Under-Stair Framing Cost

Construction Item Description

Estimating unit cost for the framing in the triangle under a stairway.

Unit Size

One stairway.

Labor Costs

We figure about 1 1/2 hours of carpenter time to frame the triangle. This cost is for one side of the stairway-- double it if you need to frame under both sides of a stairway in the middle of an open space.

Material Costs

We figure about 40 lineal feet of 2x4 lumber to frame the space under the stairway.

Suggested Quantity

Goldenseal suggests the number of stairways (calculated from the story count).

Source of Construction Pricing

The price is based on job costing data from a couple of projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.

Places Included

Architect Starter File, Construction Starter File, Framing Starter File
