Until recently, I had no idea this was possible, but since I learned that wooden treads can be installed on a concrete staircase, I have become quite interested in this idea.
Specifically, it is about a concrete staircase with 14 steps, quarter-turn.
We definitely cannot do this ourselves.
What cost range would you estimate for this?

We basically have the same staircase as Otus, but it is fully enclosed within walls.
Since the carpenter quoted unrealistically high prices, we decided to install the treads ourselves in a folded-structure style.
For those interested:
You work from the bottom up, attaching an inverted "L" shape made of laminated wood connectors to three thick Spax screws (two at the front of the tread, one centered at the back). This setup allows you to adjust the step directly using a spirit level. Once the step fits perfectly, we spray foam it with frame foam to prevent any hollow sounds or movement on the screws. Then you continue with the next inverted "L"."
Finally, the staircase is lightly sanded and oiled.
Materials: Either order from a carpenter or, like we did, use walnut worktops from a hardware store with a cutting service for treads and risers. At home, the lamella holders were routed out.
Altogether, including foam, screws, and wood, the entire installation cost 589 EUR (worktops were on sale).
I can provide pictures if needed.

Here is a brief update on our ground floor and first floor What is underneath the staircase?

Since the carpenter’s prices were unrealistically high, we decided to install the covering ourselves in a folding pattern.
For those interested:
You work from the bottom upwards, placing an inverted “L” made of slat connectors glued together onto three thick Spax screws (two screws at the front of the tread, one centered at the back). This setup allows you to level the step directly using a spirit level. Once the step fits, we sprayed expanding foam around the frame to prevent any hollow sounds or movement on the screws. Then we continued with the next inverted “L.”
Finally, the staircase was lightly sanded and treated with some oil.
Materials: Either ordered from a carpenter or, like us, purchased walnut worktops on sale at OBI, using their cutting service for treads and risers. At home, we milled the slat holders.
Altogether, including foam, screws, and wood, the entire covering cost 589 EUR (worktops were purchased on sale).
I can provide pictures if requested.Are there any pictures of the finished staircase? What thickness did you use for the covering?
