–Utilize economical components such as factory standard railing styles and Pre-Engineered structural members for stringers, landing frames, connections, etc.
–Fabricated using state-of-the-art manufacturing methods through specialized fixtures, simplified metal bending and press work, and Lisp programming for production of stair details.
