Super Built-Up Area Built-Up Area vs Carpet Area

Key Differences to Understand Before Buying a Home

Buying a home is a significant investment, and understanding real estate terminologies like Super Built-Up Area, Built-Up Area, and Carpet Area is crucial. These terms impact pricing, usable space, and overall property value, making it essential for homebuyers to make informed decisions.

At Yula Constructions, we believe in “Building The Way You Wish To Live“ by ensuring complete transparency in real estate transactions. This blog will help you understand the key differences between Super Built-Up Area, Built-Up Area, and Carpet Area so you can choose the right home for your needs.

1. What is Carpet Area?

Carpet Area is the actual usable space within your home—the area where you can place furniture and move around. It excludes walls, balconies, terraces, and common spaces like lobbies and staircases.

Formula for Carpet Area:

Carpet Area = Total Usable Floor Space Inside the Apartment (Excluding Walls & Common Areas)

Why Carpet Area Matters?

  • Determines how much space you will actually use in your home
  • Helps compare different apartments based on usable area
  • Directly impacts the functionality and comfort of your home

Example:

If you buy a 1,500 sq. ft. apartment, the carpet area might be 1,050-1,100 sq. ft., depending on wall thickness and design.

2. What is Built-Up Area?

Built-Up Area includes the Carpet Area + Internal Walls + Balconies. It represents the entire enclosed area within your apartment but does not include shared spaces like lobbies, lifts, or staircases.

Formula for Built-Up Area:

Built-Up Area = Carpet Area + Walls + Balconies

Why Built-Up Area Matters?

  • Helps buyers understand the total enclosed area of their apartment
  • Typically 10-20% larger than the carpet area
  • Includes balconies and internal wall thickness

Example:

If your Carpet Area is 1,100 sq. ft., your Built-Up Area may be around 1,300-1,400 sq. ft.

3. What is Super Built-Up Area?

Super Built-Up Area includes Built-Up Area + Common Areas such as lobbies, lifts, staircases, clubhouses, corridors, and shared amenities. Developers use this measurement to calculate the total cost of an apartment.

Formula for Super Built-Up Area:

Super Built-Up Area = Built-Up Area + Common Areas (Lobbies, Elevators, Clubhouse, etc.)

Why Super Built-Up Area Matters?

  • The price of an apartment is usually quoted based on Super Built-Up Area
  • Helps buyers understand the additional space provided by amenities
  • Includes a proportionate share of common facilities

Example:

If the Built-Up Area of your apartment is 1,400 sq. ft., the Super Built-Up Area might be 1,700-1,800 sq. ft., including shared amenities.

4. Key Differences Between Carpet Area, Built-Up Area & Super Built-Up Area

Factor Carpet Area Built-Up Area Super Built-Up Area
Definition Usable floor space inside the apartment Includes Carpet Area + Walls + Balconies Includes Built-Up Area + Common Amenities
Includes Bedrooms, Living Room, Kitchen, Bathrooms Carpet Area + Walls + Balconies Built-Up Area + Lobbies, Elevators, Staircases
Excludes Walls, Balconies, Common Areas Common Areas like Lobbies, Staircases NA
Size Ratio Smallest measurement 10-20% more than Carpet Area 20-30% more than Built-Up Area
Pricing Impact Lower cost per square foot Medium cost per square foot Higher cost per square foot

Understanding these differences helps buyers accurately compare properties and ensure they are getting the best value for their investment.

5. How to Choose the Right Home?

Before purchasing a property, consider the following:

  • Check RERA Carpet Area: As per RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority), developers must disclose the Carpet Area of apartments
  • Compare Carpet Areas: Always compare Carpet Area to ensure maximum usable space.
  • Ask for Built-Up & Super Built-Up Area: Understand how much space is allocated to walls and common areas.
  • Evaluate Price per Sq. Ft.: Compare pricing based on Carpet Area instead of Super Built-Up Area for better clarity.
