What details should designers pay attention to when measuring houses?

Measuring the room is one of the essential steps in interior design, and it is the first step. There is no interior design without measuring the house. Designers had better measure the house by themselves, and then take photos of key places. This will prepare for the subsequent plane layout and three-dimensional renderings.

The author has been engaged in interior design for more than 2 years. At first, I stumbled and stumbled, and there were always some unsatisfactory places, missing some key dimensions, and sometimes even the original floor plan was pieced together. I want to send this document to my friends who want to do interior design or just enter the business. I hope you can inspire me.

After sketching the apartment and recording the frame size.

Record the location of embedded pipelines, including embedded water supply and drainage pipelines, embedded natural gas pipelines, embedded household wires and embedded heating pipelines. Clearly indicate the length, width, height, size and location.

Pay attention to the width and height of doors and windows.

Pay attention to the size of the balcony guardrail, and get to know the landlord, and the guardrail in those positions can be removed. Some developers have a gift area (as shown in Figure 2 below, the balcony can be expanded). Leave room for the outdoor air conditioner on the balcony. Also pay attention to the location of the balcony floor drain. Friends who need to put the washing machine on the balcony should especially consider this.

Record the position and size of the light beam. It provides a basis for the follow-up design.

Recording the height, width and nonstandard dimensions of the door needs to be clearly marked through the basic treatment of the door cover.

Record the sink height of the toilet. If squatting pan is needed, the reserved depth should be at least 350 mm, otherwise the ground should be raised. Record the exact position of the toilet drainage pipe to design the specific bathroom planning.
