Metalwork Collaboration for Architects & Designers

From concept to installation — Iron Age partners with architects and design professionals to bring creative visions to life through precision metal fabrication.


Our Role in the Design Process

At Iron Age Manufacturing, we understand the importance of design intent. That’s why our team works directly with architects and designers — providing detailed shop drawings, material recommendations, and fabrication insights that ensure every element aligns with your vision.

We support your project through every stage:

  • Design Development: Material selection, finish samples, and technical input

  • Engineering & Drawings: Shop drawings, structural detailing, and coordination

  • Fabrication & Installation: Precision craftsmanship, scheduling, and on-site support

Since 1997 — Iron Age has been a trusted partner to architects, builders, and municipalities across Vancouver.

Customization Without Limits

Whether your concept involves minimalist railings, sculptural staircases, or large-scale public installations, our fabrication team turns ideas into reality.

We work with a wide range of materials and finishes:

  • Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass

  • Powder coating, galvanizing, patina, and custom paint

  • Integration with wood, glass, or concrete
