Take-off & quantity survey
Quantities pulled from your elevations, sections and details, with waste and shop-fabrication allowances stated plainly so the number can be checked.

Sourcing, expediting
Sourcing, expediting
and delivery for
exterior cladding.
We are a brokerage, not a warehouse-only distributor. That means we are free to buy the right product from the right mill for the job in front of us instead of pushing whatever is on the rack.
Services
From take-off to last trip
Everything below is standard on a supplied package. None of it is an add-on line item.
01
02
Budget pricing at DD
Early pricing while the design is still moving, revised as the drawings develop. Useful when the envelope needs to hold a line in the estimate.
03
Specification review
We read the spec section before quoting: finish standard, warranty term, test requirements, and whether an alternate is even permitted.
04
Alternates & value engineering
Compliant substitutions priced against the basis of design, with the trade-offs written out — lead time, finish range, warranty, attachment change.
05
Sample & submittal support
Physical samples and chips for architect selection, product data and finish documentation packaged for the submittal.
06
Purchase order management
We hold the POs, chase acknowledgements, track production and report ship dates against the construction schedule.
07
Consolidation & staging
Multiple mill orders received, consolidated and staged so one delivery covers one elevation instead of five partial drops.
08
Release-by-elevation delivery
Material released to site in the order it is being installed, on the truck type the site can actually unload.
09
Freight management
Flatbed, van and hotshot capacity dispatched and tracked through our own carrier portal, with BOL and POD retained against each load.
10
Documentation & billing
Invoices, delivery paperwork and account statements available to approved accounts through the customer portal.
Materials
Product categories
If it is on the outside of a commercial building and it is not glass or structure, it is probably something we quote.
01
Metal panel systems
Aluminum composite and solid plate, insulated metal panels, single-skin and box-rib profiles, standing seam and flat-lock. Dry-joint and wet-seal rainscreen assemblies.
02
Architectural rainscreen
Terracotta, phenolic and high-pressure laminate, fiber cement, and ventilated stone and porcelain systems, with the carrier rails and clip hardware they sit on.
03
Sub-framing & attachment
Hat channel, Z-girts, thermally broken clips and brackets, continuous-insulation attachment, fasteners and anchors. Quoted with the panel so the assembly is priced as one system.
04
Trim, extrusion & specials
Column covers, soffit and fascia, copings, sills, closures, sunshades and canopies. Break metal and custom extrusion runs to match the panel finish and the detail on the sheet.
05
Weather barrier & sealant
Air and water-resistive barriers, transition membranes, flashing, gaskets and joint sealants matched to the panel manufacturer's warranty requirements.
How it runs
The sequence
A supplied package moves through the same five stages every time. You always know which one you are in.
- Documents in. Elevations, details and the relevant spec section. A partial set is fine to start a budget number.
- Quotation. Take-off, mill and fabricator pricing, freight allowance, lead time, and any alternates worth looking at.
- Award and release. Purchase orders placed and acknowledged. Finishes and gauges confirmed in writing before production.
- Production tracking. Ship dates reported against the schedule; exposure flagged early rather than the week material was due.
- Delivery. Consolidated, staged and released to site by elevation, with signed BOL and POD retained on the load record.
