Glazing lands last in the finish sequence because frameless shower enclosures can't be measured until tile is set and walls are final — that's physics, not a scheduling failure. But when the field measure isn't locked early, an unscheduled enclosure becomes a direct hold on your Certificate of Occupancy. Here's how Dallas builders can price and schedule glazing weeks before the space is ready for glass.

A $20,000 glass staircase railing isn't a markup problem — it's a spec problem. Once you break down the fabrication, engineering, and code loads a glass guard carries, the number makes sense. For luxury Dallas builds, the ROI case is stronger than most builders expect: 70–90% cost recoup versus roughly 60% for a major kitchen remodel.
