STRAIGHT STAIR · GEOMETRY PLANNER

Check your proposed stair layout

Enter the finished rise, your riser count and the going. Review what the geometry says, then bring the unresolved authority and structural questions to the right professional.

Geometry only · No code approval or material takeoff

YOUR PROPOSED LAYOUT

Geometry first, authority questions separate

The results describe the endpoints shown below. They do not specify a buildable stair or a structural member.

STEP 1 · MEASURE

Finished floor-to-floor rise

Measure vertically from the lower finished floor to the upper finished floor or landing. Do not use rough framing height.

STEP 2 · PROPOSE A LAYOUT

Check my proposed layout

You choose the riser count and the horizontal going. PlanHousin does not choose a code or recommend a design.

If your layout uses a flush top tread, separate top platform, winders, a turn or unequal rises, this configuration is outside this planner’s scope.

Compare with my measured available run (optional)

Landing space is excluded. This comparison does not approve a stair.

STEP 3 · OPTIONAL AUTHORITY INPUT

Compare only provided constraints

No universal limits are preloaded. Enter one identified source and the particular limits you want compared. This is not a code-compliance or structural check.

Source-supplied limits

Geometry and questions to resolve
