Ex: Find the Square Footage of a House 

Does 2 story ceiling add sqft to a home? Would that be extra in drafting blueprints?

Is a porch or an attached deck or garage considered part of a homes square footage?

best explanation, very helpful thanks

Please Help. Can you clarify the measurements shown in your diagram are indeed exterior measurements? If so, does that agree with ANSI Z765-2003 method of measuring sf for appraisals? Thank you

thank you, really good explanation.

Nice example. Thank you!

Thanks. I added the 3 rectangles to arrive at the same conclusion. I never thought to do 1 large rectangle and subtract the other 2.

Thx man I help a welder and he's been wanting me to learn how to do this

Great video

Thanks for the refresh bro

that was very helpful.

Best explanation ever. Thanks 😁

Thank you so much for this, you just helped us figure out sq of our home for insurance!

But do you walk around the house and measure from the outside? Inside? What is considered legal by the real estate world?

very nice ... keep it up

man is smart excellent explanation

i have a question. suppose, you know the square foot of an area but do not know the size of length and width. how do you find that ?

So don't deduct for the walls as some are 4" and some are 6"

helo sir plese give me 19by 14 ft map home

wonderful explanation

THANK SO MUCH !!!!!

Thank you

length is always the longest side and width is the shortest side.

When I look at this, all I think about is that game Minesweeper from back in the day

this diagram show only one floor. How to calculate sq for 1 floor + garage. Thats all this is. Now check sq for second floor and basement. Then just add if you dealing with extra floors.

So the square footage of a house doesn't change no matter how tall is it!?!?!

Why everyone explains with no decimal or inches .. conversion of inches to feet is very important.its not necessary that every house would have a perfect length and width in measurement. What abt inches !!!

then whats the circumference and perimeter someone please help?????.................

i thought you measured the outside walls of the house??

I disagree. this seems more complicated than it should be. Just measuring each room, add the SF of each room and done no subtracting needed.

So if u had 2 areas say 12x12 it equas 144, then u add 144 plus 144 and equals 288 total. Yet if u just had one area double that at 24x24 it equals 576. Riddle me that batman.

Is Square meter or square ft. Are the same?

noice

The wall at the top says 22' wouldn't the bottom be 22 - the 8 so instead of 30 you should've went with 22?

Go more in depth.

My teacher can do this faster then you

Nope but very close unless???? There had been a change in drafting measurements principles. The first example would be 40 - 6. Not 40 + 6. Really insignificant, but in a largest scale project.. It could be thousands of dollars! Don't you agree. But, thank you for the tutorial... Really helpful in overall comprehension
