PROJECT-SPECIFIC PRECAST

Custom Steps Built Around Your Project

Custom precast concrete steps can be manufactured around the dimensions, geometry, finish requirements and site conditions of a specific project.

Rather than selecting only from a standard configuration, project drawings and dimensions can be reviewed to help establish the required step layout before production. This is particularly useful for commercial, municipal, multi-residential and architectural projects with defined design requirements.

The project defines the configuration. Dimensions, structural conditions, finishes and site requirements should be reviewed together before manufacturing.

WHY CUSTOM PRECAST?

Why Choose Custom Precast Concrete Steps?

Custom precast concrete steps allow key dimensions, architectural details and manufacturing requirements to be coordinated before the components arrive on site.

For projects with defined geometry, finish requirements or installation conditions, precasting can provide greater control over how the stair components are produced and prepared for delivery.

01 CONTROLLED MANUFACTURING

Project Requirements Can Be Reviewed Before Production

Custom precast steps are manufactured in a controlled production environment rather than being formed entirely at the project site. This allows dimensions, visible surfaces and component details to be reviewed against the available project information before manufacturing begins.

Finish requirements coordinated in advance
02

Project-Specific Geometry

Widths, elevations, rise-and-run relationships, landings and other geometric conditions can be coordinated around the requirements of the project.

03

Architectural Finish Control

Surface texture, colour, exposed aggregate, sandblasting and edge details can be incorporated into the precast manufacturing process where appropriate.

04

Earlier Project Coordination

Drawings, dimensions, support conditions, finishes and site requirements can be reviewed before fabrication rather than addressing every detail during site construction.

05

Less On-Site Forming

Because the concrete components are manufactured off-site, precast construction can reduce the amount of forming and concrete production required directly at the project location.

06

Repeatable Components

Projects requiring multiple similar stair components can benefit from coordinated molds, dimensions and finish requirements across the manufactured units.

07

Delivery Planned With the Project

Component size, lifting considerations, transportation and site access can be reviewed as part of the project coordination process before the finished precast units are delivered.

THE PRECAST ADVANTAGE
Design coordination happens before the concrete arrives on site.

Custom precast is particularly useful when a project requires defined geometry, architectural finishes, repeatable components or greater coordination between manufacturing, delivery and installation.

PRECAST PROCESS

From Project Drawings to Finished Precast Stairs

Precast concrete stairs and steps are manufactured off-site under controlled conditions before being delivered to the project. The process allows dimensions, configurations, reinforcement and architectural details to be coordinated before production begins.

Project requirements determine the final stair configuration.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Custom Precast Concrete Steps FAQ

Custom precast step projects can vary significantly in dimensions, geometry, finish and site conditions. These answers cover some of the information commonly considered during early project planning.

01 Can precast concrete steps be manufactured to custom dimensions?

Yes. Custom precast concrete steps can be developed around project-specific dimensions and geometry. Stair width, tread depth, rise, run, number of steps, landings and overall configuration may all form part of the project review.

Final dimensions should be coordinated with the applicable architectural, structural and site requirements before manufacturing.

02 What information should I provide for a custom precast step project?

Useful starting information includes the project location, approximate stair dimensions, number of steps, required elevation, available drawings, finish requirements and anticipated project timeline.

Information about delivery access, lifting conditions and installation requirements can also be important for project coordination.

03 Can Sanderson Concrete work from architectural or structural drawings?

Project drawings are an important source of information for reviewing custom precast steps. Plans, sections, elevations and structural details can help establish geometry, support conditions and the relationship between the precast components and the surrounding construction.

04 What parts of a precast concrete step system can be customized?

Depending on the project, customization may include stair width, rise and run, tread depth, overall elevation, landings, profiles, transitions, surface finishes, colour, nosing details and edge treatments.

The practical options for a specific project depend on its design, structural and manufacturing requirements.

05 What finish options are available for custom concrete steps?

Architectural requirements may include different concrete textures, colours and surface treatments. Depending on the project, examples can include sandblasted surfaces, exposed aggregate, broom finishes, pigmentation and other project-specific treatments.

Finish selection should be coordinated early because it can influence the appearance and manufacturing requirements of the finished precast components.

06 Can custom precast steps include different nosing or edge details?

Depending on the design requirements, stair edges can incorporate different profiles and treatments, including bullnose details, tactile treatments, abrasive nosings and other specified edge conditions.

Nosing and edge requirements should be identified during project coordination so they can be incorporated into the manufacturing details.

07 Can custom precast concrete steps be used outdoors?

Custom precast steps can be considered for exterior applications such as building entrances, landscape transitions, public spaces and other outdoor projects.

Exterior applications should account for the required surface treatment, drainage, exposure conditions, structural requirements and applicable project standards.

08 How are custom precast concrete steps delivered to the project?

Delivery requirements depend on the size, weight and configuration of the precast components as well as the accessibility of the project site.

Transportation routes, unloading conditions, lifting requirements and site access should be reviewed as part of project coordination before production and delivery.

09 What should be considered before installing custom precast steps?

Installation planning should consider support conditions, connections, component weights, lifting requirements, site access and the sequence in which the precast units will be placed.

Final installation requirements should follow the applicable project drawings, specifications and engineering requirements.

10 How do I start a custom precast concrete step project?

Start with the information currently available for the project. Approximate dimensions, drawings, project location, finish requirements and timeline provide a useful basis for an initial review.

More detailed requirements can then be coordinated as the project develops.
