I’m not looking for specific pricing just what kind of difference between
1st floor and higher floors.? Outside only.
I have been doing this building for almost 5 years but
they have never had me do more than 1st floor.
With residential I rarely have houses over 2 floors and don’t
charge extra for 2nd floor.
Most of the glass is recessed about 2ft which I know will make it
more difficult the higher I go
I will use a WFP., though perhaps it may be better to use a lift
since they haven’t been done in at least 5 years.
The first floor is a bit different, generally much larger panels.
With the style on the upper levels, if they were on first floor
I would be at $3 / window, (each set of 4 panes).
… So then I’m thinking $4 / $5 / $6 per window
as they go up.

Sound about right price wise, I would use a lift also since the uppers have not been done in 5+ years. As long a you have good ground to work on.
From what i can see in the one pic, parking locations will have to be blocked off for the lift work.
Side note to new guys: this is an example of the respectful, supportive conversation that guys are willing to have on here to help each other build their businesses. “The love that you make is equal to the love that you take.” Or, more timeless: Do unto others…and you can expect people to respect/help you.

I’d also be curious if you’d have any issues WFP/lift-wise during normal hours of operation. Facto that in.
I do a couple smaller 2-3 story medical buildings, and I neglected to account for that in the bids. One parking lot is right next to a wall of windows, and it is all the doctor’s cars, so I have to come in off hours to get access. Kind of a headache, but still works out. Something to look out for maybe?
… Not so much parking locations but I would block the main circular drive in front for a while,
and a drive along one side. The main obstacle to a lift is in the front entry where there is a “drive under” structure. So I’ll probably do most of it with a lift and what I can’t reach with that, WFP. like on the roof around back. Most of the building though is unobstructed.
Thanks for your responses. And also thanks to Skipper and TJ.
