Stil’è dedicates a new article to DQG
The September edition talks about complex, highly valued projects in the construction world, for example Aparto, the new student housing in Milan.
Successfully producing high quality windows for building sites is very different from producing them for retail: with building sites, starting from the complex work of design and co-design alongside studies involving the face of the building being analysed is essential.
Because of its more than fifty years of experience in the sector, its know-how that is continually improving, and its high level of design and co-design skills, DQG has become the ideal partner alongside designers and construction management for door and window casings production in the construction world.
The company in Gambellara, in the province of Vicenza (Italy), specialises in producing and installing uPVC and uPVC/aluminium casings and frames: it is well aware of the fact that satisfying the technical prerequisites defined by the client is a fundamental phase for preventing unpleasant surprises on the building site, guaranteeing an optimal result, but also for keeping costs acceptable.
“We are one of the few Italian companies that produce uPVC windows and doors to have these skills,” says Paolo Tosti, the Sole Director of DQG. “This is possible thanks to our internal structure and, naturally, thanks to important investments that repay not only over the medium period but which have given us the full support of the various players involved in the construction sphere.”
“DQG is therefore equipped with an internal office that follows these activities alone: 10 professionals coordinated by a technical manager who follow every phase, from site surveys to design creation, window and door production, and reaching the most complex part – installation. To this can be added after sales service, the necessary adjustments, and any possible repairs.”
An exhaustive example of DQG’s ability is the building site in via Giovenale, Milan, in the Bocconi area involving some Student Housing that was completed to the total satisfaction of all those involved. A complex intervention from a logistics viewpoint because of the demolition and reconstruction work that had to be done in quite limited spaces.
The company supplied around 800 door and window casings that were very specific, because they had an exterior aluminium cover for a very high level of thermal and acoustic insulation. As a demonstration of how true quality leads to supplier loyalty with complex projects, the same client asked DQG to supply, for a second, currently active construction site in via Ripamonti, Milan, another 700 frames and casings similar to the previous ones.
It is not surprising that the estimated turnover of DQG in this year of global uncertainty is positive, with the aim of closing the year at 31 million Euros thanks also to the numerous requests for renovations.
“It is difficult to make forecasts for the near future,” concludes Tosti. “There are too many variables in play, but the data talk of stabilisation in 2023 and recovery in 2024 if the delicate international situations can be resolved. Months of inflation lie before us, and probably a recession, elements that affect the purchasing power of people, which has already decreased considerably over these past years.”
“The hope is that the ease with which markets change can project us towards a recovery. We are not just worried about the difficulty in purchasing the raw materials, but also their purchase costs which, above all for glass, have increased greatly as a result of the higher cost of methane and energy in general. This situation has never been experienced before, but it has led to orders slowing down globally because the market seems to have broken its point of equilibrium.
