When calculating house size, what is the current accepted practice for including verandahs, patios, balconies, alfresco areas etc.
I'm talking mainly about when looking at project and custom house plans. What are the rules, if they exist.
For example, when thinking about our own house, it has a large elevated verandah at the front which has a concrete and pebblecrete floor, and no roof above it (typical 1960s house with garage underneath). At the back there is a patio area which has a pergola type roof with suntuff roofing. Should either of these be in included in house size ?
I'm trying to compare house plans, and to compare against our own home to see just how much space they offer and how much we are used to.
cheers
