Style

The styles available in Residential Estimator are dependent on the residence type as follows:

See the Style Comparison for a description of each available style.

You can select one or two styles for an estimate. If you select one style, enter 100% for that style. If you select two styles, enter the percentage for the first style. Residential Estimator automatically sets the percentage of the second style to 100% minus the percentage for the first style.

Example: The entry for a two-story single-family residence is:

Style equals Two Story at 100%

Example: The entries for a residence that is 65% two story are 35% one story are:

Style equals Two Story at 65%, Second Style equals One Story at 35%

Note: For styles 1½, 2½ and 3½ story unfinished residences, do not include the unfinished area on the upper half story when entering the total floor area.

Example: For a 1½ story residence with 1,400 square feet on the first floor and 790 square feet on the unfinished second floor, the entries for style and total floor area are:

Style equals 1 1/2 Story Unfinished at 100%, and Total Floor Area equals 1400
