Steel,
as craft.
If you can imagine it,
we can make it.
infrastructure
We make steelwork that people stop and look at, and that passes every inspection. From a single sculptural staircase to handrails on a live public site, the same hands measure it, draw it, fabricate it, weld it and install it.
Who we work for
One workshop, three kinds of client. The same standard for all of them.
Residential
Homeowners, architects and builders who want something made properly — staircases, gates, balustrades, screens and canopies.
Commercial
Builders and contractors on retail, hospitality and office fit-outs — structural steel, awnings, stairs and custom metalwork.
Public infrastructure
Handrails, grab rails and barriers on public sites and infrastructure, delivered with the paperwork, inductions and safety these jobs demand.
What we make
Staircases & balustrades
Straight, spiral and floating stairs with matching handrails.
Gates & fences
Driveway, pedestrian and sliding gates, ready for automation.
Screens & ironwork
Security screens, feature walls and one-off decorative pieces.
Canopies & pergolas
Entry canopies, carports and pergolas built for Perth weather.
Structural steel
Beams, columns, portal frames and connections, with shop drawings.
Handrails & barriers
Compliant handrails, grab rails and safety barriers for public sites.
Shopfitting & fixtures
Custom counters, shelving and display units in steel, stainless steel and aluminium — for retail, cafés and restaurants.
Simple, from start to finish
Site measure
We come to site, measure everything and listen to what you need.
Design & shop drawings
You approve the design and detailed drawings before any steel is cut.
Fabrication
Cut, fitted, welded and finished in our own Perth workshop. Every piece is checked before it leaves.
Installation
Our own team installs, checks every connection and leaves the site clean.
Engineering precision, an artist's eye
Kreo Design is the architectural steel studio of NVC Engineering, based in East Victoria Park, WA. Founded by Tony Capoccitti, a qualified boilermaker with years of experience across residential, commercial, mining and oil & gas work, it brings steel design, detailing and fabrication under one roof.
We don't do "good enough". Every structural steel job, staircase, balustrade, canopy and handrail is built to Australian Standards and finished to a level you can see and feel: clean welds, tight tolerances, true lines and surfaces prepared properly before any coating goes on. Steel is often the first thing people touch in a building, so it has to carry the load, meet the code and look exceptional.
Every job stays in-house with the same small team from start to finish. We measure on site, build the 3D model and shop drawings, fabricate in our own workshop and install it ourselves. When a project calls for it, we walk the site with our structural engineer before a line is drawn, so the design is right from the start.
For us, quality isn't a final inspection. It is built into every step. We check every weld, every dimension and every finish ourselves before anything leaves the workshop. That is why builders, architects and public-infrastructure clients trust us with work that's on show, from a feature staircase in a family home to handrails on a busy public site.
