Glass and glazing contractors · Real estate and construction
Get on the architect's glazing list before the façade drawings are issued.
A project manager at a new IT block in Electronic City has a glazing package to place. The architect's drawing names a curtain wall system and a glass specification, and the façade consultant has asked for three tenderers with completed work of similar size.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
A glass and glazing contractor supplies and installs glass on buildings: curtain walls, structural glazing, glass railings, skylights, partitions and doors. Marketing for one means reaching the architects, façade consultants and main contractors who shortlist glazing packages. GullySales prepares the project reference book, the work pages and a record of each tender and enquiry.
Your name is on none of the lists, though you glazed a hospital block last year that is bigger than most of the projects on the manager's shortlist. Glazing is bought on the strength of the specification and the contractor's record. Glass is costly, breakage is costly, and a leaking façade is argued over for years. So the buyer wants to see sites, drawings and the people who stood behind them, and most contractors keep all of that in a phone gallery.

How buyers decide
How glass and glazing contractors are chosen.
On larger projects the architect and façade consultant draw up the specification, and the main contractor or developer invites tenders from approved glazing contractors. Past projects of the same system and similar height count for most. After that come the contractor's design and engineering capacity, the glass processors and hardware suppliers behind the quote, and the payment terms asked.
For smaller work such as glass railings, shop fronts, frameless doors and partitions, the buyer is an owner, a shop operator or an interior contractor. They search for glass work near them, ask to see a finished job, and choose the contractor who explained glass thickness, fixing and edge finish in words they could follow.
Whoever wins, the glass has to reach the site, be lifted and fixed without breakage, and be signed off by the client's engineer. A contractor with a record for handling that is invited back, and a broken-glass argument stays in people's memory longer than a good job.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for glass and glazing contractors.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“We are not on the approved list for the next big tender”
Developers and main contractors invite tenders from companies they already know. We learn about a package after the invitations have gone out.
“Our completed projects are not documented”
We have done façades and large glass work, but the drawings, system details and photographs are scattered across phones and old emails. A consultant who asks for references gets a slow, partial answer.
“Small jobs and big packages mix up in the same inbox”
A railing for a villa and a curtain wall for a hospital arrive as one WhatsApp message each. We cannot tell which one deserves the senior person first.
“Quotes sit with the buyer for weeks”
A glazing quotation goes into a tender comparison with no one on our side asking about the next step. By the time it is decided, the scope has changed and nobody told us.
“Our price is high next to a trader who only supplies”
A buyer compares our rate with a glass shop's rate for supply only. Our price includes fixing, sealant, hardware and responsibility for breakage, and the quote does not say so.
What we do
What we do for glass and glazing contractors.
Everything included for glass and glazing contractors.
A project reference book
A document of completed projects with building type, height, glass specification, system used and your scope, written so that a façade consultant can check it against a tender requirement.
A page for each kind of glass work
Separate pages for façades, railings, partitions, skylights and shopfronts, each written for the person who buys it and showing sites you completed.
A tender and quotation follow-up record
Every tender and quote is recorded with the buyer, the date, the scope and what the buyer last said, with a named person at your end who owns it.
A quote format that explains what is included
A layout that sets out glass type and thickness, framing, sealant, fixing, hardware, installation and who is responsible for breakage in transit and on site.
An architect and façade consultant introduction
A short capability pack with systems you install, the glass sources behind them and a few finished buildings the consultant can visit.

- Tender invitations received
- Quotations sent against orders won
- Reasons recorded for lost tenders
