  • Dimensioned walls and lengths or
  • square meter information per room or
  • scale (however, the calculation is less precise than when specifying dimensions or square meters)

In addition, stairs, doors or room openings as well as room names should be included in the plans.

For attics with sloping roofs, so-called 1-meter and 2-meter contour lines are also required.

When calculating the living space, the floor areas of all rooms in an apartment or house are measured and added together. Living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and storage rooms are taken into account in particular. Balconies, terraces and unheated basement areas are usually counted proportionally. There are special rules and standards, such as the Living Space Ordinance (WoFlV) or the DIN 277that must be taken into account.
