How many feet there are per story of a building will vary due to architectural and engineering differences between buildings. Higher ceilings mean more feet per story. If you are imagining how many feet high a simple building will need to be, you can figure on having ten feet of basic height in the rooms, then two feet of floor/ceiling which also conceals wiring and pipes. This means at least
. twelve feet per story. However, the higher and wider the building is, the stronger the support beams will need to be, and the more wiring and piping will need to be tucked away in between floors, increasing the necessary height per story.
