The coordinated stair scope removes the old adjacent-flight conflicts together. Steps locate in keyed wood stringers and landing assemblies; decorative guards are coherent printed panels. Room-frame and bay work keeps the architectural outline and ornament while separating support-heavy three-dimensional assemblies into flat components.
How the total is accounted for
The selected replacement set includes the previously accepted flat-panel changes. It replaces 33 original jobs totalling 204.5 hours with 44 newly packed jobs totalling 97.6 hours. The remaining 115 original jobs are included unchanged. Every unaffected part sharing a changed job is carried forward. Shared-job costs are counted once.
The original complete shell was 420.7 hours. The immediately previous accepted candidate was 375.3 hours. This pass compares against 375.3, so its earlier savings are not counted again.
Assembly and appearance
- Use complete guard and frame panels; no separate dentils or individually glued balusters.
- Use the keyed stair sequence and numbered parts. Dry-fit each cassette before bonding it into the house.
- Measure the actual nominal 1/8-inch plywood and laser kerf. Slot dimensions are adjustable manufacturing intent, not a guarantee for unmeasured stock.
- Paint or finish visible wood to the specified palette. Flat decorative prints supply the relief; wood carries the structure.
- Keep the existing window positions, room access, magnetic rear panels, storage trays and original house comparison.

These are complete job costs, not savings promises. Some jobs contain multiple architectural areas; their component costs must not be added separately.
Qualification limits. The geometry and source ledger are checked digitally. Physical stock fit, adhesive bonds, strength, support removal and assembly handling still require representative test pieces before the whole house is produced. A successful slice does not establish those properties.
