Commercial
Galvanised Access Stair
A switchback stair with checker-plate treads and landings, threaded up the outside of a weathered brick building in a courtyard barely wider than the stair.
What We Do
Custom Metalwork In Perth
Stairs, handrails, balustrades, platforms, gates, frames and one-off fabricated items made to measure, built for the opening, landing or gap you have actually got, rather than the nearest catalogue size.
The Work
Made To Measure, Because The Building Isn't Square.
Custom metalwork is where the standard product doesn't fit: a stair into an existing courtyard, a platform between two buildings that were never meant to line up, a gate into a brick wall that has moved over forty years. We measure it, draw it, fabricate it and install it, so there is one contractor accountable for whether it fits.
- Stairs, stringers and landings
- Handrails and balustrades
- Access platforms, walkways and catwalks
- Gates, posts and steel fencing
- Frames, stands and lifting frames
- One-off brackets, plates and adaptors
Finishes are specified with the quote: hot dip galvanising for anything outdoors or industrial, or bare and primed where you are painting it yourself. Ask about other finishes and we'll tell you what we handle in-house and what we send out.
Where access metalwork has to be certified (stairs, walkways, ladders, balustrades), tell us at quote stage which standard applies to your job and what documentation you need with it.
How It Runs
From A Sketch To Something Bolted Down.
-
1. Tell us what it has to do
Not what it should look like. What it has to do. Carry people, keep them out, get a forklift over a step, hold a machine at working height.
-
2. Site measure
Free on-site measure. Existing buildings are rarely level, square or the dimension the old drawings claim, which is exactly why this step exists.
-
3. Quote with the detail settled
Sizes, infill, tread type, fixings and finish confirmed in writing before anything is cut, so there is nothing to argue about later.
-
4. Fabricate
Built in the workshop to the measured dimensions, trial-assembled where the piece is complex, and checked before it leaves.
-
5. Finish
Galvanised, primed or left bare as specified, decided at quote stage, because it affects how the piece is detailed and drilled.
-
6. Install and walk it
Our own crew fits it, adjusts on the spot if it needs it, tidies up and walks the job with you. See on-site steel installation.
Your Side Of It
What We Need From You.
You do not need a drawing. You do need to be clear about what the piece has to do and what it has to fix to. Those two things decide most of the price.
-
Photos and rough dimensions
Wide shots plus close-ups of where it fixes. A tape measure in the photo is worth a page of description.
-
What it fixes to
Brick, concrete, limestone, timber, existing steel or nothing at all. The substrate sets the fixings, and sometimes the whole design.
-
Who uses it, and how
Public access, staff only, occasional maintenance access, or a load being carried. It changes what has to be certified.
-
Finish and appearance
Galvanised industrial, painted to match, or something that has to look deliberate on the front of a building. Say so early.
-
Approvals, if any
Heritage, strata, shire or a building surveyor's requirements: tell us who has to approve it and we'll detail it accordingly.
-
Access on the day
A stair or platform arrives as one or two big pieces. We need to know it will get down the side of the building before we build it that way.
Who It's For
Who This Suits.
Homeowners and renovators
Balustrades, entry gates, pool-side handrails and stairs to a deck that is not a standard height. Structural work is on residential steelwork.
Commercial fitouts and developments
Access stairs, landings and balustrades coordinated to a builder's program. See commercial projects.
Industrial sites and plant
Platforms, catwalks, machine guarding frames and one-off fabricated items. See industrial projects.
Custom work we've done
We fabricate and install custom metalwork across Western Australia. see the areas we cover.
Proof
Work Like This.
Our own photographs, on our own jobs. Each one describes what is in the picture and what work of that type takes.
Custom Metalwork
Gate & Posts
A pair of sheeted steel gates and their posts, fitted to an opening in a red brick boundary wall and photographed by torchlight.
Industrial
Access Platform & Walkway
A galvanised access platform with mesh decking and tubular handrails, plus a covered walkway frame, built into the working laneway between two industrial units.
Where
Custom Metalwork Across Perth And WA
Stairs, handrails, balustrades and gates are measured on site, fabricated in the Steel Point workshop in Perth, then brought back and fitted. That site measure is why most of this work lands in the metro area, though the same process runs for regional WA.

Questions
Straight Answers.
Do I need a drawing before you can quote custom metalwork?
No. You do need to be clear about what the piece has to do and what it has to fix to. Those two things decide most of the price. Photos, rough dimensions and a tape measure in the shot are worth a page of description.
Do you measure on site?
Yes, and the measure is free. Existing buildings are rarely level, square or the dimension the old drawings claim, which is exactly why that step exists.
What finishes can custom metalwork be supplied in?
Hot dip galvanising for anything outdoors or industrial, or bare and primed where you are painting it yourself. Ask about other finishes and we'll tell you what we handle in-house and what we send out.
Can access metalwork be certified?
Where stairs, walkways, ladders or balustrades have to be certified, tell us at quote stage which standard applies to your job and what documentation you need with it, and it gets detailed accordingly.
Do you install custom metalwork or only fabricate it?
Our own crew fits it, adjusts on the spot if it needs it, tidies up and walks the job with you. One contractor is accountable for whether it fits.
