Aluminium Window & Door Supply for Melbourne Builders
A project-focused supply pathway for builders who need clear pricing, practical system selection, schedule review and coordinated delivery.
Project approach
A Supply Process Built Around Builder Documentation
ARVICA works with Melbourne and Victorian builders on new detached homes, duplexes, townhouses and selected architectural projects. Pricing begins with the information already used to manage the build: architectural drawings, the window schedule, energy requirements, glass notes, colours and the required project program. This keeps the review grounded in documented openings rather than a retail replacement-window process.
Before production, ARVICA reviews the approved drawings and window schedule against the quoted scope. Standard residential windows and doors are generally manufactured from those approved documents. Shop drawings can be prepared when large doors, combined frames, unusual thresholds, thermally broken systems or project-specific architectural details need additional coordination.
Project workflow
From Project Information to Site Delivery
A documented sequence helps keep system decisions, pricing and responsibilities aligned.
- 01
Issue plans and schedule
Send the current architectural set, window schedule and available energy or glazing information.
- 02
Scope review
Openings, configurations, glass, colours, screens, hardware and exclusions are reviewed for pricing.
- 03
System pathway
Suitable residential, architectural or thermally broken options are considered against the project requirements.
- 04
Price and confirmation
The builder receives a documented project price with assumptions, inclusions and items requiring confirmation.
- 05
Production coordination
Approved project information is checked before manufacturing is released through the confirmed production arrangement.
- 06
Delivery or installation
Site timing, access and responsibility are coordinated for supply-only or an agreed installation scope.
Product and system pathways
Window and Door Options for Builder Projects
The right product mix depends on opening sizes, design intent, glass weight, weather exposure, energy requirements and budget. These pathways support early scope discussions.
Residential doors
Sliding, stacker, folding and hinged door options for living areas, entries and alfresco connections.

Typical Project Considerations
These items should be addressed in proportion to the selected opening, system and project scope.
Documentation status
Identify whether drawings and schedules are tender, construction or approved-for-production information.
Energy and glazing
Provide the energy report, U-value or SHGC requirements where applicable, and nominated glass specifications.
Site exposure
Wind, water and installation requirements depend on the site, opening and selected configuration.
Build program
Allow time for scope clarification, colour approval, technical review, manufacturing and coordinated delivery.
Installation responsibility
Confirm supply-only or installation requirements so interfaces and exclusions are clear before order.
Variations
Changes to sizes, hardware, glass or colours should be documented and confirmed before production release.
Frequently asked questions
Practical Answers for Project Teams
What information does a builder need for a window quotation?
Provide architectural drawings, the window schedule, project address, energy report, glass and colour requirements, target supply date and whether the scope is supply-only or includes installation.
Can ARVICA quote from architectural drawings and a window schedule?
Yes. That is the normal starting point for standard residential pricing, provided the documents contain enough information to establish opening sizes, configurations and performance requirements.
Do standard residential windows require shop drawings?
Not usually. They are generally manufactured from approved architectural drawings and the builder’s window schedule. Shop drawings may be prepared for custom or complex configurations.
Do you offer supply-only aluminium windows?
Yes. Supply-only can be quoted for builders coordinating their own installation team. Supply and installation may also be considered where it is included in the written scope.
When should windows be ordered during construction?
Timing depends on documentation readiness, approvals, manufacturing lead time and site program. Engage early enough to resolve system, glazing and colour decisions before the required delivery date.
