# Explain what the bonus room includes at the current stage.

A bonus room plan page should explain how the space is reached, its present finish status and any documented options. Match those statements to the version offered. Label photographs of finished examples separately. Keep possible future uses as buyer questions until the responsible project reviewer confirms what the current records support.

## Which version of the bonus room are you describing?

Identify the plan and its status before describing the room. A current starting plan, a completed example and an alternate drawing carry different information. State which version the page represents. Do not let a finished photograph serve as the only explanation of what the buyer is considering.

Keep this page about one identified space. A general flex-room article explores different activities within an already described room. Your bonus room page first needs to establish where the space sits, how someone reaches it and what finish scope the record confirms.

Use the same public plan name as the [plan library page](/articles/builder-websites/plan-library-pages/). Add the applicable revision and source date to your working brief. If a newer drawing changes the access route or finish boundary, review the page before reusing its old description.

Separate the current offering from a buyer’s request. “Could this be a study?” is useful project context. It is not evidence that the starting plan includes a finished study. Record the intended activity, then ask the responsible reviewer which version and scope can be discussed.

A bonus room label should not become a promise of added value or automatic bedroom conversion. Leave those conclusions outside the page unless properly established through the relevant review. You can still describe the documented layout without predicting a project outcome.

## How do you explain the route to the space?

Read the current public drawing from the room’s labeled access point. Describe the route in plain language only as far as the drawing confirms it. Identify the connecting space and any transition the buyer needs to understand. Avoid invented stair dimensions, clearance claims or accessibility conclusions.

Check whether the illustration and the offered version show the same route. If one view uses a different entrance, label the view before describing it. A photograph taken from inside the bonus room may not explain how that room connects to the rest of the plan.

Use a simple source question: which record supports each noun in the sentence? If you write “hall,” the current drawing should identify that hall or clearly support the relationship. If the route remains unclear, request a reviewed description instead of interpreting an ambiguous symbol.

Keep the route statement close to the drawing. Then describe finish status separately. Access and finish answer different buyer questions, and one does not establish the other. If an option changes either, identify the exact difference in the option row.

## What evidence separates current scope from an option?

Use a current-versus-option table to compare the same fields. Read it across each row before publication. The table below is a proposed editorial tool. Its rows do not certify design suitability, technical compliance or whether an option is offered for a particular project.

| Field | Current version | Option or example | Record to inspect |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Access route | Describe the confirmed connection. | Identify any documented change. | Applicable public drawing and revision. |
| Finish status | Name the confirmed present scope. | Explain the separate finish scope. | Specification and option record. |
| Room label | Repeat the approved public label. | Keep alternate labels tied to their version. | Drawing index and approved description. |
| Photograph | Confirm whether it shows this version. | Label a selected finished example. | Image record and confirmed scope differences. |
| Possible future use | Do not imply inclusion from an activity suggestion. | Record the question for project review. | Responsible reviewer’s confirmed response. |
| Unresolved detail | Identify what remains unknown. | Do not substitute a sample project’s answer. | Open question and review responsibility. |

Connect the included-work statement to the applicable [standard specifications page](/articles/builder-websites/standard-specs-page/). If the specification does not confirm a component, do not add it because another finished room contains one. Keep each statement limited to the source version.

Use “documented option” only when a current option record exists. An older concept or a buyer’s sketch should not acquire that status through the page copy. If no option is confirmed, say that alternate finish scope requires discussion. Do not invent availability or an approval path.

Where records conflict, stop the affected claim. For example, a caption may call the room finished while the applicable summary says unfinished. Ask the responsible reviewer to resolve that wording. A broad disclaimer at the bottom does not explain which version the buyer sees.

## What should your copyable bonus room worksheet contain?

Copy this worksheet into the page brief before drafting the public description. Fill it from the current source packet. Use “unknown” for missing facts. The worksheet organizes writing evidence; it does not replace project documents or determine whether a proposed activity is permitted.

- Public plan name: [confirmed name]

- Page status: [starting plan / project / completed example]

- Drawing revision and issue date: [confirmed reference]

- Bonus space label: [exact approved wording]

- Access route: [confirmed description / unknown]

- Present finish status: [confirmed status / unknown]

- Included finish scope: [source-backed summary / unknown]

- Applicable specification: [version and effective date]

- Documented option: [record reference / none confirmed]

- Option changes: [access / finish / other confirmed difference]

- Example photograph: [image reference / none supplied]

- Photograph version: [current / selected example / unknown]

- Confirmed image differences: [summary / unresolved]

- Proposed activity: [buyer question, not a scope promise]

- Unresolved details: [precise questions]

- Public drawing rights: [confirmation record / unresolved]

- Content reviewer: [responsible role]

- Review trigger: [drawing, scope or image change]

Write the public page from the completed worksheet, then compare the page back to it. The public summary should retain the distinctions buyers need. Internal record references can remain private when a plain version label and date communicate the relationship accurately.

Separate review responsibility from invented credentials. Name the role that can answer the question in your own process. Do not claim an architectural, engineering or regulatory approval because someone approved the wording for publication. Content review and project review have different purposes.

## How should finished examples and drawings be labeled?

Give each photograph an explicit relationship to the current version. If it shows a selected finished example, say so beside the image. Describe confirmed differences in finish or layout. If you cannot establish those differences, hold the image rather than presenting it as the starting-plan scope.

Keep furniture suggestions separate from room status. A staged desk can illustrate an activity without confirming an included office. A bed in a photograph cannot establish bedroom status for the plan. Ask the qualified project reviewer to confirm any use claim before publication.

W3C’s [complex images tutorial](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/complex/) recommends short and long text descriptions for information-rich images. For a plan drawing, explain the important labels and connections in nearby text. This guidance concerns image presentation, not whether the depicted space meets building requirements.

Confirm the right to publish the particular drawing. The U.S. Copyright Office’s [Circular 41, pages 1 and 3](https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ41.pdf) treats architectural works and their technical drawings as distinct works. That distinction does not grant permission to use your supplied image. Obtain confirmation from the responsible party.

Keep downloadable versions aligned with the page. If the website labels the illustration as an alternate, the public download should retain that label. Review file names and captions when a drawing changes so an older attachment does not contradict the visible description.

## What would a fictional bonus room page say?

This unnamed example is fictional. It demonstrates a scope distinction and an inquiry prompt. No measurements, source dates, project permissions, finish products or option availability have been supplied. It does not describe a house offered by AgAI Labs or any builder’s actual plan.

**Version shown:** This fictional page represents a starting plan with a space labeled bonus room. The example record describes that space as unfinished. The access route, drawing revision and source date remain unconfirmed.

**Finished example:** A separate fictional photograph shows a furnished, finished room from another version. That photograph does not describe the included finish scope of the starting plan. The specific differences still require confirmation before the photograph could appear on a real page.

**Options:** No current option record has been supplied. A different finish scope is therefore an open project question, not a published offering.

**Question for your inquiry:** Which plan version are you considering, and what activity do you hope to accommodate? Identify the drawing or image you mean. Ask the team to confirm access, current finish scope and any documented alternate before comparing versions.

The example leaves enough information to frame a useful conversation without supplying missing facts. In your actual page, replace the unknown access route with a reviewed description. Replace the option note only when the current record supports an option for that version.

If the same project also has basement space, keep the two scope descriptions distinct. The [basement plan page guide](/articles/builder-websites/basement-plan-page-content/) provides a level-by-level legend for finished, unfinished and proposed areas. Do not merge those areas into a single general promise of future space.

## How do you keep the page current?

Assign one publishing owner to the page and its downloads. Ask that person to track source changes with the responsible project roles. A newer photograph alone should not change the plan’s current scope. Review the record before changing the label.

1. Identify the plan version and collect its current records.

2. Confirm the route and present finish scope separately.

3. Match each option statement to a current option record.

4. Label finished examples and record their confirmed differences.

5. Review drawing descriptions, rights and unresolved questions.

6. Recheck the page when drawings, scope records or photographs change.

Keep the page files, public drawings and editable captions in your accounts. The [Owned website stage](/process/owned-website/) explains that ownership. Use the [custom builder website page guide](/guides/custom-builder-website-pages/) to connect the plan to specifications and inquiries. The [builder websites articles](/articles/builder-websites/) cover the surrounding pages.

## What else should bonus room copy make clear?

### Does the bonus room name mean the space is finished?

A bonus room label does not establish finish scope. Check the applicable specification and plan revision. State the confirmed status beside the drawing, and identify any missing finish information as unknown.

### Can a finished example represent an unfinished starting plan?

A finished bonus room example needs a nearby caption explaining its relationship to the starting plan. Publish confirmed differences in scope. If the differences remain unknown, hold the example image until the description can be checked.

### Can the page promise a future bedroom?

A bonus room page should not promise a future bedroom from a drawing label or staged photograph. Ask the qualified project reviewer to assess the specific request. Keep the public page limited to confirmed current scope.

### What should a buyer include in a bonus room inquiry?

A useful bonus room inquiry identifies the plan version, the drawing or photograph and the intended activity. Ask which access route, finish scope and documented options apply. The receiving team can then locate the relevant records.
