Default Excel Utility

Hi
I have created a simple utility in MS Excel whereby you can enter the dimensions of the room and it calculates the carpet area and compares with the super area.

Please provide your feedback.

Hey,

Just a question.

When builder says 1050 sqft apartment, is it a salable area or a carpet area?

By default they mean SUPER area. If its carpet area they will mention very clearly.

In India, flats are sold on Super Built Up area, which is also called as Saleable area.

Super built up area is an imaginary mumber, does not mean anything. In music system, there is a term called PMPO ... like 5000 Watt PMPO. This marketing number is just at the whim of the builder.

So look practically. What you need to do is, identify the key areas in your flat, like bed rooms, hall, dinning area, kitchen. Exclude all not important areas like balconies, receses, corners, dead ends, passages.

Now calculate the carpet areas of key areas only. Calculate Total Cost / Key Carpet Area and then compare different project.

The above calculation depends on you as some of the things are very subjective ... how you define a key area. Balcony may be a key area to someone and someone it is sheer wastage of space.

Total Cost / Key Carpet Area is the right way to compare cost A'pple to A'pple.
