Glass & Glazing Contractors Struggle with Complexity

📐 Complex Square Footage Calculations

Curtain wall, storefront glazing, and interior glass systems require calculating rough openings, mulion layouts, and panel sizes from architectural drawings. Manual takeoff is tedious and error-prone. Missing one floor or miscounting panels directly hits profit on fixed-price bids.

💰 Glass & Hardware Pricing Volatility

Glass pricing fluctuates with raw material costs. Hardware and aluminum frames follow different pricing curves. Bid the job in Q1 at Q1 prices and you're locked in while Q3 prices have shifted 15-20%. Real-time supplier pricing is critical.

⏱️ Labor Varies by System Type

Curtain wall installation labor is different from storefront, which differs from interior partitions. High-rise work with staging costs differently than ground floor. Without tracking actual labor by system type, you're estimating blind.

⚠️ Hurricane Impact & Compliance Traps

Many projects require hurricane impact glass, soundproofing specs, or fire-rated glazing. Contract language can hide liability for failing to meet performance specs or compliance requirements. One missed requirement can create $15K+ in rework liability.

AI Glass & Glazing Estimating Platform

AI-powered square footage extraction, real-time pricing, and smart labor estimation for glass and glazing contractors.

🪟

AI Glazing Takeoff & Layout

Upload your architectural plans. Our AI identifies all glazing areas, calculates rough opening square footage, extracts special requirements (hurricane impact, soundproofing, fire-rating). Flags non-standard specs. Get complete takeoff with material requirements in minutes instead of hours.

💵

Real-Time Glass & Hardware Pricing

Live pricing from glass manufacturers and hardware suppliers for glazing units, frames, and trim. Our AI matches your takeoff with current market pricing by glass type and hardware specifications. Know your real costs at bid time.

👥

Labor Estimation by System Type

Curtain wall labor differs from storefront and interior partitions. High-rise vs. ground floor. Our AI learns your crew's actual productivity across system types and proposes labor hours based on your historical data, not industry guesses.

⚖️

Spec & Compliance Review

Contract language often hides liability around performance specs — hurricane impact, soundproofing, fire-rating compliance. Our AI flags clauses that could create rework liability if specs aren't met. Review before signing, not after disputes.

How It Works

1

Upload Plans & Specs

Provide architectural plans with glass/glazing notes. PDF or image files work great.

2

AI Extracts Takeoff

Our AI reads glazing plans, calculates square footage, identifies special specs. Get complete takeoff in minutes.

3

Build & Submit Bid

Combine AI takeoff with real pricing and labor rates. Create accurate bids and track projects end-to-end.

★★★★★
"Takeoff used to take 3-4 hours per project and I'd still miss windows or miscalculate openings. Now it's 15 minutes. Caught 200+ SF of missed curtain wall on a bid that would've cost $4K to absorb."
Derek Chen
Owner, Chen Glazing Systems
★★★★★
"Real-time pricing changed how I bid. I'm not padding 18% for unknown costs anymore. Now I'm competitive AND hitting my margin targets. Real pricing saved $2,500/month in over-padding. That's $30K annually."
Patricia Williams
Estimator, Williams Glass & Glazing
★★★★★
"Contract review flagged hidden liability around hurricane impact performance specs. We negotiated clearer language. That single catch protected us from potential $12K+ in rework liability if a test failed."
