My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

how thick are the bluestone treads and edge pieces?

    If done correctly, the treadstock used for the treads and any pieces that have the over-hang should be at least 2" thick
    The infield can be of a regular stock, but the thicker stuff for the outside and treads is not only structurally better, but looks stronger as a design element too.
