Florida Commercial Glazing FAQ
How fast can a Florida commercial glazier bid a project?
ACG returns budget pricing in 48 hours on complete RFQ packages - well below the Florida market average of 7-15 business days.
What does a 'complete RFQ package' include?
Storefront elevations with glass type called out; door schedule (single, double, automatic operator, hardware); curtain wall sections; detail sections at head, sill, jamb; anchor conditions; and project address (so we know the AHJ). With those, we send budget pricing in 48 hours. Without them, we send budget pricing in 48 hours of follow-up clarification.
Why is the Florida market average bid turnaround 7-15 days?
Most Florida commercial glaziers don't track bid acknowledgment, don't have dedicated estimating staff, and don't have direct-relationship pricing from manufacturers. Each of those adds days. ACG built the operating system specifically to compress bid turnaround - we want to be the first credible bid in front of the GC.
Does the 48-hour budget pricing include shop drawings?
No. 48 hours covers the budget number with included scope description. Shop drawings are produced after contract award, on a 10-15 business-day standard turnaround.
