Glass Contractor for Builders and Developers in the Bronx

One glazing subcontractor for the whole building: window packages, storefront, entrance doors, glass railings and panels on new rentals and condos across the Bronx, with shop drawings, uPVC, aluminum or factory-direct supply and installation by our own crews.

← The Bronx

In short: Alex Glass Construction is a glazing contractor for builders and developers in the Bronx. We take the window and glass scope of a new building as one package: take-off from the architect’s set, shop drawings, supply of uPVC, thermally broken aluminum or factory-direct systems from several manufacturers we represent, and installation by our own crews, from the ground-floor storefront to the roof railings. The 25-unit rental at Woodycrest Avenue and 1526 Sedgwick Avenue in Highbridge are that package. Call 929-235-1233 or request a free quote.

What a builder in the Bronx gets from one glazing contractor

Most new buildings in the Bronx are rentals built to a budget, where the window package is the largest single line in the facade and the energy code sets the floor on performance. We quote the package three ways where it helps: uPVC (Aluplast and similar), thermally broken aluminum, and factory-direct aluminum from several manufacturers in China with local survey, drawings and delivery, so the developer can see the cost of each step up in the same quote.

The Elston at Woodycrest Avenue and West 164th Street is a whole 25-unit building in Aluplast uPVC, installed in two phases with the masonry; 1526 Sedgwick Avenue is a new residential building with black windows and balcony doors supplied and installed. What a glazing contractor does on new construction explains the role.

Scope we take on a new building

How we work under a general contractor

  1. Bid from the set. Send the drawings and the window schedule; we do the take-off and price the scope per opening with the systems named, with budget and premium options where they exist.
  2. Shop drawings and submittals. Every opening drawn, with the energy and performance data, for the architect’s approval; see design, planning and drawings.
  3. Field verification. Openings measured after framing or masonry, before fabrication.
  4. Fabrication and delivery. Aluminum at our Staten Island shop; factory-direct and branded lines ordered to the approved drawings; delivered to the floor, labeled by opening. See when to order windows for new construction.
  5. Installation. Floor by floor by our own crews, flashed and sealed to the air barrier, with the storefront and railings in sequence with the facade.
  6. Closeout. Protective film off, glazing cleaned, punch list, and the shop drawings as the record for the building.

For volume pricing see wholesale windows for contractors; for a factory-direct package with local survey, drawings, delivery and warranty see why buy imported windows through a local representative.

Questions People Ask

Who is a good glass contractor for builders in the Bronx?

Alex Glass Construction takes the window and glass scope of new buildings in the Bronx as one package: windows, storefront, entrances, glass railings and panels, from shop drawings to installation by our own crews. Call 929-235-1233 or send the drawings for a bid.

Do you work as a subcontractor under a general contractor in the Bronx?

Yes. Most of our new-construction work is under a GC or directly for the developer: we bid from the set, submit shop drawings, fabricate, deliver and install, and coordinate with the framer, mason and facade trades.

Do you provide shop drawings and submittals?

Yes. Every opening is drawn, with the system sections, glass make-up and the energy and performance data the architect and the filing need, and nothing is fabricated until the drawings are approved.

Can you supply windows only and let our crew install?

Yes. Supply to the window schedule with shop drawings, delivery to the floor and a site start for your crew.

Can you supply factory-direct windows from China for our building?

Yes. We are an authorized distributor for several manufacturers in China and order windows, doors, curtain wall and railings directly, with survey, shop drawings, submittals, customs, delivery, installation and warranty handled by us locally. Where a named European or American system is the right answer, we quote it alongside.

How far ahead should we order windows for a new building?

Order from approved shop drawings as soon as the openings are framed or the masonry is set: three to twelve weeks for stocked and fabricated lines, three to four months for factory-direct container orders and imported European systems.

Do you handle glass railings and storefront as well as windows?

Yes, and that is the point: one contractor, one set of drawings and one crew for the windows, the ground-floor storefront, the entrance and the balcony and roof railings.

uPVC or aluminum for a new rental building in the Bronx?

uPVC is the lowest cost per opening that meets the energy code and is what most Bronx rentals use; thermally broken aluminum gives slimmer frames, larger sizes and better durability on balcony doors and ground floors. We quote both from the same schedule, and factory-direct aluminum often lands between the two in price.

Do you install in phases with the masonry?

Yes. At Woodycrest Avenue the windows went in in two phases as the brick went up, with each floor field-verified before its units were released, so the facade trades were never waiting on us.
