How to measure the house

I believe everyone wants to know whether their houses are the same size as those written in the contract and whether the developers have cheated themselves. Owners will want to bring their own tape measure and other tools to measure the area of the house before they can rest assured. Today, I would like to talk to you briefly about how to measure the housing area.

How to measure the housing area

1. First of all, we must get the detailed residential floor plan. According to the detailed residential floor plan measurement, including the axial dimension of each room, the total size of the external wall and the usable area of the room, the area can usually be calculated for standard floors, but it is difficult for characteristic floors;

2. Direct measurement: subtract the dimensions of the wall thickness and plastering thickness from the dimensions of the room axis. The axis is located in the middle of the wall, with half a wall thickness on each side. The plastering with white plaster is generally 2~3cm, and the measuring position should be 1~1.2m from the ground. What is measured is the building area of the house, not the non-use area.

the scope of calculating the total construction area

1. For single-storey houses with permanent structure, the construction area is calculated by one floor. Multi-storey houses are calculated according to the total construction area of each floor.

2. The building area is calculated for the mezzanine, interlayer, elevator room and other parts with the height above 2.2m.

3. The corridor of the house, the foyer and hall in the house are all calculated as one floor. The floor height is more than 2.2m (the corridor part in the lobby and hall), which is calculated according to its horizontal projection area.

4. The area of stairwells, pipes, elevators, lifting wells, garbage lanes, etc. is calculated according to the natural floor of the house.

5. On the ceiling of the house, it is a permanent building, and the stairwell, water tank room, elevator machine room and sloping roof with a height of more than 2.2m are calculated according to the horizontal projection area of the periphery.

Editor's summary: The above is about how to measure the house area. After reading the article, you should have a deeper understanding of measuring the house. There are many kinds of housing areas, such as interior area, building area, etc., and special attention should be paid to these problems.
