Can't adjust the family constraint for widths to be parametric. - Any help on this matter appreciated. 

Family window attached.

Dear Wallace

I tested your family by changing the Width value to 2000 mm. This seems to work as the screenshots attached show.

I also took the liberty to put an EQ constrain on the reference planes that drive the geometry for the vertical window trims.

Does this answer your question?

Kind regards

Paulus

Why you say you cant adjust it? ...I just set one of the planes to define the origin and gave EQ dimensions for the ref planes in the middle....

Great job. - Is there a quick way off adjusting the 3 panels to be all equal & parametric? Panels in the middle are wider than side panels.

Change the outer ends of the EQ constraint to the desired reference planes (aka the edges of the glass instead of the edge of the window) and reactivate the EQ constraint.
