TRADE DESK

Ten percent under the estimate on your desk.

Submit the glass estimate you are working from and we price the identical scope ten percent below it — with a line-by-line reading of what that estimate actually specifies. The dimensions are already on it, so no second site visit is required.

Get 10% Below Your Estimate Like-for-like scope, on a written estimate dated within thirty days from a licensed Florida contractor, confirmed against site conditions. One per project.

Trade desk: ten percent under your current estimate.

A competitive glass price only helps if the scope is complete. We separate the selected glass and hardware, installation assumptions, access conditions, and exclusions so you can compare the proposal and protect your margin. Discuss repeat-project and volume-based trade terms before the order; the agreed quote remains the reference for billing and changes.

Keep the sequence moving

Late dimensions and unready substrates can hold up an entire build. We coordinate field measurements with finished surfaces, identify drawing approvals, and discuss the installation window around site readiness. When a prerequisite changes, the next step is reviewed with the site lead before fabrication or dispatch.

One accountable point of contact

Spend less time chasing updates across vendors. Keep measurements, approvals, changes, and site coordination in one conversation.

Resolve details before site day

Coordinate mounting conditions and interfaces while changes are still easier to make. Required project documentation is identified during scope review.

Close out cleanly

Agree the walkthrough, outstanding items, and handover requirements at the start. The job should be easy to track through the final detail.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

Your questions, answered.

How is partner pricing structured?

Trade terms are reviewed around the scope, repeat work, volume, and procurement responsibilities. The written quote sets the actual price and payment schedule; there is no automatic public discount applied to every project.

What should I send for a useful scope review?

Send plans and elevations, site photographs, the project address, intended glass systems, finish requirements, and your target installation window. Include the spec section number for the glass scope if the project has one. Flag unconfirmed substrates, waterproofing interfaces, and building approvals.

Which division does glass railing fall under?

It varies. Some architects write it under 05 73 13 as glazed decorative metal railing; others put it with the glazing in Division 08. We price to whichever section your project uses — tell us which one, or send the spec and we will read it against the scope.

Can you coordinate with other trades?

Yes. Include the site lead and relevant trades early so finished dimensions, structural backing, tile, waterproofing, and access can be coordinated before fabrication.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Less chasing. Better coordination.

Send plans and elevations, site photographs, the project address and your target installation window. Flag unconfirmed substrates, waterproofing interfaces and approvals — those are what move a date.
