While purchasing a house we get to know that the area is classified into three different types 

Carpet area, Built up area  and Super Built Up Area. Each of these mentioned areas provide different calculations of the Area . In this Blog, Let us understand How Carpet Area, Built Up Area and Super Built Up Area Works.

CARPET AREA 

Carpet Area refers to the area within the walls of a property, where a carpet can be laid out. In other words, it is the actual area Building, which now no longer encompasses the thickness of the walls, balconies, or not unusual place regions which include staircases, lobby, etc. Carpet area is the most Vital parameter when it comes to determining the actual usable space in a property, and it is often used by real estate developers and architects to calculate the cost of construction and to determine the selling price of a property

CALCULATION OF CARPET AREA

The carpet area can be calculated using  a simple formula which is,Carpet area is equal to the area of the bedroom,living room , kitchen ,balconies And toilets  .Excluding the width  of the inner walls .Commonly the carpet area in our apartment Comprises up to 90% Built up Area.

For Example,If an apartment has a 1758.65 sq. ft. built-up area, and 82.8 % of that is the General Carpet Area.

Then, 82.8% of 1758.65 sq. ft. = 1456.56 is the  Carpet Area.

According to The RERA Act 2016, The RERA Carpet Area can be calculated by-

RERA Carpet Area Varies from the general carpet Area. RERA Carpet Area General Formula is 

RERA Carpet Area = Usable Area of the Apartment + Areas of the Internal Partition Walls

There will be a difference of 5% in the general carpet Area and the RERA Carpet Area

Built Up Area

Built Up Area is considered as the Total Carpet Area + Other liveable Area’s Like exterior walls, interior walls, Balconies,Terrace And Corridor.The built Up Area is of up to 80% of The super built up area 

Built Up Area = Carpet Area + Wall + Balconies  and Corridors

According To Rera regulations,Generally The Carpet Area is probably 10-16% More Than Carpet Area So For Example,

If The Carpet area is 1150 Sq Ft . then the built Up Area will Be 1265-1334 Sq Ft

Carpet Area Vs Built Up Area 

Carpet Area is the Usable Area of the Building and Built Up Area is the Area including The non Usable Area

The Built Up Area Will Always be more than the Carpet Area

SUPER BUILT UP AREA

Super Built Up Area Is Calculated by adding the Built up Area and the Assigned Common Area . Anyways The common Swimming pool and underground sump, open spots Facilities are Not included in the Super Built up Area.It can also be calculated by multiplying the carpet Area and loading factor.

If We own a 1500 sq. ft. flat on the Second floor, and Our friend owns a 2000 sq. ft. flat on the same floor. If the total area of the common area is 1,500 sq. ft The builder would split the common area in the ratio of the built-up area.The Ratio would Be 1:2.

LOADING FACTOR?

Loading Factor is the Difference between the built up Carpet Area  and the Super Carpet Area is known as the Loading Factor. Loading Factor is used by the builders to add the constructed space in our Carpet Area That is not Exclusive For us.
