Sketching a Split-Level

A split-level aka tri-level home, traditionally consists of

• A main entryway or door located at the middle level (often the part of the house with the single-story) This can be built over basement, slab, or (usually) crawl.
• A split going up to a one story part that is built over…
• A garden basement (or built-in garage) A garden basement characterized by longer (basement) windows.
  

A Split-Level is different than a Bi-level.

Tips on entering a Split-level into LandMark.

• Style Type: Split-level will take the place of 1 Story even if house has a 1 story overhang
  Example: Split Lvl-SF/Ovh NOT 1S-SF/Ovh (See section number four in the example below.)
  If multiple style types are chosen, the square footage WON’T automatically figure and the home will NOT price out.
• Garden Basements In the case of a Split Lvl-SF/Garden, partitioned finish is already assumed and calculated.
  (See section number two below.) DO NOT add basement finish.
• Other Basement Finish In the highly unlikely case of having a regular basement under the middle level.
  User may add basement finish to that area only, if needed.
  In example one, we added 50% minimum finish. (See the Residential Data Tab below.)
  

Example One
Split-level with basement under middle level (very unlikely) with built-in garage.

Example Two:
Split-level with crawl space under middle level, with attached garage.
