Good to know
metres = feet × 0.3048. For feet and inches, first convert to decimal feet: 5 ft 9 in = 5 + 9/12 = 5.75 ft = 1.7526 m.
Room and plot sizes in India are usually quoted in feet (for example a 30 × 40 ft plot), while building plans and RERA documents use metres and square metres.
Ceiling heights: a typical 10 ft ceiling is 3.05 m. Remember that area needs the square of the factor (1 sq ft = 0.0929 m²), so use the area converter for sq ft.
