Instruction
1. Measurement of the area of the apartment, as a rule, can be required for calculation of volume of materials when planning repair work, for example, to laying of new floor covering, installation of plinths. The majority of town houses has standard structure, and rooms in apartments – rectangular shape therefore it is not so difficult to make it.
2. Begin with living rooms. By means of tape measure measure length and width, write down result in notebook. Calculate the area of the room, having increased one size by another. These numbers seldom are whole therefore it is better to arm with the calculator in order to avoid errors of the oral account.
3. If in the measured room there are ledges or, on the contrary, deepenings, then their sizes need to be learned separately. Then also multiply the received numbers among themselves, take away the area of ledge from the total area of the room, and deepening (niche, the storeroom and so forth) add.
4. Repeat operation for all other rooms, kitchen, the bathroom, bathroom, the hall, corridor, the storeroom, wardrobe and so forth. Put the received results with each other, total number also will be the area of your apartment.
5. There can be question why independently to measure the area of the apartment if it is the known size declared builders and appearing in documents for housing. First, these data quite often overestimate. Secondly, the sizes "are always eaten" by interior finish (wall-paper, wall panels, plinth, etc.)
6. After you finish calculations and will choose repair materials, it is possible to start their purchase. Calculate how many panels, plates or boards are necessary to perform works. Do not try to keep within precisely the total value of the area of the room or apartment for the purpose of economy. Add small stock for maneuver in case make mistake and you will spoil product.
