Don’t Confuse Linear and Area Factors
A common mistake is to use the linear factor (3.28) when converting areas. Because area grows with the square of length, you must use 10.7639 for square units, 35.31 for cubic meters to cubic feet, and so on. Using the wrong factor underestimates a floor plan by about a factor of three.
