Is door jamb area included in carpet area

Q: Builder is asking extra money for door jamb area equivalent to 10 sqft increase in saleable area. this has come after revision in the plan. Before revision the carpet area was 473 sqft w.r.t saleable area of 686 sqft. Now the carpet area has become 479 sqft and saleable area 695 sqft. My question is that looking into the roomwise dimensions notified in the builders plan the difference is coming in -ve i.e. less by 1sqt in carpet area. then how come the builder is demanding for door jamb area, whereas earlier before revision of plan this same door jamb area would have been considered. kindly give your valuable advise on this matter.

Door jamb is included in the carpet area - although we would not like it to be. The builder includes this in his plan submission to the BMC

well as per my knowledge the door jam area is calculated under the carpet area of the house.. but it should not take 6 sq ft of area. you can ask your builder for clarification and further breakdown.

Carpet area is only the area which is within the outer four walls of a house.. so as far as i know the door jamb area should not be calculated.
