Lets Buy A House!

Today we're going to look at an actual place to buy houses in the GTA:

Concepts and Definitions:

Lots:  A chunk of land you can build a house on.  Usually defined by its width.  A 12M lot means a 12 metre lot wide.  You can build specific houses on that lot.

We will reference this in class from the Siteplan link on the right:

Floorplan:  The basic design of each floor of the house.  The basement is usually empty and "unfinished" which means it does not have a formal floor, only a concrete floor.

Elevation A/B:  These are different designs for specific types of houses of the same model.  Kind of like options you may have depending on elevation type A or B.

PDR:  Powder Room - basically a bathroom by today's standards, which is on the main floor for guests.
