About Square Meters
A square meter (m²) is the SI derived unit of area, equal to the area of a square with sides of one meter. It is the standard worldwide for measuring room sizes, apartments, houses, and land plots. A king-size bed occupies about 4 m², a parking space is roughly 12-15 m², and a small apartment might be 50-60 m². This unit is fundamental in real estate, construction, architecture, and interior design globally.
About Marlas
A marla is a traditional unit of land area used in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, equal to 30.25 square yards (approximately 25.29 m²) - effectively the same as one square rod. In Pakistan's land registry system, 20 marlas equal one kanal and 8 kanals equal one acre. Despite metrification, marla remains the dominant unit for measuring residential plots and urban land in Pakistan. Property listings in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad routinely quote plot sizes in marlas, making it essential knowledge for anyone dealing with South Asian real estate.
