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

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

Design assist is particularly valuable for:
Projects with complex glazing scopes
Fast-track or phased construction
