Platinum Structural Steel — structural steel and steel beam installation

Market

Multifamily Residential

Podium steel, transfer framing, egress stairs and rails on apartment and condo projects.

Most Greater Boston multifamily work is wood over a steel or concrete podium, with a steel transfer level, steel egress stairs and a misc. metals package that lands at the worst part of the schedule.

Platinum handles the steel portions of that stack, from podium framing through the final rail.

Typical scopes

  • Podium and transfer level steel under wood-framed housing
  • Steel columns and beams at parking and retail levels
  • Egress stair towers, landings and rails
  • Balcony framing, canopies and roof screen supports
  • Elevator and shaft steel
  • Triple-decker and small multifamily renovation steel

Project planning

Conditions we plan around

The stair package is a schedule item

Egress stairs are often used for construction access before they are finished. We install treads and temporary rail early and return for finish rail so the wood framers are not on ladders for three months.

Field-verify before stair fabrication

Shafts get built to real-world tolerances. Stairs fabricated off plan dimensions and installed into an as-built shaft is the single most common rework item in this market.

Condo conversions and existing housing stock

Triple-decker and row house conversions need beam replacement, column work and new openings inside occupied or partially occupied buildings, with municipal inspections at each stage.
