Today we met the construction manager on site to discuss the stairs. Unfortunately, we didn't get any wiser. The only thing we could ascertain when the construction manager showed the drawings was that the stairs were drawn this way already in the floor plan. Absolutely nothing we could have discovered if he hadn't pointed it out, and he agreed with that.
Now I'm expecting an explanation from Myresjöhus (and maybe Snickarlaget) tomorrow. Unfortunately, my feeling now is that, as several of you are saying... a mistake.

If it was indeed marked on the drawing, then it surely could have been discovered? Now, I don't know how Myresjöhus does certain things, but when I built with LB-hus, I had to approve and sign all the drawings before anything went into production. Of course, it requires knowing how to read a drawing to understand everything, but if you're going to sign something, I believe you should also know what you're signing. Now, I work in the construction industry, so I can read a drawing, which was fortunate because we found several things on the drawings that needed to be changed to suit us or that were simply incorrectly drawn.
You will probably have to wait for the follow-up... Myresjöhus cannot say anything yet, but they are having internal discussions. Everyone involved that I've talked to has questioned the solution chosen. I hope that Myresjöhus takes responsibility and makes sure to address this somehow. So far, they have been very understanding of our views.
We have a similar staircase from the carpentry team, but ours connects directly to the wall without a gap, and we don’t have double railings, only a handrail in the staircase. Out of curiosity, I looked at our drawings, and there is no visible difference between the railing on the upper floor and the handrail in the staircase; on the drawing, it looks like the same, but obviously, we have received different ones, so I think it’s doubtful if one could have detected it on the drawing, and that it is TS's responsibility. Additionally, it is quite obviously the wrong staircase ordered/delivered, and to demand that the customer should react to it among hundreds of details is a bit much.jhenrikj said:
Somewhere along the line, one must assume that the seller and the house manufacturer know which staircase is being ordered and that it fits the selected floor plan, and if it happens that they think the customer wants gaps and double railings instead of a normal solution, then they should probably ask clearly before drawing something like that. The carpentry team has probably just delivered what was ordered. Otherwise, it should be very easy to sort out with the help of the order from Myresjöhus.
Gaia: I don't know why you can't see any double railings, on my computer they are clearly visible, and as the person responsible for staircase cleaning, I just have to say it can't look like that. The railing on the stairs must be removed, and if they refuse to install a proper staircase, the hole must be covered properly, so that dust and lost items don't get stuck in the gap. We had such a gap but only 2 cm wide in our staircase, poorly covered with a lsit, and it was NOT fun to see what was behind it when we took down the staircase this summer.
I also see they haven't covered the joists yet, how do they plan to make that look nice when the railing is in place?
