The higher the ratio of carpet area to the super built up area the more space one will get inside the flat.
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.
This can be understood with this following example.
One should ask the developer for the ratio of carpet area to the super built up area.
Generally it is 10 15 per cent more than the carpet area.
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.
The biggest catch is the calculation of common areas where you should pay most attention to.
Conversely an addition of 10 to 15 per cent space to the carpet area becomes the built up area.
A lower price does not necessarily mean a better deal.
Super built up area 600 25 of 600 600 150 750 sq ft so the payment will be made on 750 sqft not 600 sq ft.
From builder perspective built up area is approximately equal to fsi area or may be 5 10 higher than fsi area.
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.
The lower the factor the better it is for you as a customer as you get a higher carpet area for the same amount.
Carpet area is usually around 70 of the built up area.
Means carpet area is 75 of su per built up area.
Built up is usually 10 more than the carpet area.
Hope this makes sense.
Example if carpet area is 1000 sq ft then the built.
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.
Do consider all the factors.
