They'd need to have the masonry labor active and stone mined to build a stairway, unless you're making it of wood, then they'd need carpentry active.

Are you (b), (C), (u/d/x) building stairs or are you designating them?

Do you have miners with picks who can access the location?

if you are trying to build stairs where you have already dug out the stone, you need to construct it instead of designating it.

there are certain rooms that should not have lava moats. Namely danger room, and daycare rooms.

Assuming you have ordered for the stairs to be built, what material did you choose for the construction?
Wood - a carpenter has to do it.
Stone - a mason.
Metal bars - A blacksmith, I think.  Or possibly a metalsmith.

Also be sure to use 'q' to check on the progress of the building.  Does it require an architects attention first?  Has it been suspended for some reason?
