Livability check

No problems

!Living room renders 2.7:1 in this layout — narrower than the ~1.7:1 ideal. (Habitable rooms not corridor-like)
!Bedroom renders 3.9:1 in this layout — narrower than the ~1.7:1 ideal. (Habitable rooms not corridor-like)
!Bedroom renders 5.4:1 in this layout — narrower than the ~1.7:1 ideal. (Habitable rooms not corridor-like)
!Bedroom renders 5.7:1 in this layout — narrower than the ~1.7:1 ideal. (Habitable rooms not corridor-like)
!A door into Entry has only 1.5 ft to swing — tight for a 3.0 ft door. (Door swings don't collide)
!A door into Entry has only 1.5 ft to swing — tight for a 2.7 ft door. (Door swings don't collide)
!A door into Hallway has only 1.8 ft to swing — tight for a 2.1 ft door. (Door swings don't collide)

These are architect rules of thumb the building code doesn't cover — room reachability, proportion, daylight, and adjacency. Warnings are nudges, not failures. Sourced from A Pattern Language, NKBA, and practitioner conventions.

≈ $182/sqft, shell + finishes

A transparent takeoff from the plan's actual rooms and openings — not a regional per-sqft guess. Real bids vary with site, market, and finish level.
