Professional MMCD Spec Railing Installation in Maple Ridge
The Project: MMCD Spec Railings in Maple Ridge
Located in Maple Ridge, this commercial property required railings that met strict MMCD (Master Municipal Construction Documents) specifications. These aren’t your standard residential railings—MMCD spec railings must comply with:
- Provincial building codes
- Commercial safety standards
- Load-bearing requirements
- Precise dimensional specifications
- Approved materials and finishes
LS Fence and Metalwork, based in Abbotsford, was selected for this project due to our proven track record with commercial railing installations throughout the Lower Mainland.

Spacing Requirements: Baluster spacing must prevent a 4-inch sphere from passing through (100mm maximum).

Why MMCD Matters
