EXPERTISE
Deep Experience Meets Advanced Technology
From concept to completion, GSI partners with architects, engineers and contractors to plan and execute your vision. Along the way, we tap into decades of experience and in-house technology to ensure the solution meets your aesthetic, performance and budgetary needs. Keep reading for a brief overview of our expertise.
BIM/Revit Modeling
During the early design phase, the GSI team creates a “digital twin” of your project using the BIM process and the most up-to-date software. These highly detailed, three-dimensional models give architects, engineers and contractors the insights they need to efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage projects.
Design Assist
GSI is your total partner for every step of the design phase, collaborating with architects and engineers to manage the project’s design, costs, materials, and logistics. From conceptual design and BIM modeling to thermal analysis and testing, we use state-of-the-art technology and deep expertise to develop your vision and bring it to life.
Thermal Performance
Our team uses the latest thermal-performance technology to measure and map the surface temperature of window units. This allows us to identify issues early, optimize every window for temperature and humidity regulation, and meet your efficiency, performance and sustainability goals.
Total Station
With advanced Total Station technology, GSI helps layout jobsites quickly, efficiently and with a high degree of accuracy.
3D Printing Models
GSI uses in-house 3D printing technology to create 1:1 prototypes of structures. From full-scale three-dimensional models to tabletop samples, these detailed mockups help architects, engineers and contractors visualize projects, plan timelines, select materials and make critical decisions with confidence.
Field Team
At GSI, 100% of our projects are installed by Union Local 27 Glaziers. Working closely with our Union partners, we provide rigorous in-house training for all field team members, ensuring they meet the highest safety, quality and compliance standards.
Testing and Mockups
GSI uses in-house technology to efficiently and comprehensively test all solutions for tolerance and performance. Our in-house static test chamber, for example, allows us to pretest all custom projects prior to full fabrication, while thermal testing ensures our windows can handle temperature and humidity requirements. When additional testing is needed, GSI taps our network of trusted partner agencies.
Quality Assurance and Control
GSI provides comprehensive quality assurance and control programs to ensure that our work meets your project’s unique standards. Our experienced team collaborates with clients and vendors alike to ensure all materials meet key benchmarks before they arrive onsite.
