Staircase From marking to Finishing
Staircase is an important structural part in construction. It allows user to go further floors. Staircase must be constructed in proper way. Otherwise, User can not feel comfortable in using other further floors.
I mean that staircase have certain limitation. What are they?
- Each flight having Steps not more than 12 nos
- Riser should not more than 7'' and not less than 5''
- Tread must be not less than 9''.
- Height of the handrail must be exactly 2'6''.
- What ever may the number of flight and length of flight, but each flight must have a landing after 12 steps
- width of staircase must be at least 3'0'' for residence and 4'0'' for public.
Here I have given a example of finished staircase.

The above staircase satisfies the above said limits or rules.
- 1st flight having 12 steps.
- Height of the Riser is 7''
- Tread width is 11'' and 12'' including nosing.
- Height of the handrail is 2'6''.
- You can notice that there is landing after 12 steps.
- Width of the staircase is 3'0''.
How to achieve the correct and perfect staircase?
I have here explained step by step procedure from marking to finishing a staircase. You just follow them. Then you can make perfect staircase.
Planning a Staircase in Drawing:
Before starting a construction, You should plan in drawing that where a staircase should be located? How many Number of Riser and Tread?
Very important point What is the Roof height (Height from Ground floor finish level to First floor finish level). Number riser can be arrived by dividing the Roof height by Height of the Riser. Suppose If your Your Roof height is 10'6'' ( Ceiling 10'1'' + roof thickness 5'') and Riser height is 7''. Then You can get number steps are 18 ( 10'6''/7'' = 18 nos). You should adjust the ceiling height for Rounded number of riser ( No fractional number for steps number). suppose if you have roof height as 10'0'' and riser height as 7''. You will get ( 10'0''/7''= 17.14 nos). This value is a fractional. So you should adjust your roofing height to get round numbers. Got it?

Marking a staircase:
After reaching ground floor roof level before placing roof slab. Marking of staircase in concerned wall. In our case, we can take west wall for 1st flight and North wall for 2nd flight.We can understand how to mark the staircase by following the diagram. Mark the vertical lines for required Tread width interval( 11 inch) by using plump. Mark the horizontal lines for 7'' interval.
