Hi

I've a few questions in relation to housing sizes, which I'd love to get peoples thoughts on.

(1) average square metre of a new build house in current times? (Or is there anywhere in Ireland that would have them type of stats?)

(2)(A) Average square metre for a standard 2 storey new build house? (Typical house)
(B) the average square metre for a standard 3 storey new build house? (Seem to notice more of these are being built these days)

(3) Also, If you're a recently purchased a new build house (say over last 10 years) - what is your house size in sq. metres; particularly if it's a 3 storey house?

I'd appreciate people's feedback on the above, or if anyone can point me in the right direction.


(Also if this is completely the wrong sub-forum or indeed website for me to get this info; if you could point me to the best place I could post this for the most feedback,


Cheers!

For your average rectangular 2 story - take your average length piece of rope and stretch it out along the front wall.

Take a smaller average piece of rope and stretch it along the gable wall.

Mulitply these and you have the area of the ground floor.

Multiply this by 2 for a 2 story and 3 for a 3 story*

NOTE: square houses are even easier. just the one piece of rope will do.

*This assumes that each story has the same area. For dormer's you will need to reduce this slightly. Or an easier way to do this is to use a smaller piece of rope for the 2nd/3rd story
