^That is not correct for either OGP or Vista in terms of glass. Other small finish trades maybe, but not having the glass follow behind the structure is a major cycle and sequencing screw up on both projects. On OGP, I understand it was due to a facade consultant moving the bar multiple times which ultimately requires the replacement of the facade contractor. If you recall, OGP actually had very expensive temporary walls installed to keep the construction moving. The delay in getting the glass on the building will now compress all other trade work as they could not finish in sequence while they were waiting for the glass to be fabricated.

At Vista, the glass contractor has still not passed crucial performance mockups. Even the small bit of glass that was installed at the shear walls has stopped progressing. This is not intentional and indicates a major blunder somewhere along the line in either design or misrepresentation of the performance the glass system could achieve. Even working multiple crews when the performance issue is ultimately resolved, I don’t see them making up the amount of time lost due to these issues. It will be interesting to see how it plays out and how much of a delay in final turnover the lack of glass will cause the project.
