I decided to fit my door BEFORE the metal cladding went on the front,but fit my windows AFTER.
this was because I wanted the cladding to overlap the door frame and cover the gaps which would be full of packers and expanding foam.
The window frames, however, I'd designed to protrude beyond the surface of the cladding. And leaving those frames off would allow me to hang the metal sheets over the window recess and Sharpie mark the aperture from inside. Before taking the sheet back down and cutting out the waste.
The door was a hardwood, pre-hung door with locks and hinges and everything ready to go. I got it for £300 off some polish builders on gumtree. they'd ordered the wrong width for a job so had one spare.
