A roof edge capping assembly for directing water to a roof of a building includes a housing that defines an interior space. The housing comprises steel so that the housing is rigid. The housing has a top, a bottom, opposing ends, a first side, and a second side. The bottom is configured to couple to an upper end of a wall, such as an exterior concrete wall of a building. The first side and the second side are positioned proximate to an outer face and an inner face of the wall, respectively. The first side is dimensionally taller than the second side. The top extends downwardly from the first side to the second side. The top is configured to direct water that contacts the top to a roof of the building and to prevent the water from penetrating the upper end the wall.
