Hello everyone,
In a few days, we have the staircase selection appointment. On the stair builder’s website, there are layout proposals for the staircase. We have allocated 3.04 meters by 2.25 meters (10 feet by 7 feet) for the staircase area. You can find the house floor plan here in the forum at the following link.
Floor plan #44
The stair supplier suggests 16 steps for the space online. Here in the forum, 15 steps are mentioned. So I wanted to ask for your opinion again: 15 or 16 steps?
Maybe someone has a similar amount of space for their staircase in their house with either 15 or 16 steps.

That’s a good point.
For example, my staircase builder offers the following floor plans for landing stairs. The floor-to-floor height for these stairs is between 270cm and 280cm (106 inches and 110 inches).
Maybe the one in the middle would also be a good choice.

My goodness, don’t you understand? According to the rather poor drawing, your floor-to-ceiling height is 298 cm (118 inches). You can’t use such a standard drawing as a basis.
The building is already constructed, and the stairwell opening is there. Now your staircase supplier needs to send a specialist to accurately measure the existing infrastructure and then provide a proper staircase offer.
This is just dithering, as if a staircase could simply be "standard" in such a quick way.

And earlier you mentioned that the platform isn’t really important to you, but now you’re talking about platform stairs again. And yes, you’re definitely missing at least one step, maybe even two.
A further comment on my speculation regarding the shell contractor and accuracy: If you have to order the concrete stair from your shell contractor or general contractor, I would all the more recommend getting a wooden staircase from a stair specialist.
Is the stair specialist at least experienced working with your general contractor? In other words, does your general contractor commission them regularly? Because then they would know how to coordinate the work properly.

You can’t really use such a standard drawing as a basis.My point was just that with the second option, there is no full landing. I know our floor-to-floor height is well above 270 to 280 cm (106 to 110 inches). I see a floor-to-floor height of 292 cm (115 inches).

One more note regarding my speculation about the structural builder and accuracy: if you have to order the concrete staircase through your structural builder/general contractor, I would all the more recommend choosing a wooden staircase from a staircase specialist.
Is that specialist at least familiar with your general contractor? Meaning, does your general contractor order from them regularly? Because then the contractor will know how to handle it.As I mentioned above, my point was that there is no full landing. You took it a step further and talked about a spiral staircase completely without a landing. It will definitely be a wooden staircase. Yes, the staircase specialist is regularly contracted through my general contractor.

would you seriously be happy in the long run with a hybrid between a landing and a warped step?
I've had to come up with plenty of unusual designs myself, but I would never have thought of something like that. You never stop learning...
Luckily, you never see this in our industry.
Skip the landing and go for 16 or 17 risers in a quarter-turn staircase. In my opinion, anything else is just a botched job.
The advantage is that even with a 30cm (12 inches) tread depth, the total length stays under 3.00m (10 feet). You can still rotate and adjust the direction however you want.
Just a simple question: Where does the staircase builder get their measurements for fabrication if not from themselves?
