When glazing gets bought
Windows and curtain wall are bought long before they go in. Lead times run months, so glazing is often bid while the structure is still going up.
On 92 Miami jobs we measured, the glazing permit landed a median 210 days after the first building permit, and three in four had it by day 505.
New permits and construction starts for towers, offices, hotels and storefront retail.
