Florida Commercial Glazing FAQ
What is a good commercial glazing bid acknowledgment time?
A good commercial glazing bid acknowledgment is under 4 business hours from RFQ receipt. ACG standard is acknowledgment within 2 hours during business hours and bid response within 48 hours on complete RFQ packages. The Florida market average is 24-72 hour acknowledgment and 7-15 business day bid response.
Why does bid acknowledgment time matter?
It signals whether the glazier is actually working your project or letting it sit in a queue. Fast acknowledgment doesn't guarantee a fast bid — but slow acknowledgment almost always means slow everything else (submittals, RFI responses, schedule communication).
What's typical for high-quality Florida commercial glaziers?
Acknowledgment under 4 business hours. Bid response inside 48 hours on complete packages. Clarification questions inside 24 hours if the RFQ is incomplete. Submittal package delivered within 10-15 business days of contract award.
How does ACG hit a 2-hour acknowledgment standard?
We run an estimating intake agent that processes inbound RFQs within minutes and routes them to the human estimating team with project type, scope size, AHJ, and lead-time flags pre-tagged. The human estimator then has the context they need to write a meaningful acknowledgment within 2 hours of RFQ landing in the inbox.
