Design Assist

Mountainview Contracting Inc. provides design assist services to support glazing scopes during early project stages.

Our design assist approach is focused on constructability, coordination, and cost certainty—helping project teams make informed decisions before drawings are finalized and materials are released.

What Design Assist Means

Design assist is a collaborative process where we work alongside general contractors, consultants, and design teams to review glazing systems early and provide practical input based on real-world installation experience.

This involvement helps bridge the gap between design intent and site execution.

Our Design Assist Capabilities

Our design assist services include:

  • Review of architectural and glazing specifications

  • Constructability and sequencing input

  • System selection and detailing support

  • Budget pricing and value engineering options

  • Lead time and procurement planning

  • Coordination with structure, finishes, and adjacent trades

Our background in estimating, drafting, and project management allows us to identify issues early—before they become RFIs or change orders.

Value to the Project Team

Early glazing involvement helps:

  • Reduce RFIs and redesign

  • Improve budget accuracy

  • Clarify scope and responsibilities

  • Align glazing systems with schedule milestones

  • Support smoother transition from design to construction

The result is fewer surprises once the project moves to site.

When Design Assist Is Most Effective

Design assist is particularly valuable for:

  • Projects with complex glazing scopes

  • Fast-track or phased construction

  • Tight budgets or aggressive schedules

  • Early contractor involvement (ECI) delivery models
