Rationale:
The most common reasons people build Maisonettes are
1. To have less footprint on the ground.
2. To afford family members a common room upstairs
3. To fit the hype of a neighbourhood.
4. The aesthetic of Maisonettes is attractive.
5. To enjoy better views beyond.

The most important factor that affects the overall cost of a building is the Size.
Size is everything. From it are all costs resultant, from Consultancy Fees to Finishing Costs
