What is covered area, carpet area, built-up area and super buit-up area?
covered area is the actual area under the roof. carpet area is the area calculated from wall to wall inside the house, this would include steps if any, inside the house. Built up area is the carpet area + area covered by thickness of walls+ balconies etc. As a general rule built up area is around 8% to 10% more than carpet area. Super built up area is a unique money making concept by builders in apartment complexes. This is built up area + (area occupied by common amenities like lifts, corridors, awnings, club house, stairs)/ number of appts. Rule of thumb – super built up is around 28 to 30% more than carpet area. However in some cases it can be upto 50% more.
