Hello dear forum members,
since my general contractor is a bit difficult with requests outside his standard and only wants to install an open staircase here, where the steps according to his statement require walls on all sides for mounting, I first had a credit (3800 EUR) calculated if I want to award the staircase myself. We would like to omit a wall towards the front door to make the entrance area more open and have more natural light there. Hence the desire for a stringer staircase and preferably with risers, so that the space under the stairs can be used as a storage room without dirt from above. I will also first go to the sampling of the general contractor’s stair builder because he will probably be able to install other types of stairs for an extra charge. The general contractor wants to have as little to do as possible with special customer requests.
On the other hand, I have already obtained offers for alternatives. It started with the brother of a colleague’s friend who is a metal stair builder (->staircase with steel support beam, approx. 7-8 TEUR -> too expensive). I also inquired at a wooden stair builder in the neighborhood (4.5-6 TEUR).
In my I was actually only made aware of a stair manufacturer called Nergo through as a picture example. I immediately liked the picture very much and yesterday, after my partner’s blessing, I also contacted this company. Today the offer arrived. The staircase with the approx. dimensions from the architect’s floor plan otherwise exactly like in the photo is to cost just under 3700 EUR including measurement, installation, and delivery. So roughly the price I will be credited for much more material. I know from another source that good carpenter work is generally available in Poland, but on the one hand I would like to know if anyone here has experience with this company or at least carpenter/joiner services from Poland in German construction projects in general. And what your estimate would be about how much extra cost compared to an open staircase in beech execution to a stringer staircase with risers and white staining at a German stair builder could come up. The stair appointment is only in a few weeks and I am impatient...
Many thanks and best regards
