TECHNICAL APPROACH
Specification before decoration.
Good fabrication starts with span, support, load path, roof material and water movement. Finish comes after those decisions are clear.
Toughened / laminated safety glass as specified
Glass panel size and support spacing is reviewed before the final quotation and fabrication scope are approved.
Custom steel support frame
Safety specification and edge support is reviewed before the final quotation and fabrication scope are approved.
Compatible glazing tape and sealant
Roof slope and joint detailing is reviewed before the final quotation and fabrication scope are approved.
Flashing, gutter and drainage system
Drainage, access and cleaning requirements is reviewed before the final quotation and fabrication scope are approved.

FAQ
Questions worth resolving before quotation.
Clear answers reduce scope changes later and make different quotations easier to compare.
Fabrication pricing changes with span, steel section sizes, roof material, height, access, finishing, drainage and installation conditions. Area alone is not enough for a reliable final quotation.
An initial range can often be discussed after reviewing photos, dimensions, location and the preferred material. The final quotation follows the confirmed scope.
No. A low area rate can exclude structure, flashings, gutters, transport, access work or finishing. Compare the complete written scope rather than one headline rate.
