Step Height

Bottom step is 1" taller than the rest. Builder say's carpet and pad on first tread makes up the diff, and measuring from floor to top of tread (not top of carpet) is how you should measure/judge. Carpet and pad do not, at all, compress-down anywhere near 1". I flagged this as being a riser height difference of +3/8" and posing a trip/stumble/fall hazard. Thoughts?
