Townhouse floor plan: size, layout & how to measure it

90–200 m²

2–4 bedrooms over 2–3 storeys
layout

Townhouses and terraced houses spread 90–200 m² across two or three storeys. Multi-storey plans mean multiple drawings per unit — double or triple the measuring work, and the same multiplier on errors.

What the layout looks like

Ground floors typically hold living, dining and kitchen; bedrooms sit upstairs. Staircases are normally quoted separately per tread rather than as floor area, and voids over double-height spaces must be excluded from upper-floor totals.

Measuring it accurately

The reliable way to measure any townhouse plan is off the drawing itself: calibrate against a printed dimension line, then trace each room along the inside face of the walls. Measure each storey as its own plan and keep the staircase and any void out of the polygons. Export per-floor CSVs and sum them — or keep them separate if stairs and landings are priced independently.

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.
