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.

This unit is fundamental in real estate, construction, architecture, and interior design globally.
