Hi,
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is a term frequently being used in Real Estate and is one of the key determinants for development in the country. A low FAR, as is considered in the case of India is a deterrent to construction. The real estate industry has always been longing for a hike in FAR. The rapid urbanization has already put pressure on the limited land resources, especially in Delhi. Extra FAR would help developers with extra space and in meeting the demand and supply gap.
If we go by how developers see it, an increased FAR means they can build more, sell more and thus prices of projects could go down. However, this alone cannot cut down prices and it needs to be used judiciously, not abused.
We keep on getting various updates about increase in FAR or change in FAR in any particular city or residential area. Come lets know, what FAR is all about ?
Floor Area Ratio : What is it all about ?
Lets make it simple by saying in this way : Every city like any structure has a limited capacity in terms of resources and infrastructure. Beyond this capacity, it not advisable at all to put any additional stress on it. This capacity is known as FAR or Floor Area Ratio.
Floor area ratio (FAR), floor space ratio (FSR), floor space index (FSI), site ratio and plot ratio are all terms for the ratio of a building’s total floor area (Gross Floor Area) to the size of the piece of land upon which it is built. The terms can also refer to limits imposed on such a ratio.
How to calculate Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Is there any Formula for calculating Floor Area Ratio ?
Formula for calculating FAR is quite Simple. “Total covered area of all floors divided by the plot area.”
Floor area ratio = (total covered area on all floors of all buildings on a certain plot, Gross Floor Area) / (area of the plot).
For eg. – A real estate developer has a plot size of . and the FAR allowed is 105, in that case a building on 1500 can be constructed on this plot. It is the ratio of the total floor area in the building compared with the total plot area. The constructed area would include the basic structure, walls, staircase or lobby space.
