🔄 Marla to Square Feet Converter
Plot sizes in Pakistan are quoted in marla, but construction costs, covered-area rules and most listings work in square feet. This converter bridges the two: 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft at the standard measure.
Alongside square feet you also get gaj (square yards), kanal and square metres for the same plot.
