This is the total percentage of the residence that has an unfinished lower level (lowest level). This applies to bi-level, split-foyer and raised ranch styles.
Note: Do not include built-in garage area when calculating the percentage of the lower level that is unfinished.
How to enter the percentage lower level unfinished:
- On the Edit Building Information panel, make sure the Home Style is set to either a bi-level, split foyer, or raised ranch style. The % lower level unfinished field appears once one of those home styles is selected.
- Click the link to show the % Lower Level Unfinished section.
- Enter the percentage of the residence that has an unfinished lower level.
- Click Save.
Example 1:
If you have a 2,400 sq. ft. bi-level home with a 400 sq. ft. built-in garage and 800 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level, you have 100% lower level unfinished.
1,200 sq. ft. per level, so 1,200 – 400 sq. ft. built-in garage = 800 sq. ft. of lower level area, and all is unfinished, so 100% is unfinished.
Example 2:
If you have a 2,400 sq. ft. bi-level home with a 400 sq. ft. built-in garage and 400 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level, you have 50% lower level unfinished.
1,200 sq. ft. per level, so 1,200 – 400 sq. ft. built-in garage = 800 sq. ft. of lower level area – 400 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level = 400 sq. ft. of finished area = 50% unfinished lower level area.
Example 3:
If you have a 2,400 sq. ft. bi-level home with a 400 sq. ft. built-in garage and 0 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level, you have 0% lower level unfinished.
1,200 sq. ft. per level, so 1,200 – 400 sq. ft. built-in garage = 800 sq. ft. of lower level area – 0 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level = 800 sq. ft. of finished area = 0% unfinished lower level area.
Enter the percentage of the lower level of the home that is unfinished.
