Built-up Area: The entire area of the floor – the carpet area, walls, lobbies, corridors, atrium areas and basement. It is advisable to cross-check with respective builders/agents the specific meaning of these terms, for colloquially the term may include varying components across different cities in India.
Carpet Area: The usable area within the walls – that is , the area in which you can actually lay a carpet.
Super Built up Area: This refers to the entire area of the building which includes the carpet area, lobbies and corridors, walls, lifts, staircases basements, and other atrium and utility areas. It is advisable to cross-check with respective builders/agents the specific meaning of these terms. This is because like the built up area, colloquially, different components make up a super area in different cities across India.
