Understanding Super Built-Up, Built-Up, and Carpet Area in Real Estate.

Introduction: When it comes to buying a property, understanding the various terminologies related to area measurement is crucial. SKAA – Shree Katariya and Associates are here to guide you through the complexities of super built-up, built-up, and carpet area, ensuring you make an informed decision. Let’s explore into these concepts to help you grasp their significance in the real estate market.

Super Built-Up Area: Super built-up area refers to the total area encompassing not only the actual usable space within the apartment but also the proportionate share of common areas such as corridors, lobbies, staircases, elevators, and amenities like swimming pools, clubhouses, and gardens. It is calculated by adding the built-up area and a percentage of the common areas.

Built-Up Area: Built-up area includes the actual usable space within the walls of an apartment, including the area occupied by walls. It incorporates the carpet area and adds to it the thickness of the walls, balconies, and utility areas. Built-up area provides a better estimate of the space available for interior fittings, furniture and fixtures.

Carpet Area: Carpet area refers to the actual usable floor space within the walls of an apartment. It is the area where you can place a carpet or spread out and is exclusive of the wall thickness. Carpet area includes the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms, providing an accurate measurement of the functional space available to the occupant.

Why is it important to understand these concepts? Understanding these area measurements is crucial for multiple reasons:

Pricing and Cost Calculation: The cost of a property is often determined based on the super built-up area. By understanding the breakdown of super built-up, built-up, and carpet area, you can evaluate the value proposition of a property and make an informed decision.

Space Utilization: Knowing the carpet area helps you assess how efficiently the space is utilized, allowing you to determine if it meets your specific requirements. It helps in visualizing the layout, planning furniture arrangements, and estimating storage needs.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Different states and countries have specific regulations and guidelines governing the sale and purchase of properties based on these area measurements. Understanding these concepts ensures compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, such as the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA).
