Every staircase is different, so there's actually no such thing as an off the shelf plan. Staircases are basically laid out so that the going, width, etc. meets the building regs. You can get the method of working by referring to either Peter Brett's C&G texts "Carpentry and Joinery" (Nelson Thornes) or Brian Porter's C&G texts "Carpentry and Joinery" (Butterworth Heineman - stairs are dealt with in vol.3 which has a full chapter on the subject). Take a look at the relevant sections in either of these series of books and decide for yourself, but making a straight flight of stairs is normally and end of year 2 C&G project. I'd say that taking on a staircase with a wind might well be a bit awkward unless you have relevant joinery experience, and especially as there is a real need to assemble the staircase on a smooth, level concrete floor before dismantling it and reassembling it in it's final position, i.e. it cannot just be built in situ.
