Hi all
Can anyone show how one calculates size and to put some perspective.
When someone says i have a home 150sq m how is that expressed in squares x square.
Secondly if you measure the rooms how does one work out the total to a gross size to check it is correct.
eg bedroom 3*3 etc
Where do measurements start from…does it include say the BIR in the bedrooms.
regards
alfHi, My name is Mike and I have been associated with building contract sales since 1975.
The answer to your question regarding size is: the area enclosed by the external walls of the building. That is the building is measured around its EXTERNAL walls. Some creative types will give a square meterage “under the roof” which means they have calculated the area measuring around the perimeter of the eaves. With, say, a 600mm (2ft) overhang on a dwelling of say 8m X 12m = 96sqm, + 600mm X 20m would add a non existent 12sqm to the supposed size of the dwelling, giving a total of 108sqm. Areas usually include carports/garages and laundry unless otherwise stated. Valuers are normally concerned with the area of the property as one of the measures or means of quantifying the market value of the property.
In commercial leases, the total rent per sqm also often includes the walls and other unusable “space”.
Hope this is not too long, and adequate at the same time. Mike.Thanx Miek
welcome to this forum.
So is the term squares and square meters interchangable (as in the same)?Cheers

If you divide the sqm by 9.2 that will give you the squares.
RoboWouldn’t want to be using that system for ordering carpet

Is some-one able to explain why the two different measures? Why have sqm and squares (@ sqm/9.2)?
Sorry to be so slow.Cheers
