Assumptions
A working day is 8 productive hours per skilled fitter. Productivity assumes leaves and frames are ready and openings are correct: flush ~4-6/day, while main/heavy, fire, glazed and sliding doors run ~2-3/day. Fire doors demand extra care — gaps ≤3mm around the leaf, continuous intumescent and smoke seals, 3+ fire-rated hinges, a working self-closer and "Fire door keep shut" signage (NBC / IS 3614). Allow free egress and accessible lever heights (RPwD ~800-1100mm) where required. The labour band is fitting only and excludes leaf, frame, hardware and materials; 18% GST applies where shown. These are indicative figures — confirm with your carpenter or fitter on site; this is a planning aid, not a substitute for a qualified fitter or site engineer.
