FACADE PROJECT & PACKAGE MANAGEMENT

Glazing Consultancy Services has vast and extremely diverse facade management experience, along with a proven history of deliverables. Whether a Glass, Glazing and Facade Contractor, a General Contractor needing a facade package managed or an installation sub-contractor in need of an intermediate voice between the aforementioned groups, we can most certainly assist and are very well placed to do so.

Glazing Contractors – Glass & Glazing Scope Project Management

With two-plus decades of direct facade management for Glazing Contractors, our founder has operated at all levels, from Project Manager to Vice president of Operations. This offers Glazing Consultancy Services grounded leadership and an understanding of a glazing contractor’s key structures, processes and just how to get the best from a team, generally operating on a subcontract basis to a Developer or General Contractor. We offer direct, transparent and data-driven Facade Project Management, with a clear and keen eye on Scope, Schedule and Budget. With a major installation background, our Project Management understand not only the key project elements but also an understanding of how they must move forward hand in hand with the physical, i.e., production and site execution.

General Contractors – Glass & Glazing Scope Package Management

Glazing Consultancy Services hold a strong relationship and bond with many General Contractors, either working alongside them wearing the Glazing Contractor hat or, as a directly contracted Facade Package Manager. Understanding the complexities and most importantly the processes within both organizations ensures the facade scope is executed professionally.

Installation Contractors – Glass & Glazing Scope Assistance / Mediation

Installation teams, especially sub-contractors in this instance, rely on clockwork operations at a bare minimum. Should a single element be out of sync, it can scupper your operational and billing projections for even longer. Poor or loose management from either of the aforementioned contractors can spell disaster for Installation Teams at the mercy of their client’s management team and solely dependent upon clockwork production and delivery of material. When certain elements fall short, with a vast installation background coupled with major immersion within General and Glazing contractors organizations, Glazing Consultancy Services is in a perfect position to assist and mediate at any given time or stage within a project.

PROJECT FORENSICS

Things go wrong. We all make mistakes and construction projects, by their very nature sport vast potential risk. Management of said risk can make or break any project and in turn, a contractor’s ability to retain future work. Understanding potential risk at the time of tender is imperative but alongside that understanding is a need to maintain not only that initially flagged risk, but the ever-changing landscape of a project.

EXPERT WITNESS

Glazing Consultancy Services has been called upon a great deal of late to address, assist and report upon certain elements of a project that have, for one reason or another, gone astray and cost other parties dearly. We also live in a world where, even with the best of intentions, things can turn upside down very quickly. Accidents involving glass, insurance claims, miss-management of facade projects, scope delays, contract interpretation and a multitude of other related elements that require expert opinion or evidence.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION SERVICES

Construction is riddled with challenges and in turn, risk. With the best will in the world, things can go wrong and all parties can get hot under the collar, once smoothly running contracts can take a sudden turn for the negative. With major management experience coupled with a professional and clear outlook, Glazing Consultancy Services, with fresh eyes and an independent outlook, are able to mediate between all parties. Should areas of concern escalate, we have a solid history of working directly with legal counsel to offer impartial reporting and professional advice based on decades of diverse and vital experience.

MULTI-SCOPE EXPERIENCE

With decades of diverse glazing experience, Glazing Consultancy Services offer a prime practised and delivered knowledge base. Management, technical and operational experience culminate in making GCS a leading all-round Glass & Glazing Consultancy group.

LARGE VALUE UNITIZED & STICK CURTAIN WALL & PANELS – LARGE POINT FIXED APPLICATIONS – INTERIOR GLASS – HERITAGE REGISTERED.

HIGH VALUE PROJECT EXECUTION

GCS has been lucky enough to manage and execute some of the most prolific builds globally. Contract values held and managed range from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of millions with a single project topping the $500m mark. The scope attributed to these managed values is of course multiple and needs experience in order to manage and balance the moving parts and pieces attributed to multi-scope management.

BRITISH TRAINED & HERITAGE REGISTERED

Our founder, Michael Hockham, still maintains his British National Heritage Trust Registration in the UK. The registration transfers nicely to North America and culminates in him and GCS, being able to advise, manage and even directly work on heritage glass applications. In essence, Michael is authorised to carry out restoration works on historical pieces dating back as far as the 12th century. To find out more, using the link below you can navigate to Michael’s Stained Glass Website where his family-owned and operated business takes on new commissions, restoration and repairs and consult for heritage applications.

GENERAL GLASS & GLAZING ADVICE

Whatever your application, concern, incident or plan, we are always here to assist. Most recently we have consulted for all parties involved in the tallest tower build in Canada. At the time of writing, we have also just offered advice to a young couple wishing to apply glass balustrades to their deck and interior staircase. Our experience is vast and extremely diverse with the owner of a major client recently calling us the “Swiss knife of Glazing.”

Whatever your need, we are here to assist and, drawn from decades of diverse and engrained experience, offer you the best possible advice we can.
