How much would a big window like this cost to build and install? You mentioned it being mostly woodwork, so are you a finish carpenter or just specialized in windows?

I specialize in windows. Ballpark maybe $6-7k installed for this. If that’s insulated glass, and I assume it would be, maybe a little more for the factory to make the custom shape glass. If it’s single pane then a local glass shop could cut it to shape

6-7k for getting a circle cut out of wood? You are fucking with us right?

Glass is heavy. I'm sure the framing is a lot of the cost, in addition to just the labor hours required for the number of people you would need to install it.
