How to Spec Consistent Door Packages Across Multi-Unit Projects
Consistency is the key to profitable interior door installation on multi-unit projects. Inconsistent specs create:
- Multiple SKUs to track and order
- Installation variation (crews must adapt to different products)
- Punch-list items from visual inconsistency
Best practice for multi-unit projects:
| Project Type | Recommended Standardization |
|---|---|
| Apartment building | 1 style, 2–3 sizes, hollow core |
| Townhome development | 1 style, 3–4 sizes, hollow or solid core |
| Single-family subdivision | 1 style, 3–4 sizes, hollow core standard / solid core upgrade |
| Luxury residential | 1 style, custom sizes, solid wood |
