Illuminated handrailing provides both increased safety and dramatic lighting effects to interior and exterior projects. To ensure easy implementation, there must be close coordination between the construction trades, principally Division 5 (Miscellaneous Metals – the railing installer) and Division 26 (Electrical – the lighting installer).  

To ensure the fabrication of a code-compliant and easy-to-install railing, precise field measurement of the as-built condition is critical.

Variation between the finished concrete pour and the architectural drawings is always expected. Fabrication of the railing cannot begin until these differences are understood. Wagner creates initial CAD drawings of the railing from the architectural prints, followed by on-site measurements to confirm the drawing dimensions. The timely and accurate execution of this confirmation step is critical to ensuring the railing is code-compliant, installed as intended and elevates the site aesthetic when installation is complete.

Because the illuminated handrail is typically part of the lighting package, initial measurements and installation are often included in the electrical contractor’s (EC) scope of work. However, the electrical contractor may lack the tools or expertise to accurately confirm the as-built dimensions and execute the railing installation. Involving another trade, Division 5 (Miscellaneous Metals – the railing installer), to perform either of these tasks introduces coordination challenges.

Wagner Architectural can now alleviate this complication by offering site measurement and railing installation services. To ensure clarity, include the following statement in the electrical specification’s scope of work: 

 “Site measurement and installation of the railing to be separately bid and performed by the railing manufacturer or their designated partner.” 

By including this statement, you ensure the fabrication and installation of the illuminated handrail is done correctly the first time. Project delays due to checking and verifying dimensions are eliminated. There is no contradiction between the measurements and the custom system installation. The project team can be confident they are working with tradespeople fully vetted by Wagner.

These guide specifications serve as a foundation for developing job specifications and must be edited to fit specific project requirements.
