Four Home Configurations at Casagrand Kumbalgodu

Carpet vs super built-up — the one primer every buyer needs

In Bengaluru, almost every developer advertises Super Built-up Area (SBA) — the number that includes the apartment's internal walls, the proportionate share of common corridors, lift lobbies, staircase landings, and part of the external walls. The legally meaningful number under RERA, however, is the carpet area — the usable floor inside your apartment, measured wall-to-wall. For Casagrand Kumbalgodu, the 1,175 sqft 2 BHK SBA will translate to a carpet area in the 760–810 sqft band; a 1,810 sqft 3 BHK Superior will deliver roughly 1,160–1,240 sqft of carpet. These ratios are typical and should be treated as indicative until the project's RERA carpet-area sheet is reviewed.

Why this matters: when comparing Casagrand Kumbalgodu with another project in the same micro-market, always normalise to carpet area or to price-per-carpet-sqft. Two projects advertised at "1,175 sqft 2 BHK" can deliver very different livable spaces depending on their loading factor. The project team will share the carpet sheet on request — ask for it before the site visit, not after.

2 BHK + 2T — 1,175 to 1,455 sqft (the anchor product)

This is the configuration most buyers will consider, and the one on which the project's value thesis most clearly rests. At 1,175 sqft, the 2 BHK comfortably accommodates a master bedroom (typically 12' × 14'), a second bedroom (10' × 12'), a shared living-dining of 16' × 12', an efficient kitchen with utility access, and two toilets — one master-attached and one shared. At the larger 1,455 sqft variant, you get a genuine third space: a larger living area, a bigger second bedroom usable as a nursery or study, and often a small balcony off the living room.

At Rs. 86.22 Lakhs all-inclusive for the 1,175 sqft, the effective per-sqft cost (including all other charges and GST) works out to ~Rs. 7,340/sqft SBA. For a 760–810 sqft carpet delivery, that is ~Rs. 10,640–11,350/sqft on carpet — which sits below the per-sqft anchors of comparable 2 BHKs in Kengeri, RR Nagar and Rajajinagar.

3 BHK + 3T Superior — 1,810 to 1,890 sqft (the volume product)

With 344 of 504 units, the Superior 3 BHK is the true volume product — Casagrand has designed the project around this configuration. The extra 200-plus sqft over the Affordable buys three specific things: a larger master bedroom with room for a small walk-in or dressing corner, a separate living and dining arrangement rather than a combined hall, and a meaningful second balcony off the living room that functions as an outdoor-seating zone rather than a utility strip. For a multi-generational household (working couple, two children, grandparents on weekend visits), the Superior is the configuration that removes friction — the Affordable handles the same brief but with tighter movement geometry.

Floor-plan reading checklist — what to actually look at

Floor plans can feel abstract until you apply a concrete reading checklist. Use these six diagnostics every time. First, the living-to-bedroom ratio: does the plan allocate the right share of sqft to the shared living-dining space vs the private bedrooms? In a 1,175 sqft 2 BHK, a good plan puts 380–420 sqft into living-dining and 280–320 sqft per bedroom, with the balance as utility and bathroom space. Second, wet-area stacking: bathrooms and kitchens should stack vertically across floors for efficient plumbing — plans that split wet areas across the floor plate tend to have higher post-handover maintenance issues.

Third, window-to-wall ratio in each room: aim for 15–20% of the floor area as glazing in bedrooms and 18–25% in living-dining. Fourth, circulation efficiency: the ratio of corridor and lobby to usable floor — good mid-market plans run under 8% corridor; plans above 12% are signalling inefficient design or an odd land parcel. Fifth, furniture fit: can a 72-inch sofa, a six-seater dining table, and a queen-size bed with side tables fit into the rooms as drawn without crowding the doors? Sixth, storage: does the plan explicitly allocate utility, linen and cloakroom space, or is storage an afterthought? For the Casagrand Kumbalgodu typologies, the 2 BHK at 1,175 sqft and the 3 BHK Superior at 1,890 sqft score well on all six diagnostics; the 3 BHK Affordable at 1,595 sqft is slightly tighter on the third-bedroom-to-utility geometry and benefits from an early walk-through of the sample flat to confirm lived-feel.
