Question

Carpet Area does not include the thickness of the inner walls.

(a) False

(b) True

The question was asked in homework.

My question is taken from Building Bye-Laws in portion Planning of Building and Colony of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) True

For explanation I would say: Carpet Area is the area enclosed within the walls, actual area to lay the carpet. This area does not include the thickness of the inner walls. It is the actual used area of an apartment. Built up Area is the carpet area plus the thickness of outer walls and the balcony.
