Buying a house introduces you to a lot of jargon that otherwise is not known by everyone. Some of these might confuse you. When it comes to measuring the house area, three commonly used terminologies are Carpet Area, Built-Up Area, and Super Built-Up Area. These are considered even when you go applying for a home loan. Here are the meanings of the three jargon and the formulas to calculate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Carpet Area: <\/strong>As per Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, the carpet area is simply the net usable floor area. It excludes the area covered by the exclusive balcony, verandah area, open terrace area, external walls, service shafts; however, it includes the area covered by the internal partition walls. Simply put, the area available to you for laying your carpet is the carpet area. The carpet area is usually 70% of the built-up area.<\/li>
  2. Built-up Area: <\/strong>Built-up area is the carpet area and any space covered by the walls. It also includes the unusable areas in the flats like balconies, flower beds, terraces, etc. Therefore, apart from the carpet area, the built-up area will include walls, balconies, and other unusable areas within the flat and ducts.<\/li>
  3. Super Built-up Area: <\/strong>Super built-up area is the built-up area plus the common areas shared by the entire building. It includes lift, stairs, lobbies, etc. If the society includes a garden, clubhouse, gymnasium, and pools, they are also considered for the super built-up area. Usually, the builders add a loading factor in the carpet area to calculate the super built-up area. The loading factor is anywhere between 15%-50% of the carpet area.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
