There should be a way to merge builds instead of just replacing them
Especially if you are using For Rent. That way you could move old buildings and combine them into a new lot.

The issue with saving the house as rooms is that a lot of things get lost:
- foundation type
- foundation heights
- terrain paint
- terrain manipulation
- water tool
- roofs
- Some plataforms need to be saved as separate rooms because deleting walls don't count them as the same room
- Using fences to save landscaping don't work sometimes if you have a basement
While that does work is a good solution for some type of builds but not for complex builds using terrain tools or high fundations with stairs.
@DT4750 Yes it's just a kind of head start to get the bulk of work done by doing it this way. I haven't encountered the problem you mention with using fencing to save landscaping but another tip is to use half walls instead of fencing around a section of garden and then once you've placed it, then replace the half walls with fencing. I do this when I'm copying a section of garden/flower bed to another part of a lot. Sometimes my fencing section wasn't recognised as a room and I couldn't figure out why. But the half walls did work with the flooring insert created with a grass floor tile or gravel for example as terrain wouldn't copy over as you rightly pointed out.
The platform issue has a bug report here:

It's an annoying one, it takes huge chunks out of rooms. I use platforms a lot.
