In most western cities we calculate that you can build say 2 x.
If your property is a square or a rectangle you may be able to calculate this figure yourself by taking the outside footprint then deducting the external wall thicknesses usually around 12 for a brick cavity block construction.
The stairs between two stories only needs adding to one of the floors.
12 x 5 60 m.
12 x 5 60 m.
Calculate the area of the parcel by multiplying the length and width of the construction site available.
Add up the individual footprint of each story to obtain the total square footage.
Then subtact 10 for walls and average closets and the loft area just take a good guess where it starts from the outside and use the same ie a 24 x40 house outside is about 864sq ft inside space with the loft at 20x 24 add inside space 432 so you get about 1300 sq ft.
Some home designers add the stairs to the floor above.
