Why does FAR (floor area ratio) or FSI matter for architects, engineers and contractors in India?
FAR limits set by local building bye-laws decide how much can be built on a site, so it drives feasibility and design. Rules on what counts towards FAR vary between authorities, so checks must follow the applicable bye-laws.
What is an example of FAR (floor area ratio) or FSI?
On a 500 m² plot with a permitted FAR of 2.0, up to 1,000 m² of countable floor area can be built.
