Carpet area vs floor area.

Well if you are a civil engineer you must know how to read a floor plan of a building. Carpet area is the area that can actually be covered by a carpet or the area of the apartment excluding the thickness of inner walls. As the name suggests carpet area means the space where you can lay a carpet in the flat like a bedroom living room hall while calculating the carpet area exclude the wall thickness utility area and shaft area. For example underneath kitchen units or in the bathroom.

Carpet area is the actual area you get for use in a housing unit. Adding to this confusion is the practice among some developers to use gross leasable area gla and gfa interchangeably or to use. On the other hand the risers of steps. Gross floor area gfa in real estate is the total floor area inside the building envelope including the external walls and excluding the roof.

These will contribute to the floor area but not the carpet area. If it is good or very good feel happy that you are not bluffed you bought a flat from a good builder. To make it ease in the plan we use so. A good plan gives a better idea of whole structure in single sheet.

If your carpet area efficiency is poor or very poor then you might have been bluffed by your developer builder or otherwise the planning design of the apartment flats is really very bad. Carpet area does not include the space covered by common areas such as lobby lift stairs play area etc. Some areas will not be carpeted. In simple terms any floor level which is below the normal floor level will be excluded like the bathroom utility area excluding.
