How do you calculate built up area from floor plan?
Accordingly, how is built up area calculated?
Logically, built-up area = carpet area + areas covered by walls. Generally, it is 30-35 per cent more than the carpet area. Suppose, areas covered as dry balcony, terraces add up to the 10 per cent of the built-up area while the usable area is just 70 per cent of the built-up area.
In this way, what is the built up area?
Built-up area. The built-up area is the comprehensive area which is the sum of the carpet area and the thickness of walls of the housing unit. The area spanned by the balcony or terrace is also counted in this. Mostly, it constitutes about 70 to 80 per cent of the super built-up area of the property.
Plinth area is also called as built-up area and is the entire area occupied by the building including internal and external walls.
