Electronic City has more rules around fit-out work than almost anywhere we go. Almost none of them are about glass. The glass part is simple. What decides whether your cabin is ready on time is the work permit, the worker ID passes, the insurance letter and the material gate pass. We start all of that on the day you approve the price. That is the only way it does not cost you a week.
The permit decides the date, not the glass
Before any material can move, most campuses here want four things. A work permit raised by you as the tenant. Our workers listed with photo ID. Proof of insurance. And a separate gate pass for the material itself.
That takes a few working days to put together. Your glass also takes a few working days to make. Run them at the same time and the paperwork costs you nothing. Leave it until the glass is ready and it holds the whole job up by about a week.
So we fill it in and you sign it. The campus only accepts it from the tenant.
What a cabin here looks like
Cabins and meeting rooms on floors where people are already working. The brief is nearly always the same: split an open floor into rooms without making it feel closed in, and without your team losing a working day.
So most partitions run full height to the ceiling grid, in toughened glass (safety glass), with a frosted band at eye level. That band is a simple safety measure on a busy floor. Most campuses need it anyway.
If you want your logo on the band, we etch it into the glass while it is being made. It looks better and lasts far longer than a film stuck on later.
Working through the night, and what it costs
Material comes up in the booked slot, usually overnight. We fit the panels, clean up, and hand the floor back before your team arrives. One cabin is normally a single night. Six to ten cabins take several nights, done in stages so finished rooms come into use while we build the rest.
Night working and booked lift slots add real hours to a job. We show that in the written price rather than adding it later.
The honest way to bring the cost down is to order more at once. One permit, one delivery and one non-stop booking for our team covers a whole floor. One cabin at a time over six months is the dearest way to buy exactly the same glass.
Repairs on a live floor
The most common call is not broken glass. It is a cabin door that slams, drifts open or will not latch. That door is opened hundreds of times a day, and the closing gear in the floor wears out. Changing it is usually a two to three hour visit.
Getting a repair team in still needs worker IDs, and often a lift slot. But campuses are usually easier about a short repair than a full night of fitting.
We treat broken glass as urgent. Where we can get in, we clear it and cover the opening the same day, so the floor stays safe and usable. The new panel takes a few working days to make.
