i’m a small, but growing, remodling contractor in the raleigh area. I have someone who wants me to build an 8ft x 16ft, 3 sided glassed in conference room connected to an existing solid wall in a larger office area.
all of my work up till now has been residencial, using wood and such, but this would be using metal framing for the glassed in area. standard office stuff from what i’ve seen, but probably not the kind of thing i’ll be able to get from lowes. Where do you buy that kind of stuf around here?
thanks,
st

Look up Glass-Automobile, Plate, Window, Etc. in the Yellow Pages.
Find a company that does store fronts or contract glazing.
You may have to call around because some won't touch small jobs.
Sub the job to them. Add a markup for your efforts. You and your customer will be happy you didn't mess with something you have no experience with.
Just make sure that what they agree to fabricate and install is exactly what the customer wants.

Any big glass company will do the storefront for you if that's what is needed. I've built a bunch of glass walls etc in offices using wood.
