Two brochures can describe the same flat with numbers hundreds of square feet apart, and neither is lying. They are measuring different things.
The three areas
- Carpet area is the floor you can actually use inside the walls of the home. Under RERA it is the figure a developer must quote.
- Built-up area adds the thickness of the walls and, usually, balconies.
- Super built-up area adds a share of the common spaces: lobbies, staircases, lifts, the clubhouse.
Why carpet is the honest comparison
The gap between carpet and super built-up, the loading, varies from project to project. Comparing two homes on super built-up area compares their lobbies as much as their living rooms.
We quote carpet area on every project page. When you compare us with anyone else, ask them for the same number.
