On the ground
A new-construction market, and that changes the job
Most openings out here are young, which means frames are rarely the problem and the work is specification, scheduling and compliance rather than demolition.
The mistake we see most often: a tenant takes a shell, the fit-out contractor orders doors against the shell drawings, and nobody re-checks the schedule against how the space will actually be used. Six weeks later there is a storeroom function on a door that needs to stay unlocked, an exit device missing from an opening that needs one, and a closer sized for a leaf that changed.
None of that is difficult to avoid. It requires somebody to read the schedule against the use before the order goes out, and that is the part of this business we are built around.
Service lines
What we install in Indian Trail
The work splits the same way it does everywhere else on the list: hanging a new leaf, frame work in masonry and partition walls, hardware sets written before ordering, openings written up on an inspection, and fire doors and their frames. Which one a job falls under is usually settled on the phone, before anybody drives to Indian Trail.
What the work looks like here
What Indian Trail work actually involves
The doors are on a schedule
New shells arrive with an architect's door schedule, so the specification work happens on paper months before anyone is on site. An error caught at that stage costs a phone call rather than a restocking fee.
Occupant load drives hardware
A restaurant unit and a retail unit in the same building can carry different egress hardware requirements under NFPA 101 and the adopted code, and the shell drawings will not have resolved it for you.
Fit-out sequencing
Doors land late in the programme and get compressed when everything before them ran over. Ordering early is the only real protection.
Union County permitting
A different jurisdiction from Mecklenburg with its own process. We tell you what we understand it to be and we do not speak for the inspector.
Two sets of drawings, one schedule
Where the shell drawings and the fit-out drawings disagree, reading them against each other takes a few hours. Unpicking twelve wrong openings after delivery takes weeks.

Other towns on the same routes
The rest of the list works the same way, and the routes behind it are set out under the coverage map. The categories themselves — the full range of commercial door work — do not change from one town to the next.
One call settles what the job actually is.
If your shell and fit-out drawings disagree, that is worth a call before anything is ordered.
