Minimum height in the stairway isn't part of the specification. The house being structurally sound so it doesn't collapse / otherwise cause a safety hazard in the building is.
Not sure if there's a type of architect that has to think about the wholistic picture including function, usability and general ergonomics. They probably cost more too.

Architects don't deal with structural soundness; that's a misconception. That's the domain of the structural engineer. The architect IS the generalist.
