RERA Carpet Area Verification

Under RERA Act 2016, carpet area is the net usable floor area of an apartment, excluding area covered by external walls, exclusive balcony or verandah area, exclusive open terrace area, and common walls. It includes area covered by internal partition walls of the apartment. Our measurements precisely follow this definition.

Builders sometimes deliver less carpet area than promised in the sale agreement. Even a 2-3% shortfall in a ₹1 crore apartment means ₹2-3 lakh discrepancy. RERA requires builders to disclose carpet area, and any shortfall entitles buyers to proportionate refund. Verification before possession gives you evidence to make a formal claim.

Industry data suggests 3-8% discrepancies are not uncommon. For a 1000 sq ft carpet area apartment, this means 30-80 sq ft could be 'missing'. At current property rates of ₹5,000-₹15,000 per sq ft in metros, this represents ₹1.5 lakh to ₹12 lakh in value that homebuyers unknowingly lose.

Yes, under RERA Act 2016, if the actual carpet area is less than what was sold to you, you are entitled to a proportionate refund or price adjustment. Our certified measurement report serves as evidence for your RERA complaint or direct negotiation with the builder.

Included in carpet area: all rooms (bedrooms, living, kitchen), corridors/hallways within the apartment, and internal walls and columns. Excluded: external walls, balconies/verandas, open terraces, common walls with other apartments, service shafts, and common areas. Our measurement clearly categorizes each space.

RERA carpet area verification typically takes 30-45 minutes for a 2BHK apartment as part of a comprehensive home inspection. We measure every room systematically using laser meters, calculate areas, and compare against the builder's disclosed carpet area. A detailed certified report is provided.
