Two and six indicators to understand the house plan

1. Bay and depth. Whether the apartment type is good or bad, the bay and depth are very important. Bay refers to the width of a room, generally between 3 and 3.9 meters. Depth refers to the length of the room, which is generally controlled at about 5 meters. If the depth is too deep and the bay is narrow, it will not be conducive to lighting and ventilation. Generally, the two indicators of depth and bay will be marked on the house plan. There are numbers mixed in between the two drawn straight lines, such as 4.2 meters and 3.9 meters. Generally speaking, the smaller the total value of depth, the better, and the larger the bay, the better.

2. Area. Most house plans will indicate the total floor area of ??the house, but there are fluctuations between this data and the actual delivery standards. Therefore, on many house plans, the area is marked as approximately how many square meters the building area is, or the greater than or equal symbol is used. This is normal. In addition, when looking at the floor plan, you must pay attention to distinguish the difference between the construction area and the actual use area. In this case, you need to ask the salesperson how much the shared area of ????the property is. Subtract the shared area from the building area to get the actual usable area of ??the house. The smaller the shared area of ??a house, the higher the housing acquisition rate and the more affordable it is.

3. Proportion. Whether the house type is reasonable or not does not depend on the size, but on the proportion and layout relationship between the various parts of the house. This relationship depends on the designer’s grasp of the entire room type, and it is also related to the details of daily life. For example, when the total area is not large, it is common for the second bedroom to have only 8 to 9 square meters, but this situation is difficult to implement in actual use.

In addition, some house types have the bathroom door directly facing the living room and dining room. When you look at the house plan, you won't feel that there is a big problem with such a location.
