Accurate estimating and takeoff are key to the success of any glazing project. We provide detailed quantity takeoffs for glass, framing, sealants, and installation materials, ensuring precise calculations that streamline procurement and budgeting. We will prepare installation material takeoff lists for your project, ensuring every component, down to fasteners and sealants, is accounted for, minimizing waste and avoiding unexpected costs. With comprehensive data at your fingertips, you can explore design options that maximize energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
Every facade element is identified, categorized, and annotated. Our takeoff reports provide both high-level summaries and detailed breakdowns to support accurate project planning. The summary takeoff offers a clear snapshot of material quantities and key metrics, helping clients quickly assess the project’s scope and scale. For deeper insight, our detailed takeoff breaks down every component with precise quantity analysis, ensuring accurate procurement, cost forecasting, and scheduling—all while maintaining compliance with project specifications.
Our Build-Assist approach brings together design and construction teams to optimize glazing package before fabrication and installation. By identifying potential challenges early, we help refine system details, improve constructability, and enhance efficiency, reducing costly delays and rework.
A well-executed glazing project starts with meticulous planning and coordination. We provide detailed scheduling and project tracking using AI tools and Gantt charts to monitor progress and prevent delays. Our team works closely with clients to ensure that every phase of the project is executed on time and within budget.
We help project teams prevent issues associated with water penetration, air leakage, vapor diffusion and thermal performance by checking placement of air and vapor barriers, constructible detailing and appropriate material selection. Having accurate information early on is essential for making informed decisions and minimizing risks.
We provide high-quality BIM services (LOD 350 to LOD 500), supporting precise planning, enhanced visualization, and improved coordination between all project stakeholders. Our shop drawings, developed in Revit and AutoCAD, include hyperlinked callouts, allowing teams to navigate effortlessly between sections, details, and schedules for maximum efficiency.
We also use BIM for interdisciplinary coordination, identifying potential clashes between glazing systems and other building elements before construction begins. This proactive approach saves time, reduces costs, and enhances overall efficiency, making complex glazing installations more predictable and successful.
Accurate shop drawings are crucial for seamless execution. Our detailed documentation includes clear dimensions, material specifications, and section details, ensuring fabrication and installation teams have all the information they need to execute the project with precision.
Energy efficiency plays a major role in modern glazing system design. We utilize advanced thermal simulation software to analyze insulation performance, energy loss, and condensation risks. By understanding how materials interact with different environmental conditions, we help clients make informed decisions about glass selection and frame configurations. Our thermal simulations are backed by licensed PE-stamped calculations, providing verified performance data for regulatory approval.
Key performance factors we analyze to perform the area-weighted U-Value calculation for your project include:
– U-Value / U-Factor – Measures how much heat passes through the window. The lower the number, the better the insulation, helping to retain indoor heat.
– Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) – Determines how much unwanted heat enters through the window. A lower SHGC reduces cooling costs, especially in warm climates.
– Visible Transmittance (VT) – Indicates how much natural light can pass through the glass. A higher VT means brighter interiors, reducing the need for artificial lighting.
NFRC Thermal Simulation procedures and CSA-A440.2-19 Fenestration Energy Performance standards guided our thermal simulations, ensuring compliance with North American energy efficiency requirements. We use WINDOW 7.8 and THERM 7.8, the industry-standard approved software for NFRC calculations, to accurately assess thermal performance and energy compliance.
We utilize flixo 8.2, a specialized software allowing calculations for EN 10077-2 and Passive House compliance, ensuring your designs meet the highest energy efficiency standards.
