Hello,
I am building a single-family house with a general contractor.
After the screed was laid, it was noticed that the staircase is offset by 10cm (4 inches). That means it starts 10cm too early.
According to the plan, there should be 1.05m (41 inches) of space in front of the stairs, but currently, there are only 94cm (37 inches).
As a result, the last step at the top is 10cm (4 inches) lower than planned (according to the plan, the last step was not supposed to be a full step).
The staircase is a straight two-stringer staircase. Since the house has a basement, the staircase cannot simply be shortened because it would otherwise be unsupported.
Are there any options to reduce the stairwell opening? The floor (or basement ceiling) is made of 18cm (7 inches) concrete (prefabricated concrete slab).
Even during planning, the 1.05m (41 inches) space in front of the stairs felt a bit tight; I would be glad to have at least 1 meter (39 inches) here.
Thank you,
morgenstern

There it was realized that there are different options for installing the staircase.
Today, the staircase contractor contacted me and tried to persuade me to keep the staircase as is, saying it is basically too late to make changes.
Basically…
A solution is taking shape, and as it currently looks, we will get the planned version.

morgenstern13 Jan 2022 19:14The staircase will be dismantled but will remain hanging on the pulley system.
At the top, the staircase will be shortened; at the bottom, it will be fitted with a board and reattached.
The wall fixtures will, of course, need to be redone as well.
Effort required: 2 people for a full day.
Then, the area will need to be plastered and the holes in the screed filled.
The heating pipes of the underfloor heating are not in the way.
