myfs_99670 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hi,My apartment block has ground floor and I am on the 1st floor. Should I use 01 as my floor number? The lift levels are Ground, 1, 2, 3, so on. If so, what is the floor number for ground floor? I am in London and all apartments are like this.Thanks.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted November 14, 2010 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2010 These are some of the considerations:-1. British English terms:-Ground Floor or First STOREY2nd Floor or 2nd STOREY etc..2. Some architectural firms use US naming convention:-1st Floor = Ground Floor2nd Floor = 1st Floor(US uses FLOORs while UK traditionally USED to use STOREY.. perhaps, this has being "contaminated" by US language.) For example, UK uses flat. While US calls it apartment.3. Thus in your case, since your country is Britain; then :-Ground Floor = 1st Storey and so on..4. From what I understand from you:-GROUND FLOOR (1st storey) = #01-xxx1ST FLOOR (2nd storey) = #02-xxx etc....
