Estimating & Pre-Construction Support
Mountainview Contracting Inc. provides glazing estimating and pre-construction support to general contractors and project teams during budgeting, tender, and early design stages.
Our estimating services are grounded in real-world glazing execution—ensuring pricing, scope, and assumptions align with how the work will actually be delivered on site.
What Our Estimating Covers
Our estimating services support glazing scopes including:
Curtainwall systems
Interior glass partitions
Glass guards and railings
Mirrors and specialty glazing
Shower enclosures and interior applications
We focus on clear scope definition, accurate quantities, and realistic pricing.
Our Estimating Approach
With hands-on experience in glazing estimating, drafting, and project management, we approach pricing with a focus on constructability and risk management.
Our process includes:
Review of drawings and specifications
Scope clarification and inclusions/exclusions definition
Quantity take-offs and system review
Budget pricing and tender submissions
Value-engineered alternates where appropriate
Review of lead times and installation sequencing
This approach helps reduce gaps between estimate and execution.
Value to General Contractors
Accurate glazing estimates help:
Improve overall project budget reliability
Reduce scope gaps and post-award revisions
Support early procurement decisions
Minimize change orders related to glazing
Align glazing scopes with project schedules
We understand that glazing often impacts enclosure milestones and interior sequencing. Our goal is to provide pricing that holds up once construction begins.
When This Service Is Most Useful
Our estimating and pre-construction support is well suited for:
Budget and feasibility stages
Tender and negotiated projects
Design-assist and early contractor involvement (ECI)
Projects with complex or fast-track glazing scopes
Pricing
Pricing for estimating services is project-specific and based on scope, system selection, quantities, and site conditions.
We provide pricing upon review of drawings and specifications to ensure accuracy and alignment with project requirements.
Let’s Talk
If you’re preparing pricing for a glazing scope or would benefit from early input during pre-construction, we’re available to review drawings and discuss approach.
