Plastering area (surface area) = length x height (m^2) for one face of a wall. Per IS 1200 Part 14, plastering is measured as the actual plastered area in m^2. Deductions are made for openings (doors, windows) above 0.5 m^2; additions for reveals, jambs, and soffits if not measured separately. Area = length × height = 15 m².
