Key points
- Rise + Run ≈ 17–18 inches for comfortable residential stairs.
- Landings recommended every 12–14 steps.
Formula & how it works
Steps = floor height ÷ preferred rise (rounded to whole number).
Actual rise = floor height ÷ steps.
Worked example
- 10 ft floor-to-floor, 6.5" rise → 18 steps of ≈ 6.67", flight ≈ 14 ft.
Expert tips & mistakes to avoid
- Always add a 5–7% wastage buffer — mid-slab shortages cost more than the buffer bags.
- For engineered members (RCC columns/beams), follow the structural drawing over any calculator.
- Order cement in tranches — bags older than 90 days lose strength.
- Confirm the current market rate on WhatsApp before finalising the budget — prices printed here are indicative only.
