Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about area measurements and conversions

How accurate are these area conversions?
Our conversions use standard international conversion factors and are accurate to 4 decimal places. However, some traditional units like Bigha may vary slightly by region, so always verify with local standards for legal documents.
Which unit should I use when buying property?
Use the unit that's standard in your region. In India, square feet is most common for apartments, while acres or bigha are used for larger plots. Always confirm the unit used in legal documents and registration papers.
What's the difference between carpet area and built-up area?

How do I calculate the area of an irregular plot?
For irregular plots, break them into smaller regular shapes (rectangles, triangles) and calculate each area separately, then add them together. For complex shapes, consider hiring a licensed surveyor for accurate measurements.

Bigha is a traditional unit that evolved differently across regions. In Uttar Pradesh, 1 bigha = 27,000 sq ft, while in West Bengal it's about 14,400 sq ft. Always confirm the local standard when dealing with Bigha measurements.
