Heritage Glass

What Heritage Glass does

Heritage Glass Products (Aust) Pty Ltd, trading as Heritage Glass, is a Melbourne-based specialist contractor founded in 1983 that designs, engineers, fabricates, installs, and certifies bespoke commercial glazing, curtain wall, façade, and structural glass systems. The company operates as a member of the Schiavello Group, providing vertical access to sister subsidiaries Glassworks (specialty glass) and Metcon (custom steel fabrication), and serves property developers, builders, architects, and government bodies across Victoria, Australia. Its end-to-end offering spans shop drawings, structural and thermal analysis, technical detailing, fabrication, procurement, certification (Regulations 126 and FP1.4 Performance Solutions), and on-site installation delivered by in-house teams.

The company's technology is anchored in proprietary systems rather than software platforms: the Clip Fit self-draining roof glazing system, the Heritage Glass System curtain wall, Skyglass heavy-duty balustrade glass, DigiGlass decorative safety glass, and integration with LoE³-366® low-e glass products. Core product lines include curtain wall systems, shopfont/window wall systems, cladding and shading solutions, structural glazing, custom architectural façade elements with secondary steel support, and glass flooring solutions. Noteworthy technical achievements include Australia's largest point-fixed façade at Melbourne Exhibition Centre (9m high, 500m long, zero maintenance issues across 17 years), 60mm ballistic-rated glass panels (900kg each) for Victoria Police HQ, and an 8-week delivery on BMW's flagship dealership comprising 1,000m² plus of specialty IGUs.

Heritage Glass generates revenue exclusively through fixed-price project contracts won via competitive tendering and direct engagement with project stakeholders during design phase. Contract values range from hundreds of thousands to several million Australian dollars per project based on scope and complexity, with no recurring software or licensing revenue. Customer concentration is centered on commercial real estate developers (Mirvac, Grocon, Lendlease), construction primes (ADCO, Kane Construction, Brookfield Multiplex, Cross Yarra Partnership), and government/public infrastructure bodies (Victoria Police, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Whitehorse Council, Cross Yarra Partnership for Melbourne Metro Tunnel). The company does not publish pricing tiers and operates on a quote-based model with sales cycles aligned to construction project timelines spanning months to years.
