About the units
Square metres. The square metre is the SI coherent unit of area, formed from the metre, and a legal unit throughout the EU. It is the measure for floor areas, land areas and pricing by area. A full-size football pitch is 100–110 by 64–75 metres, so 6,400–8,250 square metres. One square metre is 10.76 square feet. The common slip is to read a square metre as a metre squared: ten square metres is an area of ten square metres, not a square ten metres on a side.
Square feet. A square foot is the square of the international foot and therefore exactly 0.09290304 square metres. It is the measure for floor and office areas in the US and partly in the UK, while in the EU it may appear only as a supplementary indication. A thousand square feet is 92.9 square metres. The factor against the square metre is 10.76, the square of 3.28, and it is one of the conversions where guesses go furthest wrong. American areas from before 2023 may rest on the old survey foot.
