ErectaStep custom color powder coated rooftop stair

This custom-color, powder-coated stair installation saved a hospital $200,000 compared to traditional custom fabrication.

When a North Carolina hospital needed a safe and visually integrated rooftop stair system to manage elevation changes across its multi-tiered roof, they turned to ErectaStep for a solution that balanced functionality, aesthetics, and cost. After evaluating bids from traditional custom fabricators, the hospital opted for ErectaStep’s modular stair system, which provided substantial savings and logistical advantages.

ErectaStep's prefabricated powder coated stairs offered the hospital a cost-effective alternative, a savings of $200,000 when compared to competitive bids from custom “stick-built” fabricators. The modular design not only met the hospital’s functional needs but also allowed for rapid installation. The entire 28-foot-tall stair system, complete with a crossover at the top to bridge the building’s parapet, was installed in just two days, minimizing disruption and ensuring the project stayed on schedule.

In addition to its practical benefits, the stair system was powder-coated to match the hospital’s exterior, ensuring it blended seamlessly with the building’s design. This attention to detail preserved the hospital's aesthetic integrity while providing a durable, long-lasting access solution.

This project is a great example of ErectaStep’s ability to deliver high-quality, OSHA-compliant stair systems that are both cost-effective and tailored to specific project requirements. The hospital’s decision to choose ErectaStep highlights the advantages of modular solutions in achieving rapid, efficient, and visually appealing installations.
