Perth Staircase Builders: Custom Staircase Designs, Renovations & Repairs for Residential & Commercial Buildings
Perth Staircase Builders has spent over 20 years designing, renovating and repairing staircases across Perth, WA, working on everything from residential homes in Subiaco and South Perth to commercial builds in the CBD. We handle every stage of the process — from initial design, CAD (computer-aided design) drafting and 3D visual previews through to fabrication, installation, and compliance with Australian building codes — so clients never need to coordinate multiple contractors.
Perth homeowners have access to a wide range of staircase types, including floating staircases, spiral stairs, timber stringer designs, and steel or glass balustrade systems. Each option carries different structural and aesthetic considerations, and the right choice depends on your home's layout, budget, and style. Our team includes qualified joiners, structural steel fabricators, and licensed builders, each bringing trade-specific expertise — from mortise-and-tenon joinery for timber stringers to load calculations for cantilevered and mono-stringer designs.

Staircase Build & Design Options
Floating & Cantilever Staircase Designs
We specialise in high-end floating stairs with hidden structural supports for a clean, minimalist look. These require advanced engineering and precise installation using concealed steel mono-stringer systems, calculated against AS 1170 structural load standards, with laser-alignment tools used to ensure every tread sits flush and level.
Glass Staircase Balustrades & Designs
Modern glass stair systems create an open, light-filled space and are often combined with steel or timber. We use 12mm toughened safety glass, available in frameless or semi-frameless configurations, compliant with AS 1170 and NCC Volume Two standards.
Spiral & Helical Staircase Designs
Space-saving yet visually striking, spiral and curved staircases are perfect for feature areas or tight layouts, with compact spiral designs fitting footprints as small as 1.5m in diameter. Custom helical designs, drafted using full CAD modelling before fabrication, offer a premium architectural statement.
Steel & Metal Staircase Designs
Steel staircases offer strength, longevity, and a sleek industrial look, fabricated using MIG and TIG welding for precise, durable joints. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications, with powder-coated finishes providing corrosion resistance suited to Perth's climate.
Wooden & Timber Staircase Designs
Classic and versatile, wooden and timber staircases bring warmth and durability to any home, crafted using mortise-and-tenon joinery for long-lasting structural strength. We offer a range of hardwoods — including Jarrah, Blackbutt, and Spotted Gum — finished with oil, lacquer, or hardwax oil to suit traditional and modern designs.
Outdoor & External Staircase Designs
We build weather-resistant staircases designed for outdoor use, including hot-dip galvanised steel and treated timber options engineered to resist Perth's UV exposure and coastal humidity. Perfect for decks, split-level homes, and commercial access, with non-slip surface finishes specified to AS 4586 standards for safety in wet conditions.
Our Residential & Commercial Staircase Services
Custom Staircase Design & Build
We design and construct fully bespoke staircases tailored to your home's layout, style, and structural requirements, starting with 3D modelling and CAD drafting before fabrication. From concept to completion, every detail is engineered for both aesthetics and durability, with structural load calculations performed to AS 1170 standards.
Luxury Home Staircase Designs
We design and build staircases for high-end Perth homes where the staircase is a central architectural feature, not an afterthought, often incorporating structural glass and brushed stainless steel for a true statement piece. Every installation is handled by our own team, keeping disruption to your home minimal and the timeline predictable.
Apartment & Multi-Storey Staircase Designs
Multi-unit projects in Perth's growing apartment market require staircases that meet strict BCA Class 2 building standards, including fire-rated materials specified to AS 1530, while remaining practical and visually consistent across floors. We work directly with developers and project managers, using staged installation scheduling to keep builds on schedule.
Retail & Office Staircase Designs
Commercial staircases in retail centres, office buildings, and hospitality venues must balance foot traffic durability with a strong visual presence, often specified with non-slip surfaces compliant with AS 4586 and high-traffic materials like polished concrete and powder-coated steel. We've completed projects ranging from boutique Perth shopfronts to multi-level corporate office fitouts.

Our Perth Staircase Building Process
Step 1: Design Consultation and Site Assessment
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your home's layout, architecture, budget, and style preferences. Our specialists assess the space in person, taking measurements and identifying any structural considerations that may influence the design — such as wall construction type, floor loading, and ceiling height.
This is where we recommend the right staircase type for your home, whether that's a floating cantilevered design, a curved feature staircase, a compact spiral solution, or a classic timber build.
Step 2: 3D Renders and Design Approval
Once we have a clear picture of your requirements, we produce detailed 3D renders of your staircase before any fabrication begins.
You'll see exactly how your staircase will look — including dimensions, tread depth, balustrade style, and material finish — and have the opportunity to refine the design until you're completely satisfied. This step eliminates costly mid-build changes and ensures the final result matches your vision precisely.
Step 3: Precision Fabrication
With the design approved, we move into fabrication. All components — whether timber, steel, or glass — are manufactured in-house to exact specifications.
Cut tolerances, connection points, and surface finishes are rigorously checked before anything leaves our workshop. For timber staircases, this includes hand-finishing techniques that automated fabrication cannot replicate. For steel components, all welding and powder coating is completed and inspected prior to delivery.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Our specialist staircase tradespeople handle the full on-site installation. Unlike generalist carpenters, every installer on our team works exclusively in staircase construction — which means tighter joinery, better finishing, and full accountability at every stage. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your home, and all work is checked against our internal quality standards throughout the installation process.
Step 5: Final Inspection and Compliance Sign-Off
Before handover, we conduct a detailed final inspection across every element of your staircase — baluster spacing, tread nosing profiles, handrail continuity, and balustrade height — verifying compliance with AS 1657 and the National Construction Code (NCC).
All compliance documentation is prepared and managed by our team. We walk you through the completed staircase, answer any questions, and ensure you're fully satisfied before we consider the job done.
Perth Staircase Builders Reviews in WA
"They never made us feel rushed. We ended up with a timber and steel combo we're really happy with. The installation crew were great and were very respectful of the house while they worked"
Diane M, Morley
"Replaced an old timber staircase that was honestly falling apart. It was a straightforward process and the pricing was fair. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again for other jobs"
Marcus T, Scarborough
"Found this team through a mate and just felt more comfortable from the first chat. The staircase ended up being the best part of the whole reno if I'm honest. My wife wanted glass, I wanted timber, we kind of got both and it's perfect"
Pete & Jen, Subiaco
Residential & Commercial Staircases FAQs
Pricing depends on the staircase type, materials, and complexity. As a general guide, a straight timber staircase typically ranges from $4,000–$9,000, floating timber or steel designs from $10,000–$25,000, and curved or spiral staircases from $15,000–$40,000+
Glass balustrade upgrades usually add $3,000–$8,000. We provide a detailed quote after assessing your space and design requirements.
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the design and current workload.
Straightforward timber staircases can be completed faster, while custom curved, spiral, or floating designs require more extensive fabrication and structural planning. We'll give you a clear timeframe during your initial consultation.
Most staircase replacements and new installations require compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian Standards (AS 1657, AS 1170).
We manage all compliance documentation and certification on your behalf, so you don't need to navigate the paperwork yourself.
Yes. Many of our projects involve replacing an old or damaged staircase within the existing structure.
We assess your current staircase and home layout first to determine whether a straightforward replacement is possible or if additional structural work is needed.
Yes, when engineered correctly. Floating staircases use concealed steel mono-stringer or dual-stringer systems designed around your home's specific wall construction, span, and load requirements.
All our floating staircase designs comply with AS 1657 and undergo full structural engineering before installation.
A spiral staircase rotates around a central column and is ideal for homes with limited floor space, requiring as little as 1.5m in diameter.
A curved staircase follows a continuous sweeping arc and generally requires more floor area, often used as a feature staircase in larger entries or double-height spaces.
Yes. We design custom drawers, cabinetry, and built-in shelving into staircase structures during the planning stage, along with integrated LED lighting beneath treads, along stringers, or within handrail channels. These features are built in from the start rather than retrofitted.
