The covered built-up area measured at the basement’s floor level or any storey’s floor level is known as the Plinth area. It is the entire area occupied by the building including external and internal walls. In general, the Plinth area, also known as the built-up area, is 10 to 20 percent more than the carpet area. Do you know how to calculate the plinth area? If not, let me explain in simple terms.
Things to include while calculating the Plinth Area:Entire carpet area
External and Internal walls for air conditioning ducts, firefighting, telecom, electrical, sanitary, and plumbing services (they should not exceed 2 sq. m in area)
Area of walls at the floor level including the shared wall area that separates the 2 buildings. Part of the area of this wall is considered as built-up area
Based on the recess height. If it's more than two meters, then 100% of the area is included. If it’s one to two meters, then 50% of the area is included. If it is up to one meter, then 25% of the area is included.
