Architectural Layouts and Square Footage Calculations

In Indian urban design, master plans and municipal sanction drawings quote total land allotment in square yards while detailing floor plans and room dimensions in square feet. Multiplying square yards by 9 provides the total ground footprint.

Standard Allotment Plot Footprints

100 sq yd = 900 sq ft (30×30 ft). 150 sq yd = 1,350 sq ft (30×45 ft). 200 sq yd = 1,800 sq ft (30×60 ft). 250 sq yd = 2,250 sq ft (35×64.3 ft). 500 sq yd = 4,500 sq ft (50×90 ft).

Mathematical Proof

Since 1 yard = 3 feet, 1 square yard = 3 ft × 3 ft = 9 sq ft.
