Méteralapú

Méteralapú is a Hungarian term that translates to "meter-based" or "based on meters." It is most commonly used in the context of construction, surveying, and engineering to describe a pricing or measurement system that is calculated per linear meter of a project or material. This approach is distinct from per-unit pricing or square-meter pricing, focusing specifically on the length of something.

In construction, for instance, a company might quote a price for laying a fence or installing piping on a méteralapú basis. This means the final cost will be determined by multiplying the agreed-upon price per meter by the total length of the fence or pipe installed. Similarly, in land surveying, certain measurements or services might be billed méteralapú, reflecting the distance covered by the survey.

The term emphasizes a linear measurement as the primary factor for calculation. It is a straightforward method that allows for clear and predictable costing when dealing with projects that are primarily defined by their length. This system is efficient for tasks where the width or depth is relatively constant or less significant to the overall cost.
