Custom Precast Concrete Stair Forms

Custom-designed Precast Project Details

A West Michigan company that specializes in specialty pre-cast products was looking for a new design idea for a poured, pre-cast staircase to be used in a 256-space parking garage. The company typically purchases precast stairs from specialty pre-cast shops. Universal Forest Products not only provided the customer with the custom design it needed for this one-of-a-kind job, but supplied release agent, pre-engineered truss frames, CNC-routed stair stringers and plywood.

This custom precast project is the first for which the company manufactured its own stair sets. UFP impressed the customer with design work and with service.

This is one example of how Universal Forest Products helps customers take form, pour after pour.
