Living space calculation WoFlV & DIN 277
The correct area matters — for sale, letting and financing
Don't rely on old building documents or inaccurate area figures: an incorrectly calculated living space can be costly in tenancy disputes, sale negotiations, or when a bank uses the property as loan collateral. mkmfloor creates traceable, professionally documented area calculations based on current survey data — looking to get your living space calculated, or an area calculation under DIN 277? We calculate your residential, usable or commercial area either under the Living Space Ordinance (WoFlV) or DIN 277 — whichever standard is relevant for your purpose. The basis is a scan via the mkm|Scan app or an on-site survey by our team.

What is the difference between WoFlV and DIN 277?
The German Living Space Ordinance (WoFlV) governs the calculation of residential living space, e.g. for price-controlled housing or tenancies. DIN 277 is the general standard for determining floor areas in building construction and is used, among other things, for usable and commercial areas. Depending on the purpose (sale, letting, bank, valuation), clients require one or the other calculation — we provide both.
Which areas count towards living space?
In principle, all rooms exclusively belonging to the flat (rooms, kitchen, bathroom), with different weighting for balconies, terraces and rooms with sloped ceilings. The exact calculation is done room by room under WoFlV.
Is the calculation confirmed by a certified surveyor?
Yes, on request we deliver the area calculation with surveyor confirmation, so it also holds up with banks, courts or authorities.
Is a self-scan enough for a correct area calculation?
In most cases yes — the mkm|Scan app captures all relevant dimensions via LiDAR. For complex floor plans or sloped ceilings we additionally recommend an on-site survey by our team.
How detailed is the calculation documented?
You receive a room-by-room breakdown with all individual measurements, weighting factors (e.g. 50% for balconies) and the total sum — comprehensible for any reviewer.
Does the calculation also apply to commercial areas?
For purely commercial properties we use the full DIN 277 calculation. See our commercial area calculation page for details.
