Changzhou property buyers will definitely look at the floor plan carefully when buying a house, because it is marked with important housing information such as housing area, functional area and housing orientation, so people can choose their favorite house according to their own needs. However, some details on the floor plan are easily overlooked, and the equipment platform is one of them.

1. What is a device platform?

As shown in the figure, the place marked in red is the equipment platform. Refers to the outdoor space that is not connected with the internal space of the building and the balcony space, and is used for shelving and overhauling air conditioners, hot water units and other equipment.

Second, does the equipment platform count as an area?

By definition, an equipment platform is a place where equipment (such as outdoor air conditioners) is placed. ) is placed. Generally, this part of the area can not be used directly and daily, so it does not have the conditions to calculate the area. But now the high-rise frame structure can easily open a small door on the platform of the equipment, or connect with the balcony to form a larger balcony. Therefore, many developers will package the equipment platform into a "gift area" to attract users. But buyers need to understand that the equipment platform does not belong to the building part for living. In case of rectification or cancellation when handing over the house in the future, buyers will face losses.

Another thing that needs to remind buyers is that the equipment platform on the floor plan may not fully meet the definition, so "there is no need to calculate the area without calling the equipment platform". For example, many car owners often find this problem. The floor plan clearly marked the equipment platform, but the final area became a balcony.

So what's the difference between a platform and a balcony? At present, this method is based on floor structure. If it is independent and not on the same floor as the balcony and bedroom, it can only be called the equipment platform. Generally, balconies and balconies have independent drainage facilities such as floor drain. In some cities, equipment platforms have clear architectural design specifications. If it does not meet the specifications, the area is calculated according to specific standards, and buyers can know in advance.

Three. Utilization and potential danger of equipment platform

In order to make full use of the space, some property buyers will transform the equipment platform and increase its functional areas, such as study, storage room, gym and so on. It not only makes more use of space, but also improves the style of the whole house. But at the same time, buyers should also pay attention to the possible security risks if the equipment platform is changed indiscriminately. In addition, the equipment platform can also be used as a temporary refuge point for fire escape, providing help in times of danger.
