Can anyone shed some light on square footage of TV houses?

Looking at several current TV house plans, square footage doesn't quite add up. Online versions are better than a brochure we have, only because they added a concrete pad which is included in the total sf.

For example, the Lantana is billed as 2834 total sf with 2030 climate controlled. So the non-controlled 804 sf 'living space' are the garage, lanai, and a 10x10 concrete pad outside the lanai (my brochure didn't show the concrete pad).

BUT no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to come close to the climate controlled square footage. No matter what method (scale measurement, planimeter, et al) nothing gets any closer than about 200 square feet less than what's shown (i.e. Lantana 1820 sf rather than 2030)! That's a fair sized space missing.

Other plans seem to show similar shortfalls.

Thanks
