Hi, I had booked 3BHK apartment in DS Max Sukruth for my Sister and the carpet area are dircrepancy foyer’s carpet area(18 sqft) and they are overriding the carpet area in living room, but the builder is not agrred to accept the fault and not to agree to change the carpter area from 861 sqft to 843 sqft as well built up area 1325 sqft to 1275 sqft(hypothetical)
Summary of FLate Details analysed by one of Civil Engineer:
Flats: 3BHK at DS Max Sukruth
Reported Carpet Area(in Agreement & Brochure): 861 sqft
Reported Built-up Area(in Agreement & Brochure): 1325 sqft
Discrepancy Found: 18 sqft in the living room’s carpet area due to the inclusion of the foyer’s carpet area.
Actual Living Room Area(without discrepancy): 10’-0" x 15’-9"= 157.5 sqft
Steps to Address the Discrepancy:
Calculate Actual Carpet Area:Given that the discrepancy is 18 sqft, the actual carpet area excluding this discrepancy should be recalculated.
Calculate the Adjusted Built-up Area:Since the carpet area discrepancy is 18 sqft, we need to adjust the built-up area accordingly. The exact relationship between carpet area and built-up area can vary depending on the project specifications. However, generally, the built-up area is a larger figure that includes walls, balconies, and other spaces in addition to the carpet area.
Calculation(Hypothetical Approach):
Original Carpet Area(Reported): 861 sqft
Actual Carpet Area(After Removing 18 sqft): 861 sqft - 18 sqft= 843 sqft
Built-up Area Adjustment:If the built-up area is directly proportional to the carpet area, then the built-up area should also be reduced proportionally.Using this proportion, the reduced built-up area can be calculated as:New Carpet Area)
