Balustrades typically consist of a hand rail, top rail, infill panel, bottom rail and a post.

How do we produce drawings for balustrade and handrails?
From the survey information in conjunction with the floor and tread build up we calculate the required riser heights.
Based on the architects drawings we then produce a fully compliant 3D CAD Model in Advance Steel.
From the 3D CAD Model we generate a General Assembly Drawing for approval. The GA Drawing will include all relevant views (plan, elevation, sections) as well as the connection details.
Once we have gained approval of the GA Drawings we will revise this to a construction issue. Further, we will produce the assembly & single parts drawings, material & bolt lists as well as the NC Files.
