Executive Summary

Glazing is the second-most-delayed trade. Most glazers run on email. We don't.

Commercial glazing carries some of the longest lead times on a jobsite — custom fabrication, manufacturer dependencies, owner-direct versus GC ambiguity. Most glazing subs still run their submittal log, RFI tracker, and cost-to-complete out of spreadsheets and inboxes. ACG runs four custom AI agents in production that touch every job we take on.

"We're not an AI company that happens to install glass. We're a glazing contractor that built the tools nobody else would build for us."
— Connor Walsh, President

This white paper documents what we built, where it works, where it failed, and what general contractors and owners should expect when they hire an AI-managed glazier. It is written for GCs, owners, architects, and the construction-tech reporters covering this shift.
