House Size Calculation:
| From: | To: |
House size calculation involves measuring the area of each room in a house and summing these areas to determine the total living space. In Australia, this is typically measured in square meters, though square feet is also used in some contexts.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator multiplies the length and width of each room to get individual room areas, then sums all room areas to calculate the total house size.
Details: Accurate house size calculation is essential for property valuation, renovation planning, furniture placement, energy efficiency assessments, and compliance with local building regulations.
Tips: Select your preferred measurement unit (square meters or square feet), enter the number of rooms, then provide the length and width for each room. All measurements must be positive numbers.
Q1: Should I include outdoor areas in my calculation?
A: This calculator is designed for interior living spaces only. Outdoor areas like patios, decks, and garages should be calculated separately if needed.
Q2: How do I measure irregularly shaped rooms?
A: For irregular shapes, divide the room into rectangular sections, calculate each section's area separately, then sum them together.
Q3: What's the standard measurement unit in Australia?
A: Square meters (m²) is the standard unit for property measurements in Australia, though some older properties may still reference square feet.
Q4: Should I measure from inside or outside walls?
A: For interior living space calculations, measure from the inside of walls to get accurate room dimensions.
Q5: How accurate should my measurements be?
A: For most purposes, measurements to the nearest centimeter or half-inch are sufficiently accurate.
