Getting the Geometry and Code Right
Rise, run, headroom, guard heights: stairwork has critical dimensions that have to meet code. Get the calculations wrong and you're looking at safety hazards and failed inspections.
Stairwork & Railing Drawings with Code-Compliant Precision
Straight runs, curved staircases, or anything in between. We capture every tread, riser, baluster, and handrail detail with building code compliance built into every dimension.
The Site Never Matches the Plans
Existing structures rarely line up with architectural drawings. Stair openings, floor-to-floor heights, and wall conditions all need field verification before you can finalize shop drawings.
Every Stair Layout Is Code-Verified
We check every layout against IBC/IRC requirements for rise, run, headroom, handrail height, and guard spacing. Our drawings include code reference annotations so inspectors can confirm compliance at a glance.
We Work from Real Field Conditions
We use your field measurements and laser scan data to make sure stair components fit the actual site. Our drawings account for out-of-plumb walls and uneven floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you draw curved or helical staircases?
Yes. Our drafters have done plenty of curved, helical, and spiral staircase drawings. We calculate radius dimensions, develop templates for curved stringers, and detail every component for fabrication, including curved handrails and shaped treads.
Do your stair drawings include code compliance details?
Every package includes IBC or IRC code annotations covering rise, run, headroom clearance, handrail graspability, guard height, and baluster spacing. We reference the code edition specified in your project documents.
How do you handle field verification for stairwork?
We always recommend verifying field measurements before finalizing stair drawings. We can work from your crew's measurements or from 3D laser scan data. Our drawings include tolerances and adjustment details for typical field conditions.
