Can You Request a Site Visit Before Ordering a Steel Staircase?

t380-48

Yes. Before ordering a steel staircase you can request an on-site visit, where our team measures the opening, checks the floor and wall conditions, and discusses the design with you. The visit lets us produce an accurate drawing and written specification that you approve before anything goes into production.

What a Site Visit Includes

A site visit is a practical, hands-on assessment of the space where the staircase will be installed. We come to the property, look at the stairwell or opening, and take the measurements that a steel staircase depends on. Height between floors, the length available for the run, the width, and any ceiling or beam obstructions are all checked on site.

We also look at how the staircase will connect to the floors above and below, and at the surface it will rest on or be fixed to.

Why Measurements Matter for Steel Stairs

Steel stairs are made to measure, so small errors in the first measurement can carry through the whole project. A wall that is not straight, a floor that is uneven, or a ceiling that is lower than expected all affect how the staircase is built and fitted.

How to Prepare for the Visit

You do not need to do much before we arrive, but a few preparations help the visit go smoothly. Clear the stairwell or area so we can measure freely. If there are architectural drawings or photos from the building, have them ready to show us.

It also helps to think about how you use the space: the direction you want the staircase to turn, whether children or elderly people will use it, and how much light the area receives.

What Happens After the Visit

After the visit we prepare a drawing of the staircase and a written specification that describes the materials, the finish, and the fixing method. We send these to you for review. You can ask for changes, and we adjust the design until you approve it.

Only after your approval does the work go into production in our factory, which keeps the process clear and avoids surprises at installation.

Is the Site Visit Required?

A site visit is not always strictly required, especially when the space is simple and you can provide accurate measurements and clear photos. However, for most staircases, an on-site check is the safest way to confirm the dimensions before production starts.

If you are unsure whether you need one, describe your project and send photos, and we will advise you on the best next step.

Safety Considerations

A steel staircase must be safe and comfortable to use every day. Handrail height, guard design, step dimensions, and the staircase angle all matter. The Israeli railing standard SI 1142 covers these topics in general terms, but exact values depend on your specific project and are checked with the engineer during planning.

Raising these questions during the site visit makes it easier to include the right safety features from the start.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a charge for a site visit?

Please contact us directly to ask about the visit and how it is arranged for your project. We will explain what applies to your case.

How long does a site visit take?

The length depends on the size and complexity of the staircase and the space. We will confirm the expected duration when we arrange the visit with you.

Can I send photos instead of requesting a visit?

Yes, photos and measurements can help us start the discussion. For most staircases, however, an on-site check is recommended before production.

Do I need to be present during the visit?

It is helpful if you or a representative can be there to answer questions about how the space is used and to approve decisions on the spot.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering a staircase from a plan or rough estimate without checking the real space is a common error, which can lead to wrong dimensions. Skipping the written specification and approval step also causes avoidable changes later.

Our recommendation

Measure the floor-to-floor height and the stair opening yourself before you ask for a visit, and share photos of the area. This gives our team a clear starting point and makes the on-site assessment faster and more accurate.

Summary

You can request a site visit before ordering a steel staircase, and it is the best way to confirm exact measurements and design before production.
