Complete CSI Div 08 material quantity takeoffs, local Canadian crew productivity hours, color-coded PDF markups, and bid-day leveling packages delivered in 24–48 hours from CA$65.
What We Quantify for Glass Estimating
Our estimators extract every physical component from architectural, structural, and engineering drawing sets, leaving zero scope to guesswork:
- Itemized glass estimating material, fixture, assembly, and accessory takeoff from PDF/CAD/BIM plans
- Complete BHMA finish & electrified hardware sets (mortise locks, closers, panic devices, power supplies)
- 2"x4-1/2" thermally broken aluminum storefront, 2-1/2"x6" curtain wall & 1" solar-control Low-E IGUs
- Insulated sectional dock doors, rolling steel fire doors, automatic ADA operators & glass railings
Critical Bid Risks Prevented
Contractors lose profit when hidden elevations, missing addenda, or unpriced coordination items are overlooked. Our dual-estimator review actively catches:
- Electrified hardware coordination gaps (electric strikes, EPT hinges, low-energy ADA operators)
- Tempered/laminated safety glass code upgrades within 24" of doors and <18" from finished floor
- Structural wind-load steel tube reinforcing inside tall curtain-wall mullions
