What is Carpet Area?
By Property Point Advisory·Updated September 2026
In short
Carpet area is the actual usable floor area inside your home — wall-to-wall, excluding external walls, balcony and common areas. RERA mandates that prices are quoted on carpet area, not super built-up.
Good to know
Built-up area adds the wall thickness and balcony; super built-up adds a share of common areas (the 'loading').
A loading factor of 25–35% is common — always ask for the carpet-area price to compare projects fairly.
