As I had hinted above, masonry construction leads to a grid of measures based on the individual brick size and joint width, because you would try to avoid cutting bricks. While you’re completely free in theory if constructing with concrete, there are standard sizes for formwork, and measurements tend to follow those based on masonry. With wood the distance of the structural beams will influence the window width, ceiling heights and building standards (safety, prevent people from falling out) as well as room depths generally determine the bottom and top quotes of windows. Of course there is also a lot of design consideration playing into the decision how to distribute the window area on the facade. > > Of course you can get non standard sized windows and doors.. but they cost > more. only for some kind and if you order few, for bigger constructions it does not matter much.
