Hello everyone, we are really getting desperate by now and haven’t fully paid the construction company yet, but they are starting to threaten us. The house is now finished.
Our staircase was supposed to be the highlight. It is made of concrete, and we had the covering installed by a well-known carpenter ourselves.
According to the construction plan, the staircase was supposed to be concrete all the way up to the upper floor. Unfortunately, the last step was “forgotten,” and now the bottom step consists of concrete, polystyrene, screed, and tiles with underfloor heating. The construction company says that this was just the concrete contractor’s usual procedure and that it is acceptable. Since we wanted to do the staircase covering ourselves, we have to ensure the finishing looks good. We absolutely cannot find any way to make this staircase finish look even remotely nice, let alone stable. The tile installer from the construction company also refused to help because he can never guarantee the finish on this kind of edge.
What should we do? We want to apply concrete-effect plaster under the steps at the bottom.

The last step to the upper floor actually matches the other steps.I doubt that. Please measure the height of the last 3 steps and the thickness of the tile covering.
