We just signed a contract with the builder, Meritage Homes. But when we measured the blue print, it occured to us that the quoted Square footage on their floor plan is not accurate. The blue print calculates about 200-300 sf less than the printed floor plan. The house is about 3300 sf. This certainly make us not quite happy.
We can still back out of the contract, but before we do that (since we still like the house), we are just wondering, legally, is there any thing we can do/say to the builder, to maybe, require them to add to full amount of the advertised squrefootage, or ask them to give us discount accordingly ? The house is not being built yet.

I have just several days left before I can back out of the contract. So, your kind advice will be highly appreciated.
 
I seem to recall there being two methods of calculating square footage...

Have you tried tallying up the outside perimeter of the house/rooms as opposed to the inside perimeter?

Just a thought. :)
