If you have been in the real estate industry or construction industry terms like ground coverage, FAR and FSI must be easier for you to understand. But when it comes to a common man like me or anybody else, these terms are a little bit difficult to decipher. On my quest for a perfect abode, I was thrown these terms quite frequently. So I wanted to know what they mean and I used to hear a lot that calculations for ground coverage and FAR are important for construction. So I started looking at these things and found out the ground coverage formula. I am going to share it here.Ground Coverage Formula: How to Calculate Ground Coverage Area (5)What is ground coverage area?Before jumping into anything else, I would like you to know what this is. Ground coverage area is the built up area at ground level, i.e. ground level immediately above the plinth. It is calculated as a percentage.How to calculate ground coverage area?The ground coverage formula is as follows:Ground coverage area = (Maximum built up area at any floor / Plot area)x 100The maximum ground coverage as prescribed by MoHUA is as follows:Residential plots

  • For a LIG plot of 30 sq mt: 75%
  • For a LIG plot of 30 to 50 sq mt: 75%
  • For a normal housing plot of 50 to 250 sq mt: 65%
  • For a normal housing plot of 250 to 500 sq mt: 55%
  • For a normal housing plot of 500 to 1000 sq mt: 45%
  • For a normal housing plot of 1000 to 1500 sq mt: 40%
  • For a normal housing plot of 1500 to 2250 sq mt: 33 ⅓

Group housing for min plot size of 2250 sq mt: 35%You can find ground coverage details for commercial properties on the official website of MoHUA.

I like what Mr Kamal has pointed out about plot coverage calculation. What he has pointed out is correct. The formula to calculate ground coverage is:(Maximum built up area at any floor / Plot area)x 100He has also pointed out that the permissible ground coverage is stated by MoHUA. I won't further explain the guidelines. But I would like to explain what is FSI or FAR is, which I feel is related to this question.Check out the properties on NoBroker and save lakhs on brokerage!The floor area ratio (FAR), or floor space ratio (FAR) determines the maximum floor space that can be constructed on a piece of land. The ratio between the building’s total construction area and the land area is the FAR.There are some building construction FSI guidelines.

  • The FSI value for building a house on a plot which is less than 80 sq.m and the road width below 6m is 1.37 to 1.43.
  • For a multi-storeyed building, the FSI can range between 2, 3, and 5. The area of the plot should be 1200 sq.m to 15,00 sq. m.
  • If the road width is less than 10m and the area of the plot is less than 660 sq.m then the FSI would be 1.0 to 1.8. This is valid for both residential and commercial plots.
  • Generally, the value of FSI should range between 1.25 to 3 in metropolitan cities.

The formula to calculate FAR is:FAR= Total area of building/ total area of the plot.The Ground coverage area is the ratio of the maximum allowed build-up area on ground level to the total area of the plot. This is ground coverage meaning.In this context let us know how to find a built-up area:Plot Area x FSI = Built-up areaThis was all about plot coverage calculation in a nutshell.Read more:How to calculate built-up area from FSIHow to calculate FSI and TDR.

Embarking on a construction project, I found myself grappling with the intricacies of ground coverage area calculation. It's not just about numbers; it's about optimizing space intelligently. Here's a comprehensive guide, combining my personal journey with expert insights.

How To Calculate Coverage Area Of A Building?

Personal Insight: In my case, I was designing a compact backyard retreat. Determining the ground coverage was crucial to strike the right balance between functionality and aesthetics.

  • Ground Coverage Calculation Formula:
    • Personal Experience: I started by measuring the total plot area and deducting spaces occupied by structures like the house and garage.
    • Expert Insight: Ground coverage is calculated by dividing the total built-up area by the total plot area and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

GCR=(Total Plot Area/ Built-up Area)×100Coverage Area Calculation for Building:

  • Personal Experience: For the main structure, I considered both the footprint and any projections like balconies.
  • Expert Insight: Every city has regulations on the permissible ground coverage for a building. It's essential to adhere to these norms.
  • Consideration of Open Spaces:
    • Personal Insight: I left ample open space, thinking about future gardening projects and a potential play area for kids.
    • Expert Advice: Many local authorities encourage green spaces and have guidelines on the minimum open area required.

Balancing the practicalities of regulations with the personal touch of individual preferences, I achieved a ground coverage that not only adhered to norms but also created a harmonious living space.Smart Ground Coverage – Maximizing Space, Enhancing Lifestyles.Read More:How To Calculate Irregular Land Area in Square FeetHow to Calculate Plot Area of Land
