therefore plinth area is a better comparision[/quote
Dear abk,
I feel one should really look at the real floor space i.e., the carpet area which is the usable area for the living rather than the plinth area which includes the wall thickness also. Does it matter anything more if the partition wall is 9" instead of 4.5" as long as the foundation is pucka made as per the civil construction practices/norms. Today, I saw an advt. in a web site of a Builder at Perumbur, whose flats give only about 60 to 62 % of carpet area of the superbuilt up/chargeable area which is too low and the buyer will be paying more if he chooses to buy a flat from this builder. Any prospective buyer should not either feel shy or be ignorant to check on this aspect of carpet area as a % of the saleable area and work out the rate/sq. ft. of carpet area when he compares different projects to select the most economical one. More views are welcome.

i am making a point that if a person was buying a 1000 sq ft 2BHK flat then he should compare carpet area of a 1000 sq ft 2 BHK flat of another builder and should compare the walls.what i am trying to say is not whether 9" or 4.5" walls are better but you should normalise the parameters concerened- the common areas too, a good lobby is important which would addd up to the common area where as a small builder would give only a passage wide enough to pass one person-some prefer their bedrooms to be recessed from the living which would entail a passage, again addition of area.
the builder is handing over to you the plinth area, say if you decide to take off all the walls what is the area you get is the question which answers your rationale for paying that much.the interior planning is your option.the value for maoney is indicated by the plinth area.which is also the area taken up for valuation and cost of construction estimates for your flat.offcourse the common areas do add to the value.as they are shared and the individual should decide what he needs and what is not needed.'A' does not need a swimming pool or a gym 'B' does.carpet area is subject to variation in design and plan.
