If you manage an office building, you know the drill: keep people moving, keep entrances open, and never miss a code requirement. Prefabricated aluminum ramps for office buildings make that a lot easier. Each one arrives as a clean, modular kit that goes together fast, and looks like they were always part of the plan. That’s the kind of low-drama upgrade property owners love and it’s exactly what REDD Team builds and delivers.
Why Aluminum Wins in the Office World
Office entrances work hard. They withstand rain, snow, coffee spills, delivery carts, rolling luggage, and more. When it comes to building materials, aluminum doesn’t flinch. It won’t rust. It doesn’t need repainting every season. It’s strong yet light, which means installers can set it quickly, and your lobby or plaza isn’t a construction zone for days. Pair that with slip-resistant, self-draining surfaces, and you get predictable footing even in wet weather without the constant mop-and-cone routine that you see in front of so many office buildings.
A Ramp That Matches the Building
Every office property is a little different.
Here are a few examples:
- You’ve got a tight vestibule with revolving doors.
- Your main entry has a gentle grade change that trips up carts.
- The accessible route needs to jog around a planter or turn a corner near the security desk.
Modular aluminum solves office building problems for the real world: we build with standardized platforms, runs, and rails that configure to your footprint, door swings, and flow of people. If a tenant build-out shifts the route later, no problem, because the same kit can be reset to the new layout with ease.
Smooth for People, Smart for Operations
The biggest complaint with ramps is rarely the ramp; it’s the last inch.
- That bump at the door.
- The puddle at the landing.
- Turnstile interrupted by an out-of-place handrail.
REDD Team designs around those moments with the following:
- Threshold plates that help to smooth out the transition at doors.
- Landings are properly sized for maneuvering.
- Surfaces that shed water, so you’re not fighting ice or slick spots.
- Handrails that are continuous/uninterrupted and easy to grasp.
- Clear widths where they need to be so deliveries, wheelchairs, and strollers all move through without awkward turns or pivots.
Fits the Schedule You Actually Have
We know that busy office buildings don’t close for construction. That’s why prefabrication is ideal. Our kits are bolt-together, with no time-consuming field welding required. We know that most work happens after hours, over a weekend, or in a short daytime window, so you’ll need installation completed fast and efficiently. Our hardware is standardized with clear instructions and repeatable results.
Lobby, Plaza, Loading… It All Counts
An accessible route is more than the front door. Think about the places people really use a ramp:
- Main Lobby: Blend a ramp into the entry sequence without crowding security lines or revolving doors.
- Side or Tenant Entrances: Keep alternate routes open during build-outs and still meet accessibility requirements.
- Amenity Spaces and Courtyards: Create smooth connections between exterior plazas, cafés, and ground-floor amenities.
- Loading and service paths: Help carts, equipment, and back-of-house teams move safely without improvising plywood bridges.
Where you need stairs, we can match finishes and details so the whole access package looks intentional, such as a ramp, stairs, and platform.
Compliance Without the Guesswork
Ramps that serve the public must meet the familiar geometry most jurisdictions reference:
- A gentle running slope
- Subtle cross-slope
- Level landings at the top and bottom
- Handrails on both sides when the rise calls for it
- Edge protection where there’s a drop.
REDD Team ensures all of those requirements are met in the layout so approvals and inspections are straightforward. If your local code asks for wider clear widths or special landing dimensions, we configure it to that from the start.
Designed for Bad Weather
Outdoor landings are failure points if you don’t plan for them. Our platforms, walkways, and connections are designed to move water off the walking surface and away from grade breaks.
The decking profile is slip-resistant and self-draining, which helps in a thunderstorm and after the snow crew salts the sidewalk. Day to day, that means fewer cones and caution signs at your office’s entrance, and creates a better first impression at the door.
Portable Today, Permanent Tomorrow
On occasion, an office needs to change. A temporary detour during lobby renovations becomes a permanent entrance. A swing door becomes an automatic slider.
With prefabricated aluminum, you’re never stuck with one design or placement. Components are reusable and reconfigurable, so you can relocate a run, add a platform, or change the handrail strategy without starting from scratch. That gives you real budget protection over the life of a building.
Quick Project Checklist
- Where’s the route? Map the full path from sidewalk or parking to lobby turnstiles and tenant floors.
- How do the doors swing? Size landings and choose thresholds that keep doors operating freely.
- Who’s using it? Plan for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, strollers, and carts—not just one user type.
- What’s the maintenance plan? Choose slip-resistant, self-draining surfaces; decide how snow/ice will be cleared.
- Any phasing? If construction is coming, pick a kit that can be relocated and reassembled later.
