Design, Build and Sell Scheme flats (Singapore, 2005–2011: think The Pinnacle@Duxton or City View @ Boon Keng) were designed by private developers, so layouts vary far more than standard HDB types.
DBSS plans often feature condo-style layouts: balconies, bay windows, planter boxes and irregular living-room shapes. Bay windows and planters are typically excluded from flooring area but included in some developers' published sizes; the discrepancy trips up quotes based on the marketing floor area.
The reliable way to measure any dbss plan is off the drawing itself: calibrate against a printed dimension line, then trace each room along the inside face of the walls. Quote from the measured internal polygon, not the marketed floor area: planter boxes and bay-window ledges can inflate the published size by 5–10 m² versus the actual floor you will lay.
PlanTape does the tracing for you. It detects every labelled room and the scale line in under two minutes, you fine-tune the corners, and the per-room areas and skirting perimeters export as a CSV — in square metres and metres.
Typically 65–120 m² (≈700–1,300 sq ft) of internal floor area, with 2–4 bedrooms (developer-designed). Exact size varies by year and builder; the floor plan for your specific unit is the only reliable source.
