Before
the adoption of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) #Z765, no
nationwide standard existed in the United States for measuring square
footage in single-family houses.
While it is a voluntary
standard in most jurisdictions, adhering to
a nationally recognized standard increases a practitioner's
professionalism while reducing their exposure to disputes. It may
be used in proposed, new, or existing single-family houses of any style
or construction but is not applicable to apartment/multifamily
buildings.

Research Center online or by calling 800-638-8556.
