Measurement guide

Good measurements make a good plan. Here's how to capture your space in about an hour per floor.

Label walls A, B, C, D

Stand at the entry, pick a starting corner, and label walls clockwise. Use the same labels in your photos and sketch.

Use feet and inches

Measure in feet and inches and enter areas in square feet. If you only have metric figures, convert them before entering.

Measure openings from a fixed corner

For each window and door: distance from the starting corner, width, height, and sill height. Note which way doors swing.

Check the dimension chain

Segments along a wall should add up to the full wall length. Measure at least one diagonal per room to confirm it's square — essential for irregular rooms.

Record fixed obstacles

Columns, shafts, radiators, stairs, level changes, electrical panels and fixed plumbing.

Ceiling heights

Measure in each room, plus any soffits or beams.

Room connectivity

Note which rooms connect and how (doorway, opening, hallway).

Photos

Take a clear photo of every wall and every corner. Photos help us understand your space but can't replace measurements — reliable dimensions come from a tape or laser measure.
