Pioneer Cladding & Glazing Systems, Inc. is a leading exterior façade contractor headquartered in Mason, Ohio, renowned for its specialization in custom unitized curtain wall systems. With a commitment to quality and innovation, Pioneer aims to be a value-added partner throughout the lifecycle of a project, from design to installation. The company excels in the Design Assist approach, where their design team collaborates with project stakeholders at the early stages. This engagement focuses on three critical areas: Aesthetic Intent, Building Dynamics and Performance, and Budget/General Maximum Price (GMP).

By establishing an accurate budget for curtain walls and related elements, they are able to adapt and revise throughout the design phases as details are finalized. Ultimately, the collaboration leads to a total GMP that serves as the foundation for the construction subcontract.
Utilizing cutting-edge technologies, including AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit, Pioneer effectively streamlines the design process and enhances collaboration. Over the years, they have demonstrated the benefits of early engagement in projects, yielding effective results for owners and construction teams alike.
