Square metres to square feet converter
Area conversion matters twice on a project: reporting gross floor area to a client in their own units, and pricing drafting work per unit area. Both are handled below, including the rate flip that catches people out — a price per m² is smaller than the same price per ft², not larger.

Questions
How many square feet in a square metre?
10.7639 ft². Take care with rates: $2 per m² equals about $0.19 per ft², not $21.53.
Which unit should I quote drafting work in?
Quote in the client's own unit and state it explicitly on the proposal. Published TaskBider rate bands are hourly, which avoids the issue entirely on complex packages.
