Process
1. Site visit and opening check. Confirm the opening diameter, headroom clearance, and floor-to-floor height for code compliance.
2. Engineering. Sealed drawing sizing the central column, tread brackets, and guard system to code.
3. Shop drawings. Tread layout, column section, guard detail, and finish schedule.
4. Fabrication. Central column, tread brackets, and guard fabricated at our Burnaby shop.
5. Finishing. Powder coat for interior; hot-dip galv + powder coat for exterior applications.
6. Installation. 1 to 2 days for a residential spiral; longer for complex commercial applications.

FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most often from Surrey homeowners, architects, and GCs on spiral stairs projects.
Surrey spiral staircase cost depends on diameter, tread material, guard type, and whether the application is a residential secondary stair or an architectural feature spiral in a South Surrey or Morgan Creek luxury custom home. Our Burnaby shop is 30 to 50 minutes from Surrey sites. <a href="/request-a-quote/">Request a quote</a> with your site dimensions and we'll follow up with project-specific pricing.
Custom spiral staircase cost in Surrey depends on diameter (residential 48", 60" versus commercial egress 60"+), tread material, guard type, whether the application is interior or exterior, and finish spec. Exterior galvanized spirals for deck and rooftop access have different cost drivers than architectural feature spirals with premium materials and guards. <a href="/request-a-quote/">Request a quote</a> with your site dimensions and application and we'll follow up with project-specific pricing.
Only in limited cases. BC Building Code allows spiral stairs as primary egress for a single occupant area and secondary stairs serving a limited number of occupants. Most residential spiral installations are secondary stairs (loft access, rooftop access, basement secondary stair) because the tread geometry doesn't meet standard egress dimensions. We confirm code compliance for your specific application during the design phase.
A 48-inch diameter spiral needs a 50 to 52 inch rough opening; a 60-inch diameter spiral needs 62 to 64 inches. Headroom requirement is 6'-4" minimum for code-compliant installations, with 6'-8" preferred. Floor-to-floor height determines tread count and rise per tread. We verify these dimensions during the initial site visit.
Yes, we can handle institutional and commercial spiral installations at these facilities as part of larger metalwork scopes. Commercial spirals must meet egress code with 60"+ diameter and steel pan treads.
Occasionally. White Rock view-lot custom homes sometimes specify feature spirals as architectural elements, typically in open-plan main floor areas where the spiral is visible from the main living zone.
8 to 12 weeks for standard residential projects. Commercial and feature spirals extend to 14 to 18 weeks.
