Folks...Just beware of this grp sahil serene in Baner...I visited last weekend..and found that they are charging 30% over Carpet and .625 of terrace....This is ridiculous...Beware and be aware of these builders..

tsongt

do we have such % figures of other projects? For e.g, in PS area i found a 1000 sq ft project where the GK builder is not ready to tell me the carpet area. If I sum up the room dimensions, it comes to 30% as well.

Add to the list Felicita at Baner, just at the start of Baner-Pashan link road opp Hotel Mahabaleshwar.

G.K builder has atleast 28% loading. If you ask him the carpet area he will tell you its 20% less than built up area. This is misleading. Always calculate the loading taking into account the carpet area and not the built up area.

E.g. Assume the built up area is 1000 sqft. This means according to him the carpet area is 800 sqft and 200 sqft is the loading. Now do a forward calculation and you will find that the loading is actually 25%

I cancelled the plan to book here because of above reason only..

I would like to know the method i follow to calculate the area of flat is correct or not. Plz let me know if i m wrong.

Carpet = From the floor plan get the dimensionds of all the rooms (kitchen, bedrooms, living, baths).

Built-up = Carpet + 25% of Carpet
Saleable area = built-up + half of the terrace.

Am i correct?

This is because of trickly maths calculation.

e.g. if you have built up 100 sq ft flat and builder say .. I am adding only 25% so the actual carpet area is 75 sqft.

but it is incorrect. if your carpet area is 75 sq ft and 25% of 75 is 18.75 hence your built up area should be 93.75 and if it is 100 then it means 33%.

All the best.

yeah my builder also did calculation like that only...

He has given me Carpet Area = 80% of total saleable area

But actually it should be like Total saleable area=120% of carpet area

And you dont believe by doing this reverse calculation, I got that actual loading is almost 30% in my case, but on paper he told its 20% by this reverse calculation....So, you should also be clear how the loading is calculated.....

I think we all should avoid buying from such builders to teach thm a lesson...

mahesh pune

Salebable area = (Carpet of rooms, bathrooms, lobby + 1/2 carpet of terrace) * 1.25

If you are not sure ask builder to show agreement of previous booking of similar flat as now days agreement is don on carpet.

Also if carpet is mentioned in sq meter 1 sq mt = 10.7639 sq feet.

I hope it will help you.
