Whitefield gives us our two most different jobs in the same postcode. Inside ITPL and the EPIP campuses, the glass is easy but the passes are not. In the towers around Kadugodi and Varthur Road, the flats are new and the walls are straight. The whole job is easy once the association books you a lift slot. We plan for both from the first phone call.
Getting into a tech park
The glass is the simple part. The pass is not. Most campuses here want a work permit raised by you as the tenant, a list of our workers with photo ID, an insurance letter, and a separate material gate pass for the glass.
That takes a few working days to put together. If we start it the day you approve the price, it costs you nothing. Your glass is being made over the same days. Leave it until the glass is ready, and it holds the job up by about a week.
So we prepare it and you sign it. The campus only accepts it from the tenant.
Cabins on a floor people are using
Most partition work here is on floors already in use. So material moves at night or over a weekend. We fit, clean up, and hand the floor back before your team arrives.
One cabin is usually a single night. A run of eight or ten is split over several nights, so finished rooms come into use while we build the rest.
Partitions run full height to the ceiling grid, in toughened glass (safety glass), with a frosted band at eye level. That band keeps people from walking into the glass on an open floor, and most campuses ask for it anyway. If you want your logo on it, we etch it into the glass while it is being made. We do not stick a film on afterwards.
The apartment side, where the flats are new
Around Kadugodi and along Varthur Road, most towers were handed over in the last ten years or so. That changes the answer on style. The walls are straight, so frameless works well and looks better. We do not need a frame to hide movement.
Most of this work is a first fitting in an empty flat. It is the easiest site we ever get. Nothing to protect, and nobody waiting for the bathroom.
If you have two or three bathrooms, do them in one order. One measuring visit, one delivery and one booking for our team, instead of three of each. On a flat that is the biggest saving there is. It is bigger than anything we could take off the rate.
How long it takes, and the one firm rule
About a week to ten days for one cabin or one enclosure. We usually measure within a day or two, the glass takes a few working days to make, and fitting is a day.
The firm rule is for bathrooms. We measure after the tiling is done, never before. The finished tile face is the size that matters. Toughened glass is cut before it is toughened, so we cannot trim it later to fix a guess.
Tell us your tiling date when you first get in touch and we will book the measuring visit against it.
