How to Convert Meters to Feet
feet = meters × 3.28084
1 meter = 3.28084 feet (exactly 3 feet 3.37 inches)
To also express inches: take the decimal part of feet and multiply by 12. Example: 1.8 m = 5.906 ft → 5 feet + (0.906 × 12) = 5 ft 10.9 in.
Common Use Cases in Construction
- Ceiling height — standard 2.4 m = 7.87 ft (often listed as 8 ft)
- Door height — standard 2.1 m = 6.89 ft ≈ 7 ft
- Floor-to-floor height — typically 3–3.5 m = 9.8–11.5 ft
- Pile depth — 10 m = 32.8 ft
