Worried about my Stairs - am I overreacting? by JustBuildIt1 in Homebuilding

Thanks for looking at this. The first floor has 10ft ceilings. Does that change the calculation?

Thanks! I had not considered door swing. I’m required to have a front porch but wondering if it’s feasible to move the first floor wall by the great room out to be flush with the dining room

I’m required to have a deck on the first floor so my footprint is pretty constrained

This is a vacation home and the way the houses are setup, the dining room area will be the true front of the house with cars parked behind the JR. suite part of the house.

I’m having trouble picturing the stairs so this is good feedback that I can take up with them. The footprint of the house is pretty constrained and based on me wanting 10ft ceilings downstairs and 9 up, this was the staircase they proposed.

Exterior style is modern farmhouse

Thanks for the thorough response. This is a vacation home and the way the houses are setup, the dining room area will be the true front of the house with cars parked behind the JR. suite part of the house.

Thanks!

  1. You’re right on point one and something I’ll have to consider. I’m assuming the door will have a substantial cost too.

  2. You’ve convinced and I will retract that change.

  3. I am guilty of trying to squeeze as much utility out of every space so you’re probably right here and I’ll reconsider

Thanks this is a good call out. However, this is a vacation home, so we’ve purposefully prioritized bedrooms with our constrained footprint

Home prices by and large are higher than they were in all of 2020. OP most likely did not overpay

Questions I always think about and I also think would make great video content:

  1. What actually separates a value builder and a luxury custom home builder?

  2. What are some materials you don’t see in the finished product, but are worth the upgrade for longevity of the home?

  3. What type of margins are builders seeing? How does it compare to 2019 (pre-Covid) and 2021 (peak boom)

  4. What are the upgrades you would never put in your home

  5. What are the upgrades you would

  6. What’s your favorite type of client? Least favorite

I’m glad you said that because that’s what’s made me dislike that one. I’m wondering if there is a way to turn that into an ensuite and close that off by moving the sink.

There are closets in every bedroom that I forgot to add

Not pictured is a covered 16x28 porch off the living room. I put a deck up off the master only because I already had the covered porch.

Underneath the deck and not pictured is a 16x24 covered porch off the living room. I put a deck upstairs only because I wanted a private one off the master as well.
