Specifying custom steel windows for a commercial project requires clarity, coordination, and precision. Below is a brief transcript-style look at how Pinky’s works with architects throughout the ordering and production process.
Architect Consultation With Pinky’s Sales Team
Architect:
We’re designing a commercial property and looking to source custom steel windows. What does your process look like?
Pinky’s Sales Team:
We begin by reviewing your architectural drawings and window schedules. Our team evaluates dimensions, configurations, and design intent to ensure the steel window package aligns with your project goals before moving into quoting.
Architect:
When is the best time to bring Pinky’s into the project?
Pinky’s:
Ideally during design development. Early collaboration allows us to provide guidance on sizing, sightlines, and configuration options so your drawings reflect realistic fabrication parameters before final specification.
Architect:
Do you handle structural engineering or load calculations?
Pinky’s:
We do not provide engineering or load calculations. Those are typically handled by your project engineer or consultant. However, we work closely with your team to ensure our fabrication specifications align with the approved architectural and engineering plans.
Architect:
How does customization work for commercial steel windows?
Pinky’s:
While we do have windows in stock, many of our larger, more specific jobs are made to order. Once dimensions and configurations are finalized, we generate detailed shop drawings for your review and approval. After sign-off, production begins.
Architect:
What can we expect during fabrication?
Pinky’s:
You’ll receive a projected lead time upfront. Throughout production, our team remains available to coordinate with your project manager or general contractor to ensure alignment on scheduling and delivery.
Architect:
And delivery for a commercial site?
Pinky’s:
Windows are professionally packaged for transport, and we coordinate delivery timing to match your construction schedule whenever possible.
