What Is Fsi and Carpet Area

FSI = Total covered area on all floors / Plot area. Example: Consider a structure of 10 floors. Let the area of each floor be 6000 sq ft. So the total covered area on all floors will be 6000 x 10 = 60000 sq ft.

How is FSI area calculated?

It is calculated by dividing the total covered built-up area on all floors of a building by the area of the plot it stands on. For instance, if you have 1,000 square feet of land on which you want to build a residential or commercial building and the FSI in your locality is 1.5, then you could build up to 1,500 sq.

What is FSI area?

The abbreviation stands for Floor a Space Index; also referred to as FAR (Floor Area Ratio). In simple terms, FSI is the maximum permissible floor area, that a builder can build on a particular plot/piece of land. FSI is the ratio of building floor covered area to area available on the land.
