In architecture and building engineering, a floor plan is a drawing to scale, showing a view
from above, of the relationships between rooms, spaces, traffic patterns, and other
physical features at one level of a structure. Dimensions are usually drawn between the
walls to specify room sizes and wall lengths. Floor plans are significant in planning the
making of a building/house because they can visualize the spaces in the structure and
their dimensions which could help in designing the interior of the building.

BELOW IS A SCANNED COPY OF MY FLOOR PLAN

 TOTAL FLOOR AREA
The total floor area can be calculated by finding the area of each room in the
house or you can calculate the total floor area by one solution if the shape of the house is a
perfect shape such as rectangles and squares. When I calculated the area I devided the
floor plan in different portions and solve each portion’s area and lastly, add all the area of
all portions.

Below are illustration of all the portions

Formulas:

Square: Area= Side × Side

Rectangle: Area= Length × Width
1
Triangle: Area= 2 bh

Location Length/Base Width/Height Formula Area

Portion 1 L= 11 Meters W=9.5 Meters Area= L × W 104.5 Sqm.
Portion 2 L=9.5 Meters W=1.5 Meters Area= L ×W 14.25 Sqm.
Portion 3 L =9.5 Meters W=1.5 Meters Area= L ×W 14.25 Sqm.
Portion 4 B=1.5 Meters H= 1.5 Meters 1 1.12 Sqm.
Area= 2 bh

Portion 5 B=1.5 Meters H= 1.5 Meters 1 1.12 Sqm.

Area= 2 bh

Portion 6 & 7 L= 10 Meters W= 8 Meters Area= L ×W 80 Sqm.

Portion 7 Only L=3 Meters W= 1 Meter Area= L ×W 3 Sqm.

So the total floor area would be the sum of all the area of the different portions.
The equation would be: 104.5+14.25+14.25+1.12+1.12+ ( 80−3 )=¿ 212.24 Sqm.
Final Floor Area: 212.24 Square Meters

FLOOR AREA OF EACH ROOM

Before I compute how many tiles are needed, I will first find out the area of each room in
the house so that the number of tiles will be detailed. This will be very similar to finding
the total floor area of the house.

Total Floor Area Of Perfect Shape Rooms In Inches: 257,300.48 Square Inches

To compute the area of the comfort room I will divide the room into three portions
wherein there will be one square, rectangle and triangle. I will then find the area of each
portion and add all of them to get area of the comfort room.

Total Floor Area Of The Comfort Room In Inches: 12198.5 Square Inches

The next step is to add all the floor area that needs to be tiled, that would be the total area
of perfect shape rooms and the area of the comfort room.

Solution: 257,300.48 + 12,198.5 = 269498.98

Final Total Floor Area to be covered with tiles: 269498.98 Square Inches

TILES NEEDED
The amount of tiles needed can be computed by dividing the floor area which will be
covered by tiles by the area of the tiles you are going to be use.
Floor Area
Formula: Tile Area

The tiles we used in our house are 8 Inches by 12 Inches, using the formula for finding the
area of rectangle we can determined that the area of the tiles is 96 Square Inches. Since
the unit use in the floor area is meters I will have to convert it into inches so that it will be
easier to compute the number of tiles needed.

Bedroom 2 43,400.1 Sq. Inches 96 Sq. Inches 452 Pieces
Comfort Room 12198.5 Sq. Inches 96 Sq. Inches 127 Pieces

In conclusion, the number of tiles needed will be

218+363+145+ 283+ 97+97 +65+129+65+315+ 452+452+127 = 2808 Pieces. But you should not
buy the exact number of tiles needed only instead you should add some safety tiles just in
case some will break. We can add 20 tiles to the total number of tiles needed, so the final
number of tiles will be 2828 pieces of 8 by 12 ceramic tiles.

Final Total OF Tiles Needed: 2828 Pieces

The average cost of 8 inches by 12 inches ceramic tiles is 15 pesos, with the price and the
total number of tiles needed we can determine the estimated cost just by multiplying the
two given numbers. The estimated cost is 2828 ×15which is 42,420 which will be rounded
off to 42,000.

Final Estimated Cost: ₱ 42,000
