Designing and Installing Staircase To Mezzanine Floor

Client

The client Jade Aden Interiors contacted us as they were looking for expertise regarding the design, supply and installation of a staircase for a new mezzanine floor in a warehouse building they were working on.

The client provides turnkey refurbishments and fit-outs to create bespoke, branded environments that are comfortable and functional. They have built up a trusted and reliable reputation across the South and have businesses from all sectors reaching out for their help.

Project Brief

The client wanted a bespoke staircase design that was different to standard staircases found in similar warehouse buildings.

Because they were looking for something different, they needed a specialist team to design something that would fit in the space available while meeting industry standards and their design aspirations.

We were also asked to supply and deliver the materials to the site and install the staircase within the specified timeframe.

Project Implementation

When we were contacted about the project, we were given a very tight time frame to complete the work so that the rest of the building work could be completed.

The project started with a site visit so that our team could assess the space available for the staircase and understand the setting. It was important that we understood the purpose of the building and the mezzanine floor so we could ensure our designs included all the health and safety features required for the industry.

With this knowledge, we were able to design a staircase that incorporated handrails, nosings and a smart industrial finish. Throughout this process, we worked closely with Jade Aden Interiors to ensure we met the end clients’ requests.

Once the designs were given the go-ahead, we were able to start gathering the materials and delivering them to the site.

While doing this, we also confirmed an installation date with Jade Aden Interiors, making sure that we were in line with project time frames.

Our team arrived on site and installed the bespoke staircase with mesh steel treads, yellow nosings and black steelwork for a smart, industrial finish with high tread visibility.

Challenges Faced

Throughout this project, we faced a few challenges.

One of the first challenges was the time scale, as it was a tight turnaround from the site assessment to installation and handover to Jade Aden Interiors to complete the rest of the work. As we were aware of this going into the project, we ensured that we meticulously planned the project so that we could be confident we would meet the deadline.

We also had to take care when designing the staircase because we had to ensure all building regulations and health and safety standards were met while also meeting the specified requirements of the client to create something different from the usual industrial staircase. This was achieved by working closely with the client and communicating regularly.

The final challenge we faced was access to the space we were working in. The site was a building site, making it difficult to gain access to the area where the staircase was to be constructed and fitted. To overcome this, we used a specific plant that helped us navigate the uneven ground and provided the right access to complete the installation.

The Result

The result of our work and collaboration with Jade Aden Interiors was the design, supply and installation of a bespoke staircase that is clean, highly visible and smart. It provides the perfect access to the new mezzanine floor.

We were able to install the staircase in a suitable location that allows easy access to the building’s fire exit so those working in the space can be confident they are safe in all situations.
