Working together, we can leverage our architectural relationships and superior product to help you win. 

Here's a simple Fire Rated Glazing Estimators Checklist to get the RFQ's rolling: 

 

Project Information Schedule Documentation
 Project Name  Quote Date Requirement  Take-off with Dimensions and Quantities
  Location  Materials Required Date  Fire Rated Glass Specification
     Hardware Specification
       Drawings with elevation and floor plan

 

These items appear simple because they are.  We find most of the RFQ's we receive are complete and we're able to provide a timely quote. 

The most common mistake is forgetting to include the SpecificationBoth the Fire Rated Glass and Hardware Spec are important. We need to confirm the spec language and identify the requirements.
