Hello everyone,
Shortly before the final inspection of our new build, it was discovered that the lowest stair step leading to the basement does not meet the standards. Replacing the entire staircase is an option, but it is not really in our interest since the move-in is already scheduled and the replacement would also be quite complex.
We could also live with it, as it concerns only the last step to the basement, which is too low (not too deep) – meaning the step comes sooner than expected when going down.
In your opinion, what would be a reasonable price reduction in $ (or your local currency) for this defect?
It has already been confirmed by the general contractor that this is a construction defect.
Best regards,
Oliver

The problem actually arose because the floor structure in the basement is about 4cm (1.5 inches) too high.That sounds like a miscalculation of the story height, probably in the basement before the screed, measured from the top edge of the structural slab.
