• The chosen construction material, e.g. timber, concrete or steel.
• The building type, e.g. public or private building.
• If the ramp needs to be signed off by building control.
• Measurements, including the gradient and threshold height.

At Rapid Ramp, we design a ramp based on measurements and photos provided either by our site surveyor or the customer. Click for the required measurements and photos for a ramp quotation.  

Alternatively, we will often create a ramp design from architectural drawings and specifications. 

We always recommend adhereing to Part M and K of Building Regulations when designing a ramp. If you know the ramp will need to be approved by building control it is critical to follow standards set by the Buildings Regulations and British Standards Click here for information on the building regulations. 

If the ramp is for public use, the platform width can be adjusted to accommodate the increased levels of footfall.

Quotations can be returned within 24hrs if there is clear information given, including project address, drawings, photos and contact details.

What software is used to create the ramp designs? 

We use the latest CAD software to produce our 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings.

These are produced in-house by our designer, who virtually constructs sites and structures in the programme to help contextualise projects. 

Each formal quotation includes a technical and 3D drawing. 

Additionally, the 3D modelling process can give architects and engineers an accurate picture of how they can change their designs if needed. It is much easier to alter a project in the design stage than after work is completed.

What material is a Rapid Ramp made from?

Our ramp is made from galvanised steel components that are bolted together. These components come in various sizes, lengths and widths to suit different areas and applications. Plus, platforms can be used in both straight-through and turning configurations. 

Due to this increased level of flexibility, a ramp drawing can be re-designed in numerous variations with different platform widths, legs, and safety features such as infill handrails, GRP platforms and underside mesh.
