1) A Surface Area Schedule can be helpful on several bases, including but not limited to
a) General estimate of construction cost once trim and finish level are known
b) Subcontract input to trade estimate
c) Insurance estimate
d) Interpersonal reference commonly
e) A separately formed means to identify substantial differences between spaces depending on the particular property
i) Habitable
ii) Occupiable
iii) Finished
iv) Unfinished
v) To be finished
vi) Covered
vii) Open
viii) Enclosed
ix) Level
2) What’s interesting about this schedule
a) Framing area is accounted
i) Habitable includes “warm walls”
ii) Unfinished implies habitable
b) Stairwells should be counted once, in the Level they occupy
c) The two-sides-of-house wrap-around porch is a major feature of this residence
d) Several substantially different types of home space
