Determining square footage was so intimidating before. Thank you for this knowledge, you broke it down well. Gods Blessings to you and yours this Christmas season
Was taking a test for a financial institution and never having owned a home, I had no idea how to calculate square footage. Saw the calculation via a website but to affirm that I knew what to do, I like to experience things visually. Your video was very helpful. Thanks.
How do you add the square footage of more than one wall together ??? Just add up the total square footage af all the rooms together after you have gotten the tfs of each wall ???
I understand how this can be confusing and that your suggestion about using the term "length" and "width" instead of "height" would definitely be more clear when talking about measuring SF for flooring. Chalk it up to how I learned how to measure square footage, I suppose. The important thing to take away is the concept that Length A x Length B = Square Footage. This formula works for measuring floors, walls, ceilings or any flat, square area. Sorry for any confusion.
It sounds like you are trying to measure volume instead of square footage. To measure volume, just add one more dimensional measurement. For example, if you are looking at box so that all you see is the front, and you can measure that it is two feet in height and two feet in width, then you know that the face of the box is four square feet in frontal area. Now, if you look to see how far back to box goes (we'll call that Length), lets say it is a square box and is therefore two feet in every dimension, then the volume is 2' Length x 2' height x 2' width = 8 cubic feet of volume.
When figuring out the size of a house, you're using 3 dimensions not 2. So you're saying a house with a length of 3 and a height of 2, has a square foot of 6 no matter the width. So if a house is as wide as a football field, but having one length which is not 3, because I'm obviously not dealing with a perfect square; it's still a square foot of 6. WTF. So a room with a width of 2, and length of 3, has a square foot of 6 no matter how tall it is? So from this video, the measurement width doesn't exist? How would this work with figuring out a square footage for a house?
If I understand your question correctly, you are confusing Area (square feet) with Volume (cubic feet). For example, if I was measuring a room for flooring (which is what I am discussing in this training) and the room was 3' x 2', then the Area would equal 6 square feet. If i wanted to calculate Volume (i.e how much water the room might hold), I would measure the length from floor to ceiling and times that by the Area. So, if my ceiling was 8' from the floor, my 3' x 2' room would have a volume of 48 cubic feet (6 x 8). I think this is what your question is about.
Yeah, it totally was. I talked to my construction professor also with concern over the issue, and simple she clarified that it's usually an 8 ft. ceiling when dealing with houses. (I was confused with the idea of selling houses through sq. feet, when in my head, it wasn't an accurate calculation. Varying on the height of the ceiling.) (When I hear sq. ft, I tend to visualize the square foot; as a square dealing with area/volume.) She told me I was overthinking things, and once again making it way more complicated than it is. To complicate things further, appliances also can reduce a home sq. footage. But that's another story... Thanks for clarifying above, definitely helps! :D Cheers!

Great ....you made it so simple thanks :)
What program are you using and can that program be used on a tablet?
To measure TSF for a shower, would I measure 3walls & the floor, then add together for TSF?
I got what I needed to get from this video.
why did you calculate height? isnt that for volume? im trying to determine sq of home. I suppose its only L x W?
Woah! I now know how to calculate square footage! NASA, here I come! Thanks for your video. This is greatly appreciated.
I don't know of any places that are in feet only, are your rooms in the house?
Thanks a lot for posting this
Could you do the linear footage 12×12,4 ft deep
Very helpful 👏
Very helpful , thanks a lot 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the information on square footage. You explain it very clear and simple,thanks.
How do you measure when it's not exact whole numbers
I needed to see that because I had forgotten how to do it. Thanks so much for sharing this information.
thanks for sharing, I need it to refresh my brain.
Thank You so much
Good tutorial.
wowwww thank you so much, it was so easy.
super
Great... Easy and straight to the point. Thanks
All good thanks!!!
i like your mathod so good to understand easily. ...Thank you
Thanks +1
How come height comes into factor? If your tiling a floor wouldn't it be LxW?

I think he discuss about walling :]
TileAisle the more wrong
sir i have one question how can i measure a complete GI peice duct in square feet

thank you so much
good teacher thank you soo much
thank you helpfull
Thanks!!
not height.that is width
is this for high school or for children
thanks for the video. and I thought this was hard it's just common sense
Jorge Cortez aw aw aw see 1w
Thanks man.
Dear sir, really its help full, I want to solve some construction problem if you don't mind can i talk to you sir. Please give a call on 9739150747
I think this is a good idia.
It's height, not "heighth". It ends in a "t" not an "h" like length and width.
