Image of how to calculate the found area
*(Reference) Method of Calculation of the found area


[Selected area calculation formula]
(A+B+C+D)×3/4≦A+B+C
If the area in contact with the surrounding ground (A + B + C) is more than three-quarters of the found area around the basement (A + B + C + D) on the outer perimeter of the basement, it will not be inspected. (However, applications are limited to garages.)

For more information, please contact the instructor.
