Follow these steps to create a rough floor plan for your remodeling project. Getting these measurements recorded will help you or your designer build a 3D design and estimate remodeling costs. All measurements are saved to your My Shenandoah account.
Note: Use these measurements only for the purpose of estimating. Before you start your remodeling project in earnest, make sure to have a professional measure your space. Ultimately, measurement errors can cause significant delays and costly overruns.

Double-check measurements
On each wall, add all your separate measurements together and compare the total to the measurement you recorded for the total length of the wall. The total of your wall segments must equal your overall wall length. If not, re-measure.
Example: 62.5”’ + 36” + 39.75” = 138.25” or 11’ and 6.25” (see Wall A in illustration)
Pro Tips:
Don’t sweat your drawing: It’s more important to record the exact measurements than it is to draw a perfect floor plan to scale.
If you can only take one horizontal measurement of each wall, then take your measurement from a 36” height. Remember that when measuring doors and windows, the casing (trim) is considered part of the door and window. Measure from one side to the other of the door or window trim, then measure the outside of the trim to the middle of the window or door.≥
