Carpet Area Formula:
From: | To: |
The Super Built-Up Area To Carpet Area calculation converts the total built-up area of a property (including common areas) to the actual usable carpet area using a standard conversion factor of 0.65.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This calculation estimates the actual usable floor space by applying a standard conversion factor to the total built-up area.
Details: Accurate carpet area calculation is crucial for property valuation, space planning, and understanding the actual usable space in a property compared to the total built-up area.
Tips: Enter the super built-up area in square meters. The value must be greater than 0. The calculator will automatically compute the estimated carpet area.
Q1: Why use a conversion factor of 0.65?
A: 0.65 is a standard industry conversion factor that accounts for common areas, walls, and other non-usable spaces in a building.
Q2: Is this conversion factor applicable everywhere?
A: While 0.65 is a common standard, actual conversion factors may vary by region, building type, and local regulations.
Q3: What's the difference between super built-up area and carpet area?
A: Super built-up area includes common areas like lobbies, staircases, and elevators, while carpet area refers to the actual usable floor space within the unit.
Q4: Can this calculation be used for commercial properties?
A: Yes, though commercial properties may have different conversion factors based on building design and usage.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides an estimate. For precise measurements, consult architectural plans or conduct physical measurements.
