How to Get a Quote for a Custom Steel Staircase

What You Need to Prepare Before Asking

Before contacting us, gather a few simple details. A clear picture of the staircase area makes the first conversation much faster and more accurate.

• Photos of the stair opening or the planned location, taken from the bottom and the top
• A rough sketch with the approximate width and the number of steps if you know them
• The floor-to-floor height, if you have it from the plans
• The style you prefer, such as open-tread, closed-riser, or a combination with glass or wood

You do not need exact drawings at this stage. We will confirm every dimension ourselves.

The On-Site Measurement Step

Accurate measurement is the foundation of a good staircase. Our team visits the site, checks the height between floors, the available width, the wall conditions and the access route for bringing the finished steps into the building.

Measuring on site prevents the most common problems, such as steps that do not match the rise or a structure that cannot be installed through the entrance. Please make sure the surrounding floors and walls are at the stage you expect them to be in when the staircase is installed.

Receiving the Drawing and Written Specification

After the measurement, we prepare a drawing and a written specification. These documents describe the steel profiles, the number and dimensions of the steps, the fixing method, the railing design and the finish.

• Structure type and steel profile details
• Tread and riser dimensions
• Railing and handrail design
• Finish, such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating

Read the specification carefully and ask about anything unclear before you approve it.

Approving the Design and Confirming Details

Your approval is required before production begins. This is the right moment to change the design, the step style or the finish, because changes after production are far more difficult and costly.

If an architect, interior designer or building committee is involved, share the drawing with them as well so everyone is working from the same version.

How Production and Installation Work

Once the design is approved, the staircase is manufactured in our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv. Steel parts are cut, welded and finished with the agreed coating, and then the components are delivered and installed at your property.

Installation timing depends on the project and on the readiness of the site, so we will agree on a schedule with you during the approval stage.

Comparing Quotes Fairly

When you receive more than one offer, compare what is actually included. Two quotes can look different simply because one covers measurement, drawing, finishing and installation while the other covers only the steel.

• Is the on-site measurement included?
• Is the drawing and written specification provided before production?
• Are the finish and the installation clearly described?

A detailed, written specification is the best way to judge whether two offers are truly comparable.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to measure the staircase myself before asking for a quote?

No. Our team carries out the measurement on site, which is the most reliable way to get accurate dimensions. Your photos and rough sketch are still helpful for the first conversation.

Can I change the design after I receive the drawing?

Yes, changes can be discussed at the drawing stage before you approve it. Once production starts, changes become much more difficult, so it is best to finalize the design first.

Will the quote include the railing?

Railing is usually part of the staircase design, so we confirm it in the written specification. Please tell us your preferred railing style so it is included in the discussion.

How do I know the staircase meets safety requirements?

We design with the relevant Israeli standards in mind, including SI 1142 for railings. Exact technical values are checked with the engineer for your specific project.

Common mistakes to avoid

A common mistake is asking for a quote without including the floor-to-floor height or access route, which leads to changes later. Another is comparing offers that do not describe the same scope, such as measurement, finish and installation.

Our recommendation

Request the on-site measurement before comparing offers and insist on a written drawing and specification before approval. This single step prevents most surprises during production and installation.

Summary

A reliable custom steel staircase quote starts with photos, moves to on-site measurement, and is confirmed by a written drawing and specification you approve before production.
