For code requirements the minimum staircase width is the horizontal dimension between the sidewalls of a staircase measured above the handrail s.
Stair riser heights and stair tread depths should be within the parameters of the code to avoid any potential trip hazards for inconsistencies.
All risers and all goings in the same flight of stairs shall be of uniform dimensions within a tolerance of 5 mm.
Building codes generally suggest that the maximum height of a riser be 7 75 inches 19 7 cm nosing.
