ᐅ Tiling on the upper floor of a new build – no staircase available

Hello,
We would like to have tiles (45x90 cm [18x35 inches]) installed in the bathroom (13 m² [140 ft²]) on the upper floor of our single-family house, where the screed is already in place. The tiler says he needs a staircase to do this, which we do not have yet. The windows are already installed, and we could at best manage a ladder to get from the ground floor to the upper floor. However, I imagine carrying the tile packages up using a ladder would be quite exhausting.
Has anyone faced this issue before or does anyone have helpful tips on how to get the heavy tiles upstairs under these circumstances?
(Waiting until the staircase is installed is not an option.)
Thank you in advance!

hampshire14 Nov 2020 16:51Is tile transport the responsibility of the tiler, or is it about ensuring BG-compliant safety for their employees? The first can be handled as a DIY task (see suggestions), but the latter cannot. For safety, only a fall-protected access, such as scaffolding or stairs, will help.

Maybe this question is a bit basic, but what is the best way to lift heavy tile packages using a ladder?Have you never seen roofers? They use lifts that look like ladders without a basket and a fire truck.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Carrying them yourself...
All floor coverings: properly assemble the staircase (have it done).
