Architectural and facade package (A-FACADE).

Metalworks & Architectural Features

APS Industrial Services delivers bespoke metalworks and architectural features that combine structural performance, precision fabrication and high-quality finishes. From feature stairs, balustrades and handrails to façade elements, screens, canopies, ceilings and custom fixtures, we provide coordinated solutions for complex commercial, healthcare, retail, education, infrastructure and public-realm projects.

Our integrated capability brings design, drafting, engineering, fabrication, coatings coordination, rigging and installation together under one team. This end-to-end approach gives builders, architects and asset owners greater control over interfaces, quality, safety and programme—from early design development through to final installation and handover.

Integrated Design, Engineering & Detailing

Architectural metalwork must satisfy design intent while remaining buildable, compliant and practical to install. APS works with architects, consultants and construction teams to resolve geometry, materials, finishes, fixings and interfaces before manufacture begins. Detailed coordination and constructability reviews reduce rework and support accurate fabrication and efficient installation.

Feature Stairs, Balustrades & Handrails

APS designs, fabricates and installs feature stairs and access structures ranging from statement internal staircases to durable external systems. Packages can incorporate structural steel, stainless steel, glass, timber, cladding, integrated lighting and specialist coatings to achieve both architectural intent and long-term performance.

Feature Stairs, Balustrades & Handrails
  • Feature and interconnecting staircases

  • Structural steel stair frames, landings and supports

  • Glass, steel and stainless-steel balustrades

  • Timber, stainless-steel and integrated LED handrails

  • Internal cladding, tread substrates and architectural finishes

  • External galvanised and powder-coated stair systems

  • Public stairs, platforms, ladders and walkways

Façades, Screens & Feature Ceilings

Our façade and screening capability combines secondary steelwork with precisely detailed architectural finishes. APS delivers façade support structures, cladding interfaces, perforated screens, glazed elements, feature portals and ceilings, with careful control of tolerances and sequencing across multiple trades.

Façades, Screens & Feature Ceilings
  • Architectural façade framing and secondary steelwork

  • Aluminium cassette, perforated panel and specialist cladding systems

  • Glazed walls, shopfront steel and glazing interfaces

  • Feature portals, pavilions, art walls and architectural screens

  • Feature ceilings, skylight structures and window pods

  • Roof access and maintenance systems integrated with façade packages

Bespoke Metalworks & Architectural Fixtures

APS manufactures one-off and repeat architectural elements in steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Our team can translate an architectural concept into a coordinated, fabrication-ready solution, managing detailed interfaces, finishes and site installation to deliver a refined final outcome.

Bespoke Metalworks & Architectural Fixtures
  • Custom planters, liners and integrated seating

  • Steel and timber tables, benches and public-realm furniture

  • Architectural bollards, barriers and custom bunds

  • Shade canopies and wind-screen structures

  • Perforated panels, feature screens and decorative metalwork

  • Stainless-steel fixtures and specialist fabricated items

  • Equipment supports, brackets and secondary steelwork

Fabrication, Finishes & Quality Control

Architectural work demands consistent workmanship and close control of visible details. APS undertakes fabrication within its Melbourne facilities and coordinates specialist finishes to suit the design, environment and service conditions. Components are prefabricated wherever practical to improve quality, reduce site exposure and support programme certainty.

Fabrication, Finishes & Quality Control
  • Mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium fabrication

  • Class One welding and specialised welding capability

  • Prototype, jig and bespoke component manufacture

  • Hot-dip galvanising, powder coating, paint and specialist finishes

  • Factory fit-up, dimensional verification and finish inspections

  • Material certification, weld records, NDT and quality documentation

Installation & Multi-Disciplinary Delivery

APS provides complete installation using experienced rigging, mechanical, welding, scaffolding and specialist access teams. By coordinating manufacture and installation within one delivery model, we manage the complete path from workshop to final position—including lifting studies, access, temporary works, protection of finished surfaces and work in live or constrained environments.

Installation & Multi-Disciplinary Delivery
  • Rigging and steel erection by experienced installation teams

  • Site welding, mechanical installation and final adjustments

  • Scaffold, rope access and specialist access integration

  • Engineered lift planning and installation sequencing

  • Protection and handling of high-finish architectural components

  • Night works and delivery within live operating facilities

  • Final inspection, defect close-out and handover documentation
