yes you are correct. The plinth area should be measured as per Revelent IS Code. Ie. outer to outer of wall ( not slab). It is tricky market no specific guidance is arrived for measuring at professional level. Better arrive the quantity to be executed to the specified plan . you will arrive 100% perfect price for labour a well as labour and negotiate with the contractor. I have seen in this form most of the members negotiating pricing with out actual pricing or value of work excuted.
