Sample Calculation of FAR, No. of
Stories and Floor Area

Say, plot size = 5 katha (3600 sft) Residential building, road width = 6 meter. From table, FAR = 3.5; MGC = 62.5%
So, total floor area = 3600*3.5 = 12,600 sft Allowable ground coverage = 2250 sft
So, no. of stories = 12600/2250 = 5.6
Total stories = 5.6+G.F = 6.6

Say, if building will be constructed of 7 storied.
Then area of per floor = 12600/6 = 2100 sft
If 6 storied building is constructed,

Area of per per floor = 12600/5 = 2520 sft. But max ground coverage = 2250 sft. So, area will be 2250 sft.

Front side balcony can be constructed and its length will be 30% of front side and width will be
1 meter (maximum).

Other Important Tables

• Car parking facility ( parking area)
• Driveway and turning radius for parking.
• Minimum parking areas for buildings.
Minimum unrestricted stair width
• Floor height
• Internal front space (for light and air)
• Minimum dimension for airwell and lightwell.
Distance of electric lines
• Floor requirement per head
• Width of exit per head
• Maximum no. of people and maximum distance of movement for exit Width of stair of fire exit
• Buildings with single exit
