Stair: Printable Job-Sheet Workflow
The stair job sheet preserves the measured inputs, riser count = ceiling(total rise ÷ target riser), then actual riser = total rise ÷ count, the unrounded result, the issued field value, and the source checked at the time of release. A project identifier, author, review date, and revision state prevent an older calculation from remaining in use after conditions change.

A complete stair plan coordinates circulation through the building rather than the cutting of one structural member. Floor finishes, number of flights, landing position, headroom envelope, clear width, walking line, nosings, guards, handrails, doors, approach space, and changes in direction all interact with the chosen riser count and tread arrangement. The review follows people from one finished level to the next, checks every transition and landing, and records which project rule applies to the occupancy and stair type. Stringer fabrication is only one later part of this broader geometric and safety coordination.
The issued sheet carries a project identifier, author, date, revision mark, input list, formula, unrounded result, practical issued value, and checked source. Superseded copies are removed from the work area, and any field change that alters an input creates a new calculation rather than a handwritten change to the final number.
- Attach the printable reference at /charts/stair-rise-run-code to the calculation record.
- Show inputs with units, formula, unrounded result, issued result, and source.
- Remove superseded sheets from the work area when a revision is released.
For this tool, the calculation method is riser count = ceiling(total rise ÷ target riser), then actual riser = total rise ÷ count. The consolidated page keeps this topic beside the worked method, material checks, source boundary, and printable record.
