Floor build-up and stair rises

Flooring, adhesive, finish and levelling alter the first and last rise. Include them before construction.

Why this parameter matters

Stair geometry is a system of dependencies: changing one dimension affects riser count, run, pitch, headroom and footprint. A single number should not be judged in isolation.

How to check it in practice

1. Record all measurements in centimetres and mark whether they are structural or finished.
2. Run at least two integer riser-count options.
3. Check 2h+s, pitch, width, headroom and risers per flight.
4. Verify the result on site and in the project documentation.
