## The Core Quoting Workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Identify the opening and door type" icon="door-open">
    Confirm whether this is new construction or replacement, interior or exterior, single door or a larger configuration with double doors or sidelites.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm slab-only or prehung" icon="package">
    A slab is the door panel alone. A prehung unit includes the frame, hinges, and related components. This single question changes measurements, pricing, and install assumptions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Capture field measurements" icon="ruler">
    Collect rough opening width and height (multiple points each), slab size, jamb depth, and door thickness. Always record the smallest measurement at each dimension.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm handing, swing, and operation" icon="rotate-cw">
    Record left-hand or right-hand, and inswing or outswing. Never assume. This is one of the most common and costly quoting errors.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select material, glass, hardware, and options" icon="settings">
    Document material type, lite style, hardware prep, finish details, casing, and any sidelite or threshold requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review install conditions and risks" icon="alert-triangle">
    Check for out-of-square openings, existing trim reuse, brickmould constraints, and jamb extension needs before quoting.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Prepare and submit a clean quote" icon="check-circle">
    Verify all specs before sending. A good quote is a verified specification, not just a price.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Never submit a quote based on a single photo and a guessed size. Rough opening, jamb depth, and handing must all be verified. Errors here result in remakes, delays, and lost margin.
</Warning>
