How does HDB calculate floor area of HDB flats ?

[Onitsuka]

I have always wondered if the figures given are true because they look really small despite the relatively big sqm.

Does HDB include the columns in its calculation ?

I am sure they use measuring tape.

Last time very silly. Now we measure first, then we lay the bricks. Like that no lugi.

which ministar would u like to come down to measure your floor for you and perhaps lie down on the floor and remark how comfortable and spacious it is and reminds him of his kampong days living in a shop house with 5 brothers and sisters.

In the future, HDB will include your corridor as part of the sq footage.

even that is shrinking.pretty soon they will make ur living room as part of the corridor.

First, they calculate the square footage using the most sophisticated measuring and survey equipment. then they add 20% extra to the square footage to honour their God Lee Con You. That is the final number used.

Excellent MO. It offers a very good ROI and keeps the paper value ridiculously high. Who say Sinkie no brain?
