About Square Yard Units
A square yard (yd²) is a unit of area defined as the area of a square whose side measures one yard in length. Since one yard equals three feet (36 inches), this means a square yard is a square 3 ft by 3 ft.
Square yards are widely used in real-estate, land measurement, construction, and interior/design contexts—especially in countries with British/Imperial measurement heritage.
In practical terms, using square yards for moderate-sized plots or carpets gives a more manageable number than square feet, yet still remains easy to visualise for builders, buyers and designers.
Square Yard to Square Feet calculation formula
Square Feet = Square Yards × 9
For example:
If you have 10 square yards, the area in square feet would be:
10 × 9 = 90 square feet

About Square Feet Units
A square foot (sq ft) is a smaller unit of area measurement, widely used in the real estate and construction industries.
It represents the area of a square with sides of 1 foot each.
In India, square feet is the most popular unit used in property brochures, floor plans, and land registry documents.
Most apartments, plots, and office spaces are listed in square feet.
Whether you are calculating carpet area, built-up area, or super built-up area, square feet remains the standard unit.
The History of Square Yard
The square yard has its origins in British Imperial units and has been in use for centuries.
Historically, it was used in textile measurements and later became standard for land and real estate areas in countries that followed British measurement systems.
In India, square yard became widely accepted during British rule and continues to be used in several regions for property dealings and legal documents.
The History of Square Feet
The square foot originated from the foot-based measurement system used in ancient Rome and later adopted in Britain and other countries.
Over time, it became the dominant area unit for residential and commercial property measurement, especially in North America and South Asia.
In modern real estate, square feet is almost universally accepted in urban property markets for both residential and commercial spaces.
