Drawn by dwellmark.house from Empire Homes's published specification — not copied from their floor plan. Only the total area, the storey count and the number of garage bays are the builder's. Everything else is ours: the outline's proportions, the 10ft × 20ft standard bay the garage is drawn at, and, on a plan with more than one floor, an even split of the total area between them — builders publish the total, not the breakdown. Bedrooms and bathrooms are reported as counts rather than drawn, because the builder publishes how many there are and not where they sit. For the real plan, see Empire Homes.
