Built Up Area And Carpet Area Ratio

One should ask the developer for the ratio of carpet area to the super built up area.

Built up area and carpet area ratio.

Thus built up area is carpet area area of walls and ducts 1 2 the area of terrace. Do consider all the factors. Carpet area is usually around 70 of the built up area. A lower price does not necessarily mean a better deal.

Logically built up area carpet area areas covered by walls. From builder perspective built up area is approximately equal to fsi area or may be 5 10 higher than fsi area. The higher the ratio of carpet area to the super built up area the more space one will get inside the flat. As a rule of thumb the super built up area can be calculated by adding a loading factor to the carpet area which may vary from 15 to 50.

This can be understood with this following example. The biggest catch is the calculation of common areas where you should pay most attention to. For calculating the built up area let us assume you have a super built up area of 1 200 sqft then built up area will be 70 or 80 per cent of 1 200 sqft which is equal to 840 sqft or 960 sqft while the carpet area will be 588 sqft or 672 sqft. Suppose areas covered as dry balcony terraces add up to the 10 per cent of the built up area while the usable area is just 70 per cent of the built up area.

Generally it is 10 15 per cent more than the carpet area. Value built up area carpet area 20 of carpet area it means if a carpet area is 750 sq ft then built up area 750 750 20. Carpet area area of walls area of utility interior part built up area generally the built up area is 10 more than the carpet area. Means carpet area is 75 of su per built up area.

The lower the factor the better it is for you as a customer as you get a higher carpet area for the same amount. Hope this makes sense. Conversely an addition of 10 to 15 per cent space to the carpet area becomes the built up area.
