Carpet, Built-Up & Super Built-Up Area: Key Differences

Understanding carpet area, built-up area, and super built-up areas is crucial when buying a property. Carpet area is the net usable space inside a home. Built-up area includes carpet area plus external walls and balconies. Super built-up area adds shared spaces like lobbies and staircases. Always compare these before purchasing.

How to Calculate UDS, Carpet, Built-Up, and Super Built-Up Areas

Understanding real estate terms like UDS, Carpet Area, Built-Up Area, and Super Built-Up Area is essential when buying a property, especially apartments. These concepts help you evaluate the space you're getting and avoid potential confusion. Let's break down these terms to help you make an informed decision.

Undivided Share of Land (UDS) Undivided Share of Land (UDS) refers to the portion of the total land that belongs to you when you purchase an apartment. You don’t just own the unit; you also own a share of the land the building stands on. For example, if you buy an apartment in a complex with 10 units and the total land area is 10,000 sq. ft., your UDS will be 1,000 sq. ft., as you own 10% of the total land.

UDS becomes important in situations like redevelopment or demolition, as the value of your share of the land can be significant even if the building no longer exists. It also plays a role in determining the resale value of your property.

Carpet Area Carpet Area is the actual usable area within your apartment, excluding the thickness of the inner walls but including spaces like bedrooms, the kitchen, and bathrooms. This is the area where you can lay a carpet, hence the name.

Formula: Carpet Area = Total Built-Up Area – thickness of the walls

For instance, if your apartment has a total area of 1,000 sq. ft. and the walls take up 100 sq. ft., the carpet area is 900 sq. ft. (1,000 – 100 = 900). The Carpet Area is crucial for buyers as it shows the actual living space inside the apartment.

Built-Up Area Built-Up Area includes the Carpet Area, plus the thickness of the walls and balcony space. It is generally about 20-30% more than the Carpet Area.

Formula: Built-Up Area = Carpet Area + wall thickness + area of balcony

Continuing from the previous example, if the walls take up 100 sq. ft. and the balcony adds 50 sq. ft., the built-up area would be 1,050 sq. ft. (900 + 100 + 50 = 1,050). The Built-Up Area provides a broader sense of the space within your property.

Super Built-Up Area Super Built-Up Area is the Built-Up Area plus your share of common areas like staircases, lobbies, and amenities like the gym or clubhouse. This is the "saleable" area, often quoted by builders.

Formula: Super Built-Up Area = Built-Up Area + (Percentage of Common Areas × Built-Up Area)

If your Built-Up Area is 1,050 sq. ft. and your share of common areas is 150 sq. ft., the Super Built-Up Area will be 1,200 sq. ft. Developers often price apartments based on the Super Built-Up Area, so it's important to know the actual usable space you're getting.

Summary:

UDS: Your portion of the total land. Carpet Area: The actual usable area within your apartment. Built-Up Area: Carpet Area + walls + balcony. Super Built-Up Area: Built-Up Area + common areas.

Understanding these areas helps you make better real estate decisions and avoid misunderstandings about space. Always ask for clear details from developers, and consider the efficiency ratio (Carpet Area/Super Built-Up Area) to assess how much usable space you're truly getting.

Embracing Armchair Urbanism: Understanding the Built Environment

In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, the study of urbanism has become increasingly relevant. As an armchair urbanist, I find myself captivated by the intricate dynamics between inhabitants and their built environment. This term refers to individuals who take a keen interest in urban areas, their design, and the way people interact with them. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of…

Hey there, just read your concept for how you would replace building in TotK with Hookshot mechanics and it sounds really cool!

Like, sure Building was fun, but as you said before, it really doe not fit this game/world and just broke to many parts of it.

To get to my actual question, would the Hookshot be aimable in slow-motion while falling, similar to how Bow & Arrows work?

Because I am now imagining Sky-Islands surrounded by lots of small floaty rocks, some of them so far from each other (or moving) that the player has to hook to the closest one, climb up, get a run up, jump, glide towards the next one, and then let go of the glider, whip out the hookshot, and hook onto the next rock.

Heck, you could have an entirely airborne Gleeock Bossfight this way, similar to som of the Bosses in Twilight Princess!

Thanks as always for sharing your ideas with us!

yeah! its not too hard to imagine right? and i feel like it would have fit so well and be much easier to balance for botws world

maybe you have seen it before but i did make an ability concept for it before (some info on this wouldnt be for the botw2 style rewrite im focusing on now bc i made this originally as part of the villain rauru idea, but the abilities and how they work remains the same)

maybe the way to pull yourself towards somethign or it to you wouldnt be a single button press but instead a holding one, so if you wanna hook and immedaitely be pulled there you can just streamline it via holding the button until you are there (i know holding down a button can be rly straining but botws control scheme doesnt have a lot of it so i think using it here wouldnt be too bad .......... less painful thatn the totk arrow menu thats for sure lol)

(can i just say i really like the the infusion idea for abilities too, like ... wouldnt it be so cool to find broken shiekah tech and using it just because and then it WORKS, like theres a guardian wreck and you get on top and use infuse and it springs to life to move out of the way of a doorway for example, other structers you could use similar to twilight princess copy-staff but in a more modern interpretation??)

the building jsut breaks the game too much, and imo not in a fun way like cheating in a way definitely not intended or glitched, its like a 10 piece picture puzzle but you are also given a button that assembles it for you and you get the same reward anyway, that doesnt count as multiple solutions like it worked in botw, its like they gave up and just gave you (multiple) skip buttons, since not only rocketshields but also the 'move thing and reverse it' are like that, and you cant tell me they didnt realize that (also id argue that even without skipping puzzles, alot of them arent fun either, like its mostly either insultingly simple building tasks the game tells you outright what to do .. or just hands it to you .. or you know what to do immediately and the puzzle part comes from you having to deal with clunkily glueing stuff together until it works, which i found pretty frustrating)

ANYWAY thanks for liking what im doing!!! if i wasnt so slow and art blocked so much id have way more to show already, and text alone usually isnt that interesting :,)

Hey so I’ve mentioned this a lot of times on my main blog, but I wanted to put this out over here since it is Hallow’s Eve. I always give out little tchotchkes on Halloween along with candy. This year, I’ve completely switched over to 100% doohickeys and doodads— think mechanical pencils, shaped erasers, little notebooks, squishes, vampire teeth and spiders rings and all. It started years ago in college when I signed up for a dorm Halloween event where kids from an area that was too dangerous to really trick or treat through got bussed in to trick or treat at our dorm. I bought some candy and dollar store Halloween themed stuff with what i had. And you know what the kids went ape shit over?

Motherfucking. Mechanical. PENCILS!!

These kids could not get enough of them. They literally went “PENCILS??!” I had never seen kids get so hyped up for pencils lmao. They were the first things to go. Candy is fleeting; the little pencils you can bring to school to flex are eternal, until you inevitably lose one of the refill parts and then they aren’t but listen, in that one moment they are infinite. And its nice thinking that maybe some kids who don’t always have access to school supplies not only get them, but get them in fun shapes and designs.

Anyway. I recommend people to give out fun stuff like this not just because kids seem to genuinely enjoy them, but also because there’s this thing called the Teal Pumpkin Project here in America. You can put out a teal pumpkin to show that you are giving away non-candy items and sign your address up so parents of children with allergies know that there are houses their kids can safely and happily trick or treat at! It’s a win-win! Plus, if you accidentally bought too much, it’s not like candy— just pack it away, pencils and fidget spinners will be good next year, too! :)

Hi everyone -- if you're a Sims 4 player, you may have seen that, back at the beginning of April, EA did a surprise SDX drop with various Pride-rated Build/Buy objects and CAS assets! I'm not sure why they did this in April, but I'm not going to say no to more fun Pride stuff in the game. :) Anyway, I hit my current building save a couple of weeks ago to check out the new stuff, which resulted in some updates to the Polyheart OT3 House and a mini-dress-up session with one of the Valicer trios living in my Library. And I figured it was about time I got around to sharing the results of that playsession with all of you! :) Let's start with the house and the new Build/Buy stuff I added all around the shop --

Bedroom – Checking out the new “Burst of Pride” beds (single and double versions) out on the front lawn by the pool (oh yes, the house now has a pool! A heart-shaped one no less) led me to realize that I’d never actually checked out any of the non-base-game loft bed options for the trio’s bed set up! (As a reminder, this is a double bed tucked under a loft bed (inspired by this "third wheel" bed), with the idea that the lower bed is for everybody, but the upper bed is for Alice should she want to sleep alone but not alone alone.) So, in the hopes of finding something better than the sad little metal-framed base-game loft bed I was using, I took a look through my options from Horse Ranch, Werewolves, and Growing Together. There were definitely some fun patterns and colors in there (lots of great stuff for a kid’s bedroom in particular), but in the end I ended up going with the “Cormac Pine Bunk” bed from Horse Ranch that had a nice red-and-black swatch that I thought went pretty well with the red-and-black theme of Alice’s personal room. I mean, it’s supposed to be HER bed in particular, so, yeah. I then swapped out the High Schools Years double bed I was using as a base for the “Burst of Pride” double bed in the pansexual swatch – it was bright and colorful, AND that particular swatch was the closest match for having all the trio’s colors (yeah, it’s yellow, blue, and PINK, but I’ve used pink for Alice elsewhere in the build, so…). So now the trio has some new beds! That’s nice! :)

As for the rest of the room, while I didn’t change the position of the rugs or the furniture or anything, I did rearrange the wall decorations a bit – after trying and failing to put the “Colorfully Eclectic Wall Gallery” somewhere in there (it was just a TINY bit too big for the space they had available), I ended up putting the calendar and wall clock in slightly different places above the dresser (the calendar closer to the door, the wall clock closer to the side wall), and swapping the positions of one of the poster collections and the painted-records-and-CDs collection – now the former is on the wall next to the bed, beside the other big poster collection, and the latter is on the wall beside the bathroom door, behind the hamper and the big corner plant. Just thought it looked a bit better, and the plant doesn’t cover up the painted CDs and records like it did the poster collection, so extra bonus there! :)

Left-Hand Hallway – Just added the new “Knitted Pride Flag” wall hanging to the wall here, beside the big picture of the lady with the wacky hair and across from the door to the trio’s bedroom – went with the most inclusive version of the flag, of course, with the rainbow stripes, Black pride and trans triangles, and intersex symbol. *nods* Nice. :D

Living Room – I ended up putting the “Colorfully Eclectic Wall Gallery” art in here instead, on the wall beside the game table (it contains a clock among all the various bits of art, so I figured it would be handy there). The trio of bird pictures that was in that spot previously ended up going on the wall behind the TV, as that seemed like the best spot for them – meaning the big bright fancy mural I had there had to go somewhere else because now it was a little too covered up for my liking. I ended up sizing it back up one and putting it on the outside wall by the pool, because I thought it looked good there and was a bit of fun. I REALLY wanted to put it on the wall next to the outdoor dining table, near the grilling area (which also now exists), but the game wouldn’t let me because that’s where the straight wall transitions to the curved one, and apparently it wasn’t fully supported by the wall there. (I have since "bb.moveobjects on"-ed it to the spot by the table where I originally wanted to place it -- you'll see it there when I do a proper update on what I've been doing to the yard around the build! For now, enjoy the sneak peek at the heart-shaped pool. :D <3 )

Front Foyer – Another simple one – I replaced the base game wall-mounted coat rack I had in there above the shoe rack with the “Out & About Wall Shelf,” since that has a coat, bag, and lanyard dangling from it, meaning it looked like it belonged perfectly in that space. :D And yes, I went with the “pansexual” swatch again, because it reamined the best match for the trio’s colors. *nods approvingly* (And also, I mean, Smiler IS pansexual as well -- I just lean into the nonbinary stuff for them because that's the flag that matches the coaster's colors.)

Smiler’s Room – Speaking of which – as my last action, I replaced the regular nonbinary flag they had up on their wall with the new “Pride Rocks! Collage” in the nonbinary swatch (because that sort of photo collage with a flag signed by their friends is EXACTLY the sort of thing they’d have on their wall)! Though, uh, after fiddling with their wall decorations for a bit to see where it looked best, I ended up REDOING THE PATTERN OF YELLOW-AND-BLACK-STRIPES ON THEIR WALLS just so I could get the darker-themed side of the collage on a yellow stripe and the lighter-themed side on a black stripe by their computer, because that’s where and how it looked best. *shakehead* Not like it was the hugest deal to swap the stripes, but seriously, Vic. You couldn’t just live with it the other way? (Survey says: “no, I like it much better like this.”)

*nods* Nice stuff, right? I really like these new objects and decorations -- they're very fun, and they suit this particular house to a tee. And I'm definitely using that "Pride Rocks! Collage" deco in any place my Smiler lives going forward. :) But how did the CAS items rank in my estimation? You'll find out in the next post!
