Carpet Area vs. Built-Up Area vs. Super Built-Up Area: What’s the Difference?
Apr 12, 2025If you’re in the process of buying a home, you’ve probably come across terms like Carpet Area, Built-Up Area, and Super Built-Up Area. While they all refer to the space in your home, each one represents a different measurement — and knowing the difference can save you from overpaying or misunderstanding what you’re actually getting.
Carpet Area is the actual usable space inside the walls of your apartment — basically where you can lay a carpet. It includes bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms, but excludes walls, balconies, and common areas.
Built-Up Area includes the carpet area plus the thickness of the inner walls and balcony. On average, this is about 10–20% more than the carpet area.
Super Built-Up Area (also known as saleable area) adds your share of common spaces like staircases, lobbies, lifts, and amenities. Builders often quote prices based on this, making it seem like you’re getting more space than you actually use.
Understanding these terms ensures clarity and helps you compare properties fairly. At ONLYNEW, we believe in complete transparency — so you always know what you're investing in.
