Why do you do that? (count the foyer as 1.5X) Are you confusing it
with cube feet?

No, builders sometime use rules of thumb like that for (cost)
estimating purposes. It costs more to build a 2-story high space than
a 1-story high one, but not as much as 2 full floors (each with floor
and ceiling finish). OP is merely mixing his purposes, maybe because
he heard a builder talk like that once.
