Porch and attached-structure breakdown

Each attached porch or lean-to is named with its own dimensions and side, with enclosed additions counted separately from porch square footage.

What it is

A spec row rendered from the structured attached-buildings array parsed out of SmartBuild's shed data. It prints each leg as width by length with its side, then totals enclosed square footage and porch square footage separately. The builder-confirmed total can exceed the raw leg sum because a wraparound corner is added on confirmation.

Also called: lean-to on the quote · porch square footage · wraparound porch · attached building sq ft

How it works
  1. 1attachedBuildings carries per-porch dimensions, side, wrap and leg sq ft
  2. 2Entries flagged enclosed are named as attached buildings and excluded from the porch total
  3. 3attachedSqft, the builder-confirmed figure, wins over the raw leg sum when present
  4. 4Old snapshots without the enclosed flag render exactly as before
Why we built it

Enclosed attached structures were folded into the porch total, double-counting area that already sat inside the building footprint — so the quote's own numbers did not add up in front of the customer. Porches and attached structures break out on their own lines, in the format builders actually use on a written quote. The buyer can see what the porch costs separately from the barn.

The problem
  • Enclosed additions inflating porch area
  • Wraparound corners lost from the square-foot total
  • Attached structures reduced to a bare count
Sound familiar?
What you get
The buyer sees each porch leg with its own dimensions and side
Enclosed and covered area are never mixed in one number
