    Built-up area = carpet area + wall and balcony area.

    Super built-up area = built-up area + common area (area of lift and lobby).

    Carpet is an area which we use in daily life.

    The built-up area means an area which constructed up for a particular home or flat.

    The Super built-up area means the whole construction area of the building includes lift, verandah, lobby, etc.

    For better understanding, you must see this pic.

    T beam is used in frame structure or any special structure. If the load is low, then we should use a single RC beam. If load is intermediate, then we should use a double RC beam. If the load is very high, then we should use the T beam at the intermediate beam and L beam at the edge.
