Commercial Window Treatment Estimating Services
Tribuild takes off window treatments opening by opening: shades, blinds, and drapery counted and sized from the elevations and schedule, with pockets, hardware, and motorization carried so the treatment package is priced completely.
Window treatments price out opening by opening. Tribuild takes off shades, blinds, and drapery from the elevations and schedule (each opening counted with its size, type, and fabric) and carries the pockets, fascia, hardware, and motorization that complete the package.
Motorized and integrated systems are counted with their motor, power, and control scope, pockets and fascia are coordinated with the ceiling and drywall trades, and every deliverable ships with an opening-by-opening schedule and documented assumptions your team can price and defend.
