What We See in This Business
01
Glass Procurement Front-Loads Every Job
Curtain wall and storefront glass must be ordered months before installation. Fabrication lead times mean significant material commitments exist long before any billing progress can be claimed.
02
Glazing Finishes Early and Waits for Payment
Glazing scopes typically finish before the building is substantially complete. You're done with the work — but waiting on GC payment tied to overall project completion milestones that are weeks or months away.
03
Pay-When-Paid Terms on Glazing Contracts
Pay-when-paid contract terms hit glazing contractors hard because your scope finishes early but payment is tied to project milestones outside your control. The cash gap between work completion and payment can be months.
How SPM Fixes It
Glass Procurement Cash Flow Modeling
Executive clients get cash flow forecasting that builds glass fabrication and delivery lead times into the cash position so procurement commitments are visible months in advance.
Pay-When-Paid Exposure Tracking
We quantify your pay-when-paid exposure by contract and build it into your cash flow forecast so slow GC payments are modeled — not a surprise.
Early-Finish Billing Strategy
We structure your schedule of values to maximize billing during the active installation phase so you're not relying on post-completion payments for the bulk of your contract value.
