Hello, I have a question.
When was your front door installed? The reason I ask is that we are building with a general contractor (GC) and have removed the front door because we want an aluminum door. The GC only offers wooden doors.
We are starting construction on Monday, and our GC said we should order the front door now so it can be installed in about 5 weeks (when the shell construction is finished).
Now that I’ve thought about it, I’m wondering if it really makes sense to install the new door so early? I mean, many tradespeople will still be coming in and out, and apart from the shell, nothing else is completed yet. So my question is whether it’s common to have a front door installed this early. I have also often seen that only the frame for the front door is installed first, and the door itself is temporarily fitted with a construction door panel.
How was it for you?

Yes, that's what it reads like – what good would a picture of the flaw do for you otherwise? The longer you discuss it, the stronger the impression becomes; that is probably true. However, that definitely isn’t due to my simple request regarding photo material.
Let it be

Sebastian7927 May 2016 10:49I knew you would think that way. And simply because it’s cheeky, I didn’t follow the request.
What you think about it doesn’t matter to me – the fact is that many tradespeople often bump into the inner frame or the door leaf when going in and out. And since you can at most put tape on it, that area remains unprotected.
I didn’t say more than that, so your clever remark doesn’t really help.

We will soon have the ground floor renovated. We will order the door ourselves and install it ourselves as well (it’s not our first door). We will get new screed, tiles, and plaster.
If I understand correctly from what I’ve read online and here: The new door is installed before the screed and plaster? Our shell has been standing for 100 years. And then you just protect the door with foil or similar?
