Here are some important tips:
- If you are remodeling, do not include current cabinetry or other furniture that will be removed in your measurements.
- Draw in any obstructions such as radiators, pipes, or plumbing that you either can not, or do not, want moved.
- When measuring doors and windows the trim is considered part of the door or window.
- Measure the ceiling height and write it in the center of your drawing.
- Measure from the floor to the bottom of each window and also measure the overall window height.
- Next to each wall, write the name of the adjacent room.
