How Is The Living Square Footage of a Homeplan Calculated?
Generally, square footage calculations are made from outside the exterior frame wall and do not include decks, porches, garages, basements, attics, and bonus rooms. We include two story and vaulted areas only once in the calculations of the first floor. Stairs are counted once. Balconies and open walkways in two story and vaulted areas are included in square footage. This is generally true for all of our home plans. You can always call us to verify exactly how a particular plan’s square footage was calculated.
