Challenge # 5: Draw & Cost Family & Lounge Rooms.
The Family & Lounge Rooms feature an open area ready for you to fill with furniture, entertainment cabinets and equipment.
Typically the Family & Lounge Room will have the same floor covering, whether timber floor boards, tiles or carpet.
You will need to provide pictures & costings for all items and floor coverings you add.
This floor plan will be drawn to a scale of 1:20.
All Floor Plans must include the following:
Title Block (Details of what is drawn is placed in the Title Block).
Title of your drawing.
1:20 Scale.
Measurements otherwise known as Dimensions.
Table showing all costs to complete your Family & Lounge Room.
Furniture in each of the rooms.
All areas are to be coloured as close as to the items in each area/ room.
This includes the different floor coverings, furniture, rugs, etc.

TIPS:
- Internal walls are normally 90mm wide (70mm for the timber stud & 10mm gyprock sheet each side.
- External Walls are normally 240mm wide. 110mm brick, 50mm gap, 70mm timber frame & 10mm gyprock sheet.
'- 2130 SD' means the sliding door (SD) is 2100mm high x 3000mm wide.
'- 2124' means the window to the Lounge room is 2100mm high x 2400mm wide.
- A 'DWARF WALL' means it does not go all the wall to the ceiling. Typically dwarf walls are 900mm high so be careful not to put bookshelves etc against these type of walls.
- 'SQ SET' means there is a square set finish the to the archway (dotted lines) at the entry.
- The 'PATIO' is an outdoor area that can be as big as you want and typically made from timber or concrete.
- To calculate an area that has a wall at an angle (45degrees in this house) you need to calculate the area of the triangle this wall forms. An easy way to do this is to draw (lightly) a line past the point where it turns at an angle. Repeat for the other wall until both of the projected lines cross. The lines will now make the room look square. Measure the length of the lines you have drawn past the angle wall to where the lines cross. These are the sides to your square (which you will halve to calculate the area of the triangle). Multiply the side measurements together to get your square area. Divide this answer by 2 to get your triangle area. Now you can use this calculation to deduct from the family room area e.g to work out the area of floor coverings.
