Glass and Glazing – Dimensions of panels, thickness, and sealants required for glazing systems and insulating layers

Opening Estimating Approach

At Daniel Estimating we follow a detailed process to give accurate opening estimates for doors, windows, frames, and hardware. We begin by gathering project details and understanding the project specific requirements. We review designs and specifications and ensure all elements are estimated, including type of materials, size, and quantities.

This step helps us identify the project scope and any design that requires our attention. Then, we conduct a detailed window and door take-off which calculates the exact number of handles, locks, hinges, fasteners, glass panels, glazing systems, and weather seals. By using advanced software, we ensure precision and no errors, saving you time and costs.

Then, we estimate costs, including labor charges (installations, adjustments, and finishing work). We also include waste allowances and specialty requirements for compliance with building codes and safety standards. Then our quality check team conducts a quality check to verify all estimates and ensure they align with the project budget.

We provide detailed and itemized EXCEL sheets, making it easy to understand costs and quantities. We allow busy contractors to win bids through our comprehensive estimates. Throughout the process, we are open to any changes to the bids or custom edits to meet the project’s needs. We are collaborating to help you stay ahead in the construction bidding market.
