out-of-date

As a sole handicraft design, window construction (as a craft including measurements and installation) is only very rare. Over the last 30 years, the trend has been towards industrial production. The industry has split up into two fields: window production and assembly. The assembly company measures and constructs the windows with the necessary details, calculates the production and installation costs and offers that to the customer. After commissioning, he has the windows built during production. After delivery, he builds it and is also responsible for the entire building connection (grouting).

As a rule, there are 2 trades companies:

1. Window construction (usually only takes over production)

2. Installation (all other related activities)

It is even more serious in interior doors. There, the doors are bought and installed almost exclusively from the doors (warehousing and custom-made) or wholesalers (warehousing).

Thus, a coupling of production and installation is obsolete and no longer up-to-date. This is the situation in Europe, i do not know, how it is around the wold.

shop=windows is a better tag!

Here is a shop in Sydney,Australia that sells windows made in the UK. https://ecovue.com.au/ .. How can you say that is a craft=window_construction? Far better to say shop=windows! I would think this is the norm around the world - things are made to suit the buildings construction, few things are made to some non-standard measure due to costs.
