From Drawings to Delivery
Precast Commercial Stair Treads Process
A controlled precast process helps coordinate dimensions, finishes and project requirements before commercial stair treads arrive on site.
Coordinated Before Production
First, our team reviews the available drawings and project requirements. This early coordination helps identify important details before manufacturing begins. As a result, dimensions, finishes and other tread requirements can be reviewed before the components move into production.
01
Step 01 — Project Review
Review Drawings, Dimensions & Requirements
First, we review the available project drawings, stair dimensions, quantities and schedule. We also identify finish, nosing and other project-specific requirements that may affect the precast stair treads.
When this information is available early, the required components can be coordinated before production begins.
- Project drawings
- Tread dimensions
- Quantities
- Project schedule
02
Step 02 — Manufacturing
Form, Cast & Review the Precast Stair Treads
Once the project requirements are confirmed, production moves into the controlled precast manufacturing environment. The commercial stair treads are then formed and cast according to the approved project requirements.
During production, dimensional consistency and finish requirements can be reviewed. Therefore, the process provides greater control before the components leave the manufacturing facility.
- Controlled production
- Consistent dimensions
- Finish coordination
- Quality review
03
Step 03 — Project Delivery
Coordinate Delivery & Installation Planning
After production is complete, the precast stair treads are prepared for delivery according to the project schedule. Project teams can then coordinate unloading, placement and installation with the supporting stair structure.
Finally, early communication between manufacturing and the site team can help reduce coordination issues when the components arrive at the project.
- Delivery planning
- Site coordination

Precast Stair Components
Prefabricated Commercial Stair Components
Manufactured Off-Site for Project Coordination
Precast stair components are manufactured away from the construction site in a controlled production environment. As a result, dimensions, finishes and project-specific requirements can be reviewed before the components arrive on site.
Depending on the staircase design, Sanderson Concrete can manufacture stair treads, landings and other related precast components based on approved project requirements.
Why Precast?
Benefits of Prefabricated Precast Stair Components
Commercial stair projects often require repeatable dimensions and close coordination between multiple trades. Therefore, off-site precast production can provide several practical advantages during project planning and manufacturing.
01
Repeatable Dimensions
First, precast production allows multiple stair components to be manufactured using coordinated dimensions. This is particularly useful when a commercial staircase requires repeated tread sizes or similar components.
02
Controlled Off-Site Production
Because manufacturing takes place in a controlled precast environment, production is separated from many on-site construction conditions. In addition, finishes and dimensions can be reviewed during the manufacturing process.
03
Specification Coordination
Before fabrication begins, drawings and project requirements can be reviewed with the precast manufacturer. As a result, questions related to tread geometry, finishes and component requirements can be addressed earlier in the process.
Available Components
Precast Components for Commercial Stair Projects
The components required will depend on the structural and architectural design of the staircase. For example, a project may use individual precast stair treads, landings or prestressed components.
