स्क्वेयर मीटर से स्क्वेयर फीट: अंतर्राष्ट्रीय रियल एस्टेट गणना

It's purely psychological - larger numbers feel more impressive. A 100 m² apartment sounds smaller than 1,076 ft², even though they're identical. This marketing psychology is one reason the US property market retains square feet. Some developers exploit this by advertising in whichever unit makes the property sound larger.

Think of common references: A parking space is about 12 m² (130 ft²). A tennis court is 261 m² (2,808 ft²). A king-size bed occupies about 4 m² (43 ft²). A typical bedroom is 12-16 m² (130-172 ft²). One square meter is roughly the area of a large dining table.

No, measurement standards vary significantly. Some countries include walls in floor area, others don't. Balconies might count as 0%, 50%, or 100% of their area. In the US, measurements often include unfinished spaces like garages. In Europe, 'living space' typically excludes these. Always clarify what's included in any area measurement.

Both are equally accurate; it's about precision in measurement, not the unit used. However, metric is easier for calculations (everything is base 10). Construction materials in metric countries come in round metric sizes, while US materials are in feet/inches. Using the local standard prevents conversion errors and simplifies material ordering.

Varies by culture and purpose. Minimum housing standards: Hong Kong allows 4 m² (43 ft²) per person, while Sweden requires 25 m² (269 ft²) for a single person. Office space: 8-10 m² (86-108 ft²) per worker is typical. Retail: 1.5-2 m² (16-22 ft²) per customer for comfortable shopping.
