Buying a home is exciting, but sometimes the terms can get a bit confusing, especially if it is your first time buying a house. If you’ve ever wondered what the difference between carpet area, built-up area, or super built-up area really mean, you’re not alone. Let us help simplify it for you so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Carpet Area — Your Actual Livable Area
An easy way to remember this is to think of the carpet area as the space where you can roll out a carpet. This includes bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathrooms, and balconies. It doesn’t include the walls or shared areas like staircases or corridors.
Built-Up Area — Carpet Area + Walls & Balconies
The built-up area is the carpet area plus the thickness of the walls and balconies. It’s basically everything enclosed within your home’s walls. This area gives you a fuller picture of your home’s size, including parts you might not actively use
Super Built-Up Area — Anything and everything
The super built-up area includes the built-up area plus a share of common spaces in your building like the lobby, lifts, staircases and amenities like clubhouse, swimming pool etc. uilders usually price homes based on this area. Understanding this helps you know what you’re paying for beyond just your apartment.
