Single-family homes range enormously — 120–300 m² is typical, but larger builds are common. At this scale, percentage errors turn into serious money: 3% on a 250 m² timber floor is most of a room.
Houses bring irregular shapes: bay windows, angled walls, garages that may or may not be in the flooring scope, and open-plan kitchen/living zones spanning the full rear. Architect drawings usually print reliable dimension chains, which makes calibration easy — but the shapes punish rectangle-based estimating.
The reliable way to measure any house plan is off the drawing itself: calibrate against a printed dimension line, then trace each room along the inside face of the walls. Never approximate an L-shaped or angled room with a rectangle — trace every jog. Decide the garage and any conservatory explicitly in or out of scope before exporting, and keep them as separate polygons either way.
PlanTape does the tracing for you — AI 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.
Typically 120–300 m² of internal floor area, with 3–5+ bedrooms. Exact size varies by launch year and block type — the floor plan for your specific unit is the only reliable source.
