Therefore the only affect from specifying and using CDS doors on your project is the good feeling you will get knowing you have selected the best door system of it’s type.

What ways will the use of CDS affect dimensions shown on the Drawings?

What is the cost breakdown for using the CDS product line?

The basic product type is similar manufacture to manufacture. Therfore handling and installation bids for this product type are just that. Based on product type and the type of hardware installed. There would be no added effort to install one factory over the other. Stating that there is added cost to install CDS over another brand would be like asking for an upcharge to install the green color doors instead of the blue colored ones. These bidders should be rejected as underqualified to do the work.
