Please help with square footage per floor
Hi there, close to sealing the deal on a new home and the floor/builder plans were provided. I tried calculating square footage per floor (rough estimate) and just by comparing my results to the advertised (and confirmed by the city) square footage, I came short by a lot.
Now I know advertised sqft is only for above grade and only includes heated, livable areas and that it’s meant to count from the outside walls, so wasn’t expecting an accurate result but a difference of several hundreds of sqft makes me think I’m making some kind of major mistake.
If someone has free time and feels like taking a look at these floor plans, could you share your estimates per floor (basement/main/second)? Maybe that can help me figure out what I’m missing. I have additional section and foundation plans but assuming these won’t be helpful in this case.
Also, any other feedback and ideas based on the plans would be appreciated!
