Steel Balconies and Railings

We were brought in to fabricate and install both balcony structures and the railings on this multi-family residential building. The client wanted something that felt intentional and tied into the exterior, not just a standard railing slapped on the side of the building. We went with a vertical bar design in a dark powder coat finish that picked up on the trim color already running across the facade, so when you look at the building it all reads as one thought-out design rather than an afterthought.

Both levels were done at the same time which let us keep the work consistent and efficient. The balcony platforms themselves were steel framed and the railings were fabricated in our shop before coming to site for installation. Getting the dimensions right before you show up is half the battle on a job like this because you're working off an existing structure and there's no room to be off.

From a structural standpoint balconies on a multi-family building carry a lot of responsibility. Residents are out there year round, weather is always working against the material, and the connections to the building have to be solid for the long haul. We take that seriously on every job but especially on residential work where people are living with what you built. This one came out exactly how it should.
