Staircase Layouts
Stairs come in 3 common layouts when it comes to stairs, which include the following:
• Straight: A common and economical design.
• Turned: This splits splits the flight of stairs in two and joins them with a landing, a perfect option to make an impact.
• Spiral: Great for saving space and fitting in areas where a traditional staircase won’t fit.

Standards For Stairs
Looking after standards and making sure they are up to code, may seem like the job for a certifier or engineer, but having a little extra knowledge or access to resources can really help as a smaller builder. Below are three main Australian standards which outline requirements for the design, construction and installation of stairways:
• AS 1428.1: Design For Access and Mobility, General Requirements for Access – New Buildings
• AS 1657: Fixed Platforms, Walkways, Stairways and Ladders – Design, Construction, Installation
• AS/NZ 4586: Slip Resistance Classification of New Pedestrian Surface Materials
