Custom metal stair and fabrication services.
Residential, commercial, and strata work share a shop floor but live in different code regimes. Start where your project actually sits.
Three service tracks, one shop.
The work is the same craft — steel cut, welded, and finished to a drawing — but the rules around it change by sector. A homeowner’s feature stair is governed by BC Building Code Part 9 and a designer’s eye. A six-storey egress stair is Part 3, falls under Schedule B engineering letters, and lives or dies on shop-drawing coordination with the GC. A steel canopy or stair tower goes out under a stamped connection schedule and a CWB-certified weld procedure, not a sketch.
The three service pages below sort by who is buying and what they need at their next milestone — not by stair geometry. Pick the closest fit and the page narrows from there.
A few practical notes before you click in:
- Residential stair budgets in Metro Vancouver typically run $12,000–$70,000 for the steel scope, depending on tread material, railing system, and whether the structure is mono-stringer, cantilevered, or conventional.
- Commercial egress and lobby stairs are quoted off Issued for Construction drawings with a stamped structural connection schedule; ballpark numbers without those are guesses.
- Steel structures — canopies, mezzanines, exterior stair towers — are quoted off engineered drawings with a CSA W47.1-stamped connection schedule.
Common entry points
You are a homeowner or designer — start with Residential, then narrow by floating, mono stringer, or steel stair type.
You are a GC or architect — start with Commercial, then read the commercial hub for code and coordination notes.
You are a strata council or PM — start with the strata railing page; mock-ups, depot logistics, and per-balcony pricing are covered there.
