Percent Lower Level Unfinished

This is the total percentage of the residence that has an unfinished lower level (lowest level). This applies to bi-level, split-foyer and raised ranch styles.

Note: Do not include built-in garage area when calculating the percentage of the lower level that is unfinished.

How to enter the percentage lower level unfinished:

  1. On the Materials page under Construction Details, Basement Details select Lower Level Unfinished

  2. Enter the percentage of the residence that has an unfinished lower level.

  3. Click Save ( save icon ).

Example 1:

If you have a 2,400 sq. ft. bi-level home with a 400 sq. ft. built-in garage and 800 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level, you have 100% lower level unfinished.

1,200 sq. ft. per level, so 1,200 – 400 sq. ft. built-in garage = 800 sq. ft. of lower level area, and all is unfinished, so 100% is unfinished.

Example 2:

If you have a 2,400 sq. ft. bi-level home with a 400 sq. ft. built-in garage and 400 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level, you have 50% lower level unfinished.

1,200 sq. ft. per level, so 1,200 – 400 sq. ft. built-in garage = 800 sq. ft. of lower level area – 400 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level = 400 sq. ft. of finished area = 50% unfinished lower level area.

Example 3:

If you have a 2,400 sq. ft. bi-level home with a 400 sq. ft. built-in garage and 0 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level, you have 0% lower level unfinished.

1,200 sq. ft. per level, so 1,200 – 400 sq. ft. built-in garage = 800 sq. ft. of lower level area – 0 sq. ft. of unfinished lower level = 800 sq. ft. of finished area = 0% unfinished lower level area.

Enter the percentage of the lower level of the home that is unfinished.
