The story height is usually measured by 1 square wall height (about 36 cm), which is generally 9 square meters at the bottom, 7.5 square meters at the top and 7 square meters at other floors.

The length of eaves is generally a quarter of the building height; The slope of the roof tile is also customized, commonly known as "putting some water". Generally, the ratio of half the length of shoulder beam to the height of spine is 1:0.45.

The thickness of the sub-wall is usually 48 cm or 54 cm.
