A free printable window survey form — each opening as found, its condition, reveal and cill, what is in the way, door details and the access a quote allows for.
2 pages. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Quote for the job you will actually find — the boxed-in reveal, the alarm contact, the tiled cill — instead of the one you assumed from the front elevation.
Window and door installers, glaziers and surveyors on the first visit, before sizes are taken for the order.

Printed under the title: The first visit for a window or door job: what is in each opening now, what state it and its surround are in, what is in the way, and how you will get at it.
What is there, and what is in the way. This is the survey of what is there, not the fitting sizes for the order — those and the glass choices belong on your measure-and-fit sheet. Whether the property needs permission for new windows depends on the rules where it is: ask, and write the answer down.
Write-on lines: Customer · Address · Date · Surveyor · Property type & age · Listed / conservation? (asked) · Existing frames · Parking & access for van
Table, 26 rows: Ref · Room / elevation · Type now · Condition · Reveal & cill · In the way · Access · Customer wants
Write-on lines: Door ref & where · Opens (in / out, L / R) · Threshold now · Locks & letterbox wanted · Step or level access

On your measure-and-fit sheet, with the deductions and glass per opening. This sheet is the earlier visit: what is there now and what is in the way, so the quote covers the job before the sizes are taken.
No. Whether a property needs permission for new windows depends on the rules where it is and the property's status. The sheet has a box for what the customer told you and a prompt to check.
Measure every opening once, properly, and record all three measurements, so quotes and orders come from the same figures.
Quote and first-fix from one count, so the number of sockets in the kitchen does not change between the visit, the quote and the day the chasing starts.
Price a job in writing, with the exclusions written down, so both sides know what was and was not covered before the work starts.
Capture a job while you are still standing in it: what was asked for, what was done, what went into it and how long it took.
