Valuation
In a valuation report from Spain for translation to British English.
m2c and m2s are used throughout a valuation report. I am pretty clear that these mean:
m2c - superficie construida en metros cuadros
m2s - superficie de suelo en metros cuadros
so built area and land area, but these abbreviations appear in lots of tables, meaning there is little space for a wordy translation each time. Is there an equivalent English abbreviation in this area for m2c? and m2s in parallel?

I normally avoid abbreviations, but it sounds like you need them here.
You have to decide how you want to translate them - there are many possibilities - and then invent your own abbreviation.
If you're sure your interpretation of the Spanish abbreviations is correct, I suggest built square metres, BSM, and land square metres, LSM.
Obviously, the first time you use them, you should say what they stand for.
