When computing the quantity of flooring in a room, the area is measured as:
Choose the correct answer
External dimensions of walls only
Clear floor area between walls (internal dimensions of the room), without deduction for columns or fixtures unless area of each column exceeds 0.1 m2
External area of the building
Area including the thickness of all walls
Correct Answer
B. Clear floor area between walls (internal dimensions of the room), without deduction for columns or fixtures unless area of each column exceeds 0.1 m2
Why is this the answer?
CPWD measurement: flooring = net area between walls (internal dimensions). No deduction for areas < 0.04 m2; deductions for columns, pillars, piers > 0.04 m2. Skirting measured separately in running metres. Different rates for different flooring types (tiles, marble, mosaic, PCC, etc.).
