Helping You Get the Job Done – Railing Drawings

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

At Simplified Building Concepts, we try to go the extra mile to help you understand how our railing products work.  Frequently, we receive quotes for complex railing jobs where the only document supplied is a 2D landscape or architectural layout.  When you order a railing system from us we can supply a 3D drawing, complete with fitting labels.  These drawings will help you communicate to your contractors exactly what needs to go where. 

Here are some samples from a recent job.  Our CSP, Sam Wender, completed the 3D drawings from the 2D layout below.

Here’s a sample of the drawings that were supplied:

Contractor Opportunity: Build ADA Handrails

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

For years welding fabricators have had a monopoly on installing ADA handrails. Our Series 500 ADA fittings make it possible for contractors to now enter the area of handrail construction. Listen to what contractor Andy Pease had to say:

“Now that I’ve worked with the fittings, I could build and significantly improve this same Kee Klamp project in one third of the time. This product gives fence contractors the opportunity to compete with fabricators who can bend and weld on site. Because there hasn’t been much competition, I think it’s a substantial market with good margins, but they can’t send guys like me into a hatchet fight without a hatchet. Either way, I’m going to start knocking on doors to see if I can get the GC’s that use me for fence to call me for handrail quotes as well.”

Our Customer Solutions Providers will help you understand our system and get the proper bill of materials together for constructing these types of jobs.

Here are some pictures from Andy’s job:

ADA & OSHA Handrail Design - Andy Pease

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Below are pictures of an ADA & OSHA compliant handrail built by Andy Pease in Ohio. We worked with him to design an ADA & OSHA compliant handrail for two different entrances to this new building. This is a great example of how our ADA fittings can be used to design an affordable, durable and maintainable ADA compliant solution. Look for more pictures as the project draws toward completion.
