Selecting the right subcontractor is crucial for the success of any construction project. For main contractors, finding a partner who offers reliability, expertise, and clear accountability across the façade package can make all the difference between on-time and on-budget delivery on the one hand, and delays, frustration, and potentially LADs on the other.
When it comes to glazing and façade solutions, working with a specialist glazing contractor ensures that this critical element of your building is handled with the precision it requires. Advanced Glass supports main contractors by delivering coordinated glazing and façade packages that reduce interface risk and improve programme certainty, providing a service that goes beyond simple installation.
A Comprehensive Suite Of Services
One of the primary benefits of partnering with Advanced Glass is the ability to deliver multiple façade-related elements within a single, coordinated scope. This approach reduces the complexity associated with managing several specialist subcontractors with overlapping responsibilities. Our services are designed to support main contractors from the pre-construction phase right through to final handover. This includes providing bespoke glazing solutions, accurate and timely design information, and integrating essential services like fire stopping and the installation of Steel Framing Systems (SFS) alongside the core glazing work. By managing these elements together, responsibility for interfaces is clearly defined, helping to minimise rework, delays, and compliance risk.
Delivering Project Certainty And Peace Of Mind
Project certainty is a key priority for main contractors, particularly on complex or high-rise projects. Advanced Glass applies a structured, proactive approach to planning, coordination, and delivery to support predictable outcomes on site. Every project is assigned a dedicated project manager, providing a single, consistent point of contact for information to flow efficiently and supporting early identification and resolution of potential issues. This approach helps reduce the risk of disruption during installation and subsequent trades. By adopting modern, energy-efficient systems and installation methods, Advanced Glass supports compliance with evolving performance and sustainability requirements, without compromising on quality, programme, or budget.
A Partner Who Goes Above And Beyond
A commercial glazing subcontractor is often required to manage challenges that sit outside standard installation activities. The team at Advanced Glass regularly supports main contractors with access, logistics, and sequencing challenges that can otherwise place pressure on the programme and resources. For instance, assisting with the coordination of site access permits for high-rise works can help remove a common constraint on progress, particularly on constrained urban sites. This practical, solutions-focused approach supports smoother site operations and helps maintain momentum during critical phases of the build. Our collaborative approach is built on a foundation of deep technical expertise and a clear focus on quality assurance and performance requirements. By working closely with your team, we make sure that every aspect of the façade is compliant, efficient, and aligned with the project’s delivery objectives.
