For Architects & Interior Designers
Engineered for the way architects work.
From early design intent to fabrication-ready details, MCS helps architects and interior designers translate metal concepts into manufacturable architectural solutions.
Design support
What MCS can help with before you specify
None of this is chargeable consultancy. It is the conversation that makes the eventual quotation accurate.
Product selection
Which of the 188 products in the range actually suits the condition — and when the answer is a custom section instead.
Material guidance
Where SS 316 earns its cost over 304, where aluminium is the better answer, and where brass will move on you.
Finish guidance
What each finish does under the lighting you have planned, and which ones show handling marks in a high-traffic position.
Profile development
Turning a drawn section into one that can be produced — leg lengths, groove positions, returns and jointing.
Fabrication feasibility
Whether the geometry folds, whether the pattern holds together at that thickness, and what the minimum feature size is.
Drawing review
A read of your detail against what the machines can actually hold, returned with the points that need a decision.
How we work
Concept to handover, in eight steps
Concept
You share a concept, a sketch or a drawing. At this stage nothing needs to be resolved — an intent and a dimension are enough to start a conversation about whether it can be made.
Technical review
MCS reviews material, thickness, profile, bend sequence, groove positions, finish and fabrication feasibility, and comes back with what works, what does not, and what would work better.
Shop drawing / development
Manufacturing-ready details are prepared where that forms part of the agreed scope, including setting-out, jointing and fixing positions.
Sample / mock-up
Where required. Finish in particular should be signed off on physical metal — no photograph or swatch reproduces a metal finish honestly.
Fabrication
Laser cutting, V-grooving, bending, welding and finishing, in sequence, in one facility.
Quality control
Dimensions, groove, bend angles, surface, finish and packing are checked before anything leaves.
Delivery / site coordination
Depending on project scope, including packing sequence and numbering so the pieces arrive in installation order.
Handover
For projects where installation and handover form part of the MCS scope.
Technical resources
Downloads
Only file types that actually exist are listed. Where a category is empty it does not appear — MCS would rather send you the file on request than publish an empty library.
Custom development
Have a custom detail?
Send us your drawing.
PDF, DWG, DXF, JPG, PNG or a ZIP of the set. You get back a fabrication review — not just a price.
Start a project
From your drawing to the finished detail.
Send dimensions, material and finish requirement. If it can be improved for manufacture, we will tell you before you commit.
