ᐅ Room lengths do not match the overall room size

Hello,

although this is primarily a homebuilding forum, maybe you can still help.

We are currently planning to purchase a condominium that is yet to be built by the developer. We received the floor plan attached, but the dimensions (length times width) do not match the listed square meters.

For example:
Bedroom: 2.95 x 4.76 = 14.042
But the plan states 14.36 or 14.61.
Children's room: 3.39 x 3.42 = 11.59
But the plan states 11.48 or 11.71.

This kind of discrepancy is consistent throughout the entire plan.

Is this normal? How are these measurements calculated? And most importantly, which figures should I rely on when considering the size of the apartment? If all rooms are smaller than the stated square meterage, it can really add up...

Best regards

So this actually applies throughout the entire plan.

You can’t really say that.
1. The open space, bathroom, and hallway can’t be calculated because the measurements are missing.
2. For the bedrooms, the 2.95 meters (9.7 feet) doesn’t match the top wall exactly, so it’s a few centimeters more, and then it fits again.
3. Children’s rooms: the gross measurements include the reveal of the floor-to-ceiling window and the door reveal.
The software calculates the living area from the digital data available. It also calculates net area assuming a plaster thickness setting—I know it’s 1.5 centimeters (0.6 inch).

Furthermore, the plan clearly states at the bottom:

A house isn’t like a watch; it’s a rough product where a tolerance of 1/100 or 3/100 is still acceptable because you can’t work more precisely.
Where exactly do you see a problem?

Plans include structural dimensions, so the plaster thickness still needs to be deducted.
Otherwise, ypg has already covered everything.

And never calculate using exact centimeters, that will backfire.
