THE WORK, EXPLAINED
Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Ask for a room-by-room opening schedule with the selected product and installation scope for each window. Agree on access, protection of occupied rooms, the removal sequence and how unfinished openings will be managed. The proposal should identify finishing responsibilities and how each installed unit will be checked before the project is closed out.

LOCAL RESEARCH / Medley
Planning your work
Miami-Dade County's building department publishes separate permit checklists for replacement windows, glass doors, exterior doors and shutters. Each one asks for a completed building permit application, a frontal elevation of the exterior wall showing where the products go together with their product approval numbers, and the current Notice of Acceptance of each window, glass door, door or mullion used. The county also states that each municipality in Miami-Dade has its own building official who issues permits within that city limits. Confirm the address and the proposed scope with your own city, because Miami-Dade County states that each municipality has its own building official who issues permits within that city limits. The checklists describe what a department asks for; they do not decide whether a particular product or opening qualifies at your property.
