These formulations are a starting point. Questions are refined according to the objects, available materials and the expert's competence.

Are there defects in the window and its installation?

Profiles, sashes, insulating glazing units, hardware, seals, installation joints and junctions are checked within the limits of access.

What causes the drafts?

The cause may lie in adjustment, sealing, geometry, the joint or an adjoining structure; the specific detail needs to be checked.

Does the window comply with the contract?

Comparison requires the contract, specifications, dimensions, markings and actual component configuration.

Can the cost of remedying the defects be assessed?

The scope of work and cost calculation are agreed separately after the observable defects have been established.
