What Is Included In The Total Square Footage For Home Plans?

Frequently Asked House Plans Questions
The total square footage includes all of the area inside the exterior face of the "heated walls". It does not include garages, porches, bonus rooms, or decks. For this reason, you cannot multiply the listed dimensions of each room, add them together and come up with the total square footage because you are not including hallways, closets, etc. Sorry, but no. In addition to the home plans that you order, you will also need a site plan that shows where the home is going to be located on the lot.

Price per square foot is an inaccurate number. If you call we will be glad to give you a generalization or range but it all depends on many different variables. We understand you may just want some information to make a decision but we would be glad to talk with you and hammer out a realistic price.
