Supporting the Design & Specification Process
Architects and specifiers working on commercial projects that include glass block need a contractor who understands the specification process — who can provide product data, assist with spec language, review submittals, and coordinate with the design team from early design through construction.
Hawkeye works with architects and specifiers throughout Upstate New York. We can assist with product selection, provide specification language for Division 04 Section 04 23 00, review shop drawings, and coordinate with the design team during construction.
We work exclusively on glass block — which means we know the product, the specification, and the installation in depth. We're a useful resource for design professionals who want to specify glass block correctly and have it installed by a contractor who knows what they're doing.
What We Provide
Design & Specification Support
Division 04 Specification Assistance
We can provide specification language for CSI MasterFormat Section 04 23 00 — Glass Unit Masonry — tailored to your project requirements.
Product Data & Submittals
We provide product data sheets, MSDS, and submittal packages for the glass block products we install — formatted for your submittal requirements.
Shop Drawing Review
We prepare and submit shop drawings for glass block installations, showing panel layouts, joint details, anchor locations, and expansion joint placement.
Product Selection Support
We can assist with glass block product selection — unit size, pattern, opacity, and manufacturer — based on your design intent and project requirements.
Early Contractor Involvement
We're available for early contractor involvement on projects where glass block is a significant scope — providing input on constructability, scheduling, and cost during design development.
Construction Administration Support
During construction, we respond promptly to RFIs, provide substitution requests when needed, and coordinate with the design team on field conditions.
Specifying Glass Unit Masonry
Glass unit masonry is specified under CSI MasterFormat Division 04, Section 04 23 00. Key specification items include: glass block unit manufacturer and series, mortar type and mix, panel anchor system, expansion joint locations and materials, and installation method (mortar-set vs. silicone-set).
We recommend contacting us early in the design process for projects with significant glass block scope. We can help ensure the specification is complete and constructable, and we can provide budget pricing during design development.
