Code, credential and scope intelligence
Window and door intelligence by building type.
Residential replacement, Part 3 commercial work and new construction do not share one universal checklist. WRKSwell first classifies the building and opening, then compares product, installation and whole-opening performance.
Project classification
Confirm residential or non-residential use, renovation or new construction, opening dimensions, egress, guards, fire separation and heritage constraints.
Evidence to captureAddress classification, drawings, permit notes and opening schedulePerformance values
Normalize U-factor, solar heat gain, energy rating, air leakage, condensation resistance, structural and water performance using the correct test basis.
Evidence to captureCertified product data and project-specific performance requirementsInstallation assembly
Compare removal, substrate repair, anchorage, shimming, insulation, air/water seals, flashing, trims, sealants and interior restoration.
Evidence to captureCSA A440.4 installation scope or project specificationSecurity and safety
Review locking, laminated or safety glazing, fall protection, forced-entry objectives and how frame and anchorage support the specified performance.
Evidence to captureHardware schedule, glazing designation and tested assembly detailsWarranty and verification
Separate product, sealed-unit, finish and labour warranties and require inspection, operation checks and deficiency correction.
Evidence to captureTransferable warranty terms, installer credentials and closeout recordOfficial and technical source library

Make the opening perform as one protective assembly.
WRKSwell can develop and compare window and door upgrades around the complete opening—glazing, frame, anchorage, locking, flashing and monitoring—rather than relying on a single glass claim.

Forced-entry-resistant glazing
Compare tested laminated or glass-polycarbonate configurations against an appropriate threat level.
Frame and anchorage reinforcement
Align the surrounding frame, fasteners and attachment design with the glazing performance.
Opening-status intelligence
Integrate discreet contacts or glass-break detection with the property’s existing security platform.
Compare windows & doors bids apples-to-apples.
WRKSwell normalizes scope, specifications, materials, warranties, and exclusions so you can confidently compare and choose the best value for your property.
