TryBuildCalcPlot Area Verification Checklist
🕒 Last updated: June 22, 2026
Essential Checklist+−
Complete these critical checks before approving the work or proceeding to the next construction stage.
✓9 Inspection Points
✓3 Verification Categories
✓Measurement and Input+-
- Dimensions were physically measured on site with a tape — not taken from sale documents or property cards.
- All four boundary lengths were measured independently — opposite sides of a plot are rarely equal.
- For irregular plots, the plot was divided into triangles or rectangles and each section measured separately.
- Dimensions were entered in the correct unit — do not mix metres and feet in the same calculation.
- For quadrilateral plots, the angle or diagonal entered matches the site geometry — not an assumed 90°.
✓Unit Conversion+-
- The output unit matches what is required — sq ft, sq m, sq yards, cents, guntha, or bigha as applicable.
- Local land units (Guntha, Cent, Marla, Bigha) vary by state — the correct regional definition is used.
✓Legal and Site Verification+-
- The calculated area was compared against the area stated in the title deed or 7/12 extract — discrepancies must be resolved before construction.
- Setback and road-widening reservations were identified — these reduce the usable plot area below the total area.

- All four boundary lengths were measured independently — opposite sides of a plot are rarely equal.
- For irregular plots, the plot was divided into triangles or rectangles and each section measured separately.
- Diagonal measurements were taken to verify right angles on rectangular plots.
- Dimensions were entered in the correct unit — do not mix metres and feet in the same calculation.
- For quadrilateral plots, the angle or diagonal entered matches the site geometry — not an assumed 90°.
✓Unit Conversion+-
- The output unit matches what is required — sq ft, sq m, sq yards, cents, guntha, or bigha as applicable.
- Local land units (Guntha, Cent, Marla, Bigha) vary by state — the correct regional definition is used.
- 1 Guntha = 101.17 sq m (standard); 1 Cent = 40.47 sq m; 1 Bigha varies by state — confirm the regional value before use.
- For legal or sale purposes, area was cross-checked against the registered sale deed or survey map.
✓Legal and Site Verification+-
- The calculated area was compared against the area stated in the title deed or 7/12 extract — discrepancies must be resolved before construction.
- Setback and road-widening reservations were identified — these reduce the usable plot area below the total area.
- The corner markers or boundary stones are clearly visible and undisturbed on site.
- For large or disputed plots, a licensed surveyor's measurement supersedes tape-measure calculations.
- FAR (Floor Area Ratio) and ground coverage calculations use the net plot area after deducting road reservations.
- Municipal approval drawings show dimensions that may differ from the actual site — always verify on ground.
