FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Glazing contractors, general contractors and developers evaluating facade options.

Do you price engineered curtain wall?

We price the system from the specification and manufacturer pricing. Engineering is by the manufacturer.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?

Elevations, wall sections and window details, glazing schedules, Division 08 specifications and addenda.
