No, door frames are always installed after the interior plaster. Frames at most, if installed flush. You can see this well in practice when you go to existing buildings and notice that there is always plaster under the frame. If you install before the plaster, you are also installing before the screed. Thus, you can practically not install the door frame, as it is set with a minimal gap to the screed and the floor covering.

We are talking about the front door here. And that goes in before plaster and screed. Different from the interior doors.

:) And now everyone reading here knows that you are planning an EIGHT meter long natural stone slab in the kitchen. ;)

And what is so bad about that? It was meant to be an example that size doesn’t always matter... :-)

We are talking about the front door here. And it is installed before plaster and screed. Different for the room doors.

No, mostly not. Plaster + screed leave some space. The door comes in at the very end and is slightly reworked.

I have learned that now as well. I had outsourced the doors because only the installation time for the interior doors was indicated on the construction plan, so I followed that. In the end, the exterior and interior plaster as well as the screed were done twice. Before installation and after installation of the doors. Here is a photo from outside and inside.

Two times work means 2x travel costs and total costs. The construction time is also extended because the plasterers also have to come immediately after the door installation, but that rarely works...

Just like with you... But it is cheaper than always fixing the damage to the door. And not to mention the discussions with the builders - as you can see here with the OP.
