Wehdone oga spyder880, I am just curious.. I have seen some building projects where the stairs were casted first before the decking and I have seen projects also where it's vice versa.

Which of the 2 options is recommended?

Where it is possible because of the design and the cost, doing the stairs last is better. This is because the stairs will have more time to cure and get ready for use, as against the system of casting stairs first. There may not be enough time left for concrete curing before the stairs will go into heavy use.

Completing the decking cast of the basement flat, moving to cast the DPC of the other side now.............

Buying more materials for the next stages..............

That's what my thoughts were but wanted to confirm from experts..
Thanks for the enlightenment.
