Frequently asked questions
Learn how CGC supports project teams and commercial glazing contractors—from early glazing consulting through takeoffs and AutoCAD shop-drawing coordination.
What project teams ask
Who does CGC support with glazing consulting?
CGC supports general contractors, architects, and design teams that need practical specialty-glazing input during design, coordination, procurement, or construction.
Is CGC an architecture or engineering firm?
No. Contract Glazing Consultants is not an architecture or engineering firm and does not provide sealed design documents. Architectural and engineering decisions remain with the appropriately licensed professionals.
What types of glazing systems can CGC help evaluate?
Our focus includes structural glass façades, spider and point-supported glazing, four-sided SSG and cassette curtain wall, high-end heavy-glass storefronts, and Herculite-type entrance systems.
Do you provide estimating and takeoff support?
Yes. CGC supports commercial glazing contractors with estimating and takeoffs, helping organize scope, quantities, system assumptions, and bid information for review.
What shop-drawing services are available?
CGC provides AutoCAD shop-drawing support for commercial storefront, entrance, curtain-wall, and specialty-glazing scopes. Deliverables are coordination and fabrication documents—not sealed architectural or engineering design documents.
What should I send to start a project conversation?
Share the current drawing set, specifications, relevant addenda, scope narrative, schedule, and the decision or deliverable you need. CGC can then identify the appropriate consulting, estimating, or drawing-support path.
