A house type is a term used to categorize homes based on their building area. This number makes it easier for you to narrow down your options based on your needs and even estimate whether the price is reasonable. Meanwhile, you can calculate the house type yourself, as explained in detail below.
A house type is a term used to categorize homes based on the building area in Indonesia. The size is expressed in numbers such as Type 24, Type 45, Type 60, Type 72, and so on.
Therefore, when a developer refers to a "Type 60" house, it basically means a house with a building area of 60 m².
Because the information is limited to the building size, the house type does not fully describe the actual condition of a home. As a result, two Type 60 houses can have different floor plans, numbers of floors, land areas, and room sizes.
It is a good idea to know your house type, especially before making a transaction. Here are three reasons why.
The house type can give you an initial idea of how large the building being offered is.
For example, if you need more space for a large family, a Type 60 or Type 72 house could be a suitable option. Meanwhile, for a more compact home, you can consider a smaller type.
However, the number is still not a complete reference. For example, a Type 60 house does not guarantee the same number of bedrooms or room sizes from one house to another.
For example, there are two houses both offered as Type 60. You can immediately know that they have the same building area and then compare other factors such as:
Land area
Floor plan
Number of floors
Unit position
Facilities
Meanwhile, the difference in building area between Type 45 and Type 72 is clearly visible.
House types also help you compare prices. A house cannot be assessed based solely on its total price. The building area and land area also determine whether the asking price is reasonable or not.
For example, a Type 45 and Type 60 house may have the same land area but different building areas. This difference clearly needs to be considered when comparing their prices and layouts.
You can actually calculate the house type yourself. Here are four ways to calculate the size of a house type.
With this method, you simply need to pay attention to the features of the house, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, garage, family room, and garden.
From this list, you can get an idea of the scale of the house. The more complete the facilities, the larger the scale of the house you can estimate.
In addition, the size of a house can be estimated from its price. Houses with larger buildings and land areas tend to have different prices compared to smaller houses.
However, price should not be used as the only reference, as many other factors also determine it, such as:
Location
Road access
Unit position
Area facilities
Building age
Material quality
Market conditions
Therefore, the same price does not guarantee that two houses have the same building area. Conversely, the same house type does not guarantee that the prices will be the same.
You can get a more accurate house type by calculating the size of each part of the building.
If the house has a simple shape, such as a square or rectangle, you can calculate its area by multiplying the length by the width. Therefore, a building that is 10 meters long and 5 meters wide has an area of 60 m², which falls into the Type 60 category.
For houses with irregular shapes, divide the building into several simple sections. Then, calculate the area of each section and add them together.
AutoCAD is used to create floor plans or building drawings. Once the building shape has been drawn, the area can be calculated using the area measurement feature in the software.
The advantage is that you can measure complex building shapes without having to calculate each section individually. The measurement data can also be saved as a drawing. So, if there are design changes later, the data can be adjusted more easily.
However, using AutoCAD does not guarantee that the measurement results will be accurate. If the measurements you entered at the beginning are incorrect, the calculated area will also be incorrect. In other words, accurate results require accurate data and drawings.
You can find various house types and sizes on the market. After understanding that the number in a house type refers to the building area in square meters, you can read each type as an indication of the building's scale.
With a building area of 24 m², this house is considered quite small. Because the building area is limited, the space needs to be arranged as efficiently as possible.
This type can be found in simple housing developments and is generally aimed at buyers with basic space requirements, such as one bedroom, one bathroom, and a multifunctional living room that often also serves as a kitchen.
One of the most common house types in Indonesian housing developments is Type 36, with a building area of 36 m². This size is sufficient for several basic spaces, such as bedrooms, a bathroom, a family room, and a kitchen, although the rooms are still relatively compact.
This 45 m² house type has approximately 9 m² of additional space compared to Type 36. As a result, the floor plan can be arranged more flexibly. The additional space can be used to enlarge or add rooms according to the house design.
A house of this size offers more spacious rooms compared to Type 36 or 45. Developers can also create a floor plan with more spacious individual rooms or divide the building into more rooms.
The building area of a Type 60 house is approximately 60 m². With this size, you have enough flexibility to accommodate several bedrooms and a more spacious shared living area.
Compared to Type 60, this type has an additional 10 m², providing more flexibility in arranging the space. You can also accommodate the need for more rooms or larger rooms.
In some designs, this area may allow for a two-story house. However, Type 70 does not always mean a two-story house. A single-story house can also have a building area of 70 m².
With a building area of 120 m², Type 120 has a much larger scale compared to the previous types.
If you have been living in your house for a long time and want to know its actual type, you can easily check the house documents.
For a purchase from a developer, look for documents such as the house booking form, sale and purchase agreement, unit brochure, or handover documents. These documents usually contain information about the house type, building area, and land area.
If the old documents are lost or the information is unclear, try measuring the house yourself and use the formula discussed earlier.
If clear information about the house type and facilities is an important requirement for you when making a transaction, choose a home from Jakarta Garden City as a trusted developer.
One example is Vastu, which comes in three types:
V7 (2 floors), with a building area of 140 m²
V7+ (3 floors), with a building area of 194 m²
V9 (3 floors), with a building area of 250 m²
All three have a large scale, making them spacious enough to accommodate essential rooms as well as additional spaces for the family.
In addition to their large scale, Vastu also stands out because the cluster offers complete facilities:
Clubhouse
Jacuzzi
Garden
Children's playground
Multipurpose room
Single-access gate
24-hour security system
Green area
Clear information about the house size and facilities will save you time when looking for information. It can also help you avoid the hassle of trying to calculate the house type yourself using the methods above.
