In a fast-growing metropolis like Gurgaon, understanding Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) is crucial when organising a construction project. The Floor Space Index (FSI), commonly referred to as FAR, determines the maximum buildable space on a particular piece of land.
For example, if your site is 1,000 square feet and the FAR is 2, you can build up to 2,000 square feet across multiple floors. The size, location and intended use of the plot (residential, commercial or mixed use) all impact the FAR requirements, which can be navigated by a trustworthy construction firm in a city.
These rules are established by the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) and other regional organisations to govern community planning, infrastructure and urban density etc.
When building in this fast-growing city, knowing the FAR can help you make informed decisions, maximise your investment, and stay away from legal hassles.
