m² and the length and breadth are taken as outside dimensions from wall to wall of superstructure
m³ and the length, breadth and height are taken as inside dimensions from wall to wall of superstructure

Answer 1

Explanation:

Flooring quantity is measured in square meters (m²), which represents the area of the floor.
The length and breadth for measuring the flooring are taken as the inside dimensions of the room, from wall to wall of the superstructure. This ensures that the area being measured corresponds to the floor space inside the walls where the flooring material is applied.
Height is generally not involved in the calculation of flooring area unless there is a requirement for volume calculations, such as in the case of raised floors or for materials like concrete flooring.

Additional InformationTypes of Flooring Measurements:

For tiled flooring, the measurement is based on the total area covered by tiles, excluding any spaces like doorways or areas not covered by the flooring.
For wooden or vinyl flooring, measurements are usually taken from wall to wall, inside the room, and may include allowances for any cutting or wastage.
For raised flooring, the area may be calculated similarly to conventional flooring but might involve adjustments if the height of the floor needs to be factored into the design or material estimate.
