Hi Michel,
So it seems that the stair file service might get me part way there. Just some more work needed in a CAD to get the rest of the way.
Right?
Thanks

Hi Donald,
A stairfile service cost 95 GBP. This is around 113 usd. The setup is that you draw the stair on our software the way you like it to be. We can assist you while you are drawing your stair if you have any questions or difficulties. Once your stair drawing is ready we do a detailed revision of your stair design so that the build is ensured in the best way. After this you get from us all the documents and files needed.
With these files you can start drawing your horizontal laminates to create your stringer. Also, if you have questions we can assist you. The only thing is if you do not want to do it yourself then we can do it for you completely and this is coming with a cost of the time spend.
So the cost can be 95 GBP for the project unless you request us to do the laminates for you there will be an extra charge.
regards
Michel
Hi Ness,
Well I would sure love to make stairs for customers but at a price of 450 pounds for 4 hours of your service and a quote of 4 to 8 hours it appears it would cost me $500 to $1000 for for me to get to a cutting list for my horizontal laminate stringer. Sorry but I pay that much for plans here in the USA for a small house project. Unless you have some direction on how I can rework a stair file for making just this stringer and treads then I see no way I can use your service because it is too expensive.
Sincerely,
Don Gee

Hi Donald,
A Stair File service will give you the plans from a StairDesigner project but the set up of the stair and the drafting of the horizontal laminates is not included in the service.
The drafting of the laminate shapes requires taking the StairDesigner DXF and reworking the string plans and developments in CAD.
This takes a bit of time and we will have to charge you the time spent. This also varies from project to project but can usually fit in to 4 or maximum 8 hours of work.
To buy this extra service I suggest you buy a 4 hours support pack to complement the StairFile.
Support packs are available here:

All the best,

Hi Ness,
I understand that with the stair file service I can get what I need to make my “single stringer horizontal laminate” project. I have looked at all the links I can find about doing this and it doesn’t seem like it will be too difficult with normal tools. Will the plans and dxf file be sufficient to make the kind of stringer I need? Do you need anything more than the following basics?
Total Height of the Stair: 104″
Area of the Stair: 76″ x 76″ ( in an enclosed area where enter stair through a doorway)
Number of Stringers: One
Length of each Treads: 36″ ( note: each tread can die into the outside wall )
Reference image below
I’m going to check with Ness about ordering stair file service for my project

Hi Donald,
your last post is missing something I guess. What Ness said is correct. We can assist you in the use of stairdesigner if you encounter issues you have no answer on but you will need the plans and dxf file to start drawing the horizontal laminate cutstring and build the stair. For this you will need to buy the stairfile service. Also a detailed revision of your stair will be done by us to ensure the best possible build
After this you can start drawing and defining the horizontal laminates for your stringer using our free cad draftsight or any other cad program if you already have one.
you can use all video examples and tutorials to start the horizontal laminates. If you prefer us to do it for you then there is an extra cost as this is not included in the stairfile service
regards
Michel
