I’m pretty confident it’s 1000 ft². I remember discussing how larger projects tend to have different criteria for certification.

I’m torn between 250 ft² and 500 ft². I know it’s lower than 750 ft², but I can’t recall the exact number.

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like it was 750 ft². It seems like a common requirement for BD+C projects.

I think the minimum gross floor area is 500 ft², but I’m not completely sure. I remember something about it being around that size.
