Another "Budget Project"
I'm now planning for an oak staircase in my building in Gotland. I plan to purchase oak steps from the USA. Also, some materials for the railings. The stringers should be "open" since the staircase is in the middle of the living room with a wall on only one short end. I plan to make the stringers from laminated wood, 60 x 360 mm.
A rough spec:
Height 270 cm (floor to floor)
Width 98 cm + an additional 6 cm on each side outside the stringers
Nine straight steps + three steps that turn the staircase 90 degrees + one final step
Budget:
• Stringers made of 2 laminated beams 60 x 360 x 4000. A total of 1990 SEK at ByggMax
• Nine oak steps, $58 each
• Three oak steps that turn the staircase 90 degrees, $300
• One straight step, $46
• 50 forged metal rods for railing, $450
Total approximately 11,000 SEK
Additional: Shipping, oak for the railing, risers which will be painted white, and some regular lumber to hold the staircase in the air and panels to enclose it underneath. Additionally, I plan to get help from someone with a good saw to cut the stringers with good precision.
It would be possible to also buy railings from the USA, but I think the shipping costs would increase with a larger package.
The items are available at fixed prices on e-commerce sites online, but I want custom measurements for the steps, so I have sent a request for a quote via email.
Pitfalls and opinions?

An experienced interior carpenter is required to be able to design a staircase. It is so advanced that nowadays, stair designs in 1:1 scale are often purchased because it is faster. Creating a straight staircase with three steps to turn the stairs 90 degrees makes the walking line less than optimal. It won't be comfortable to walk in such a staircase. A "real" L-shaped staircase doesn't look like that. Isn't glulam made of spruce? Pine is usually used, and 60 mm thickness is not necessary; 40 mm is sufficient. What will you use to rout the steps? Consider this before starting the project...
Thank you for the feedback!
It should be added that the steps should rest on top of the vangstyckena, so no milling. The reason I choose 60 mm thick vangstycken is that I want 360 mm wide glulam beams. The staircase will be in a large holiday home with two bedrooms upstairs. I agree that a 90-degree turn with only three steps is not ideal.
