Glazing Estimating in Half the Time

Glazing takeoff software helps glass and curtain wall contractors quantify windows, storefronts, curtain wall panels, and specialty glass elements from architectural elevations, details, and window schedules. Glazing takeoffs require extracting both counts and dimensions — you need to know how many of each window type exist and the exact frame sizes for each unit. Manual takeoff means cross-referencing elevation drawings with window schedules, counting type marks on floor plans, and recording dimensions from detail sheets. On a commercial high-rise with 30+ unique window types and hundreds of individual units, this process is time-intensive and error-prone, especially when plan revisions change window configurations.

AI-powered glazing takeoff software like Exayard reads window schedules, counts type marks on floor plans and elevations, and extracts frame dimensions from details — all simultaneously. Instead of manually tallying each window tag across every elevation, the AI identifies type marks, matches them to schedule entries, and produces complete unit counts with sizes. It also measures curtain wall areas and storefront runs from elevation drawings. For glazing contractors, Exayard reduces takeoff time by 50% or more on complex projects, with the added benefit of catching discrepancies between what the schedule says and what actually appears on the drawings.
