[Equest-users] Building Areas

[Wolfe, Brian]

We've run into that situation, but not to the extent the credit was denied.  It was usually in the reviewers comments about the differences.  The issue is usually solved in a narrative describing why the differences in the stated square footage.  For some reason that is something they always seem to comment on during the review process.

Subject: [Equest-users] Building Areas

Has anyone come into issues with Reviewers rejecting a model because of the area of the spaces in the eQuest model are not what the areas that the Architect places on the design documents, due to the fact that the modeler traces the space without accounting for wall thickness?  Can this be avoided by explaining gross square footage versus net square footage?
