Request a Site Survey for Office Stairwell Railings
t330-29

A site survey for office stairwell railings is an on-site visit where our team measures the stairs, checks the structure and discusses glass or steel options with you. You receive a drawn plan and written specification before any production begins.
Why a site survey matters for stairwell railings
Stairwells are not always straight or uniform. Walls can be out of plumb, steps can vary slightly in height, and landings may have fixtures that affect how a railing is fixed. A railing made from measurements taken off a drawing alone can end up too short, too long or poorly aligned.
A survey lets us see these details before we cut any material. It also gives office managers a clear basis for comparing options and planning the work around the building's daily use.
What happens during the visit
Our technician arrives at the building, takes measurements of every flight and landing, and photographs the existing conditions. We check the wall and floor finishes where the railing will be fixed, and note any obstacles such as doors, sockets or pipework.
- Length and height of each flight and landing
- Fixing points and surface type
- Access route for materials and installation
Choosing between glass and steel
Glass railings keep sightlines open and suit offices that want a bright, modern look. Steel railings offer a sturdier feel and can be finished in powder coating or galvanizing for long life in busy areas. During the survey we talk through how each option fits the space, the traffic level and the maintenance you expect.
Exact structural values for railing height and infill spacing are checked with the engineer against the Israeli railing standard SI 1142, so you can rely on the final specification.
What you receive after the survey
After the visit we prepare a drawing of the stairwell with the proposed railing layout and a written specification covering materials, finishes and fixing method. Nothing is produced until you approve these documents.
This step keeps the project transparent. You can share the drawing with your building committee or contractor before deciding.
How the work moves from survey to installation
Once you approve the specification, the railing is manufactured in our factory at Rival Street 37, Tel Aviv. Steel parts are finished by hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating, and glass components are prepared to the agreed dimensions. Installation follows, with the site left clean and ready for use.
Preparing for your survey
To make the visit efficient, have the building plans or any existing drawings available, and let us know the best time to access the stairwell. Clear the area where possible and tell us about any recent renovations or problem spots, such as loose handrails or wobbly posts.
Send a few photos with your inquiry so we can plan the visit and bring the right tools.
Frequently asked questions
Is the site survey required before I get a quote?
We recommend a survey so the measurements are accurate. Without it, dimensions are estimates and the final railing may need adjustment.
How long does the survey take?
The time depends on the number of flights and landings in the stairwell. Our technician will confirm the expected visit length when scheduling.
Can I choose glass and steel together?
Yes, many stairwells combine glass infill with steel posts and handrails. We will advise which combination suits your traffic and design goals.
Do I have to approve the drawing before production starts?
Yes. We send a drawing and written specification after the survey, and production only begins once you approve them.
Common mistakes to avoid
Booking a survey without access to the stairwell or without the existing plans often causes delays. Also avoid choosing materials before measurements are confirmed, since a mismatch can be costly to correct.
Our recommendation
Schedule the survey while the stairwell is quiet and ask for the drawing before approving anything. Compare the glass and steel options side by side on the same drawing so the decision is based on real dimensions.
Summary
A site survey gives your office stairwell railing project accurate measurements, a clear drawing and a written specification before production starts.
