Stair and ramp dimensions are among the most common causes of inspection failures on residential builds — a fraction of an inch off on rise, run, or landing width can mean a failed sign-off. This course helps you understand and apply the core dimensional code requirements for stairs, ramps, and landings, so you can frame and build with greater consistency, confidence, and compliance.
Module Objectives:
- Module 1: Establish the scope of the course, the code-focused lens for dimensional compliance, and the core measurement categories builders need to control.
- Module 2: Teach the core stair dimensional requirements that directly affect layout and framing decisions.
- Module 3: Explain the dimensional requirements for landings and ramps and how they connect to stair design and access.
- Module 4: Reinforce practical application through common failure points, dimensional review habits, and inspection-oriented decision making.
