Given a residential land parcel measuring 1000 square meters and an FSI of 2, how many stories can be built, considering that covered area on ground floor is limited to 250 square meters?

Concept:
Floor Space Index

• The Floor Space Index means the ratio between the area of the covered floor (Built-up Area) to that of the plot (land) on which a building stands. This numeric value indicates the total amount of area area (on all floors) you can build upon a plot.

$FSI=\frac{TotalFloorArea}{PlotArea}$

$No.ofFloor=\frac{TotalFloorArea}{Max.PlotCoverage}$

Calculation:

Given: Plot Area = 1000 m², FSI = 2, Maximum ground coverage = 250 m²

$FSI=\frac{TotalFloorArea}{PlotArea}$

Total Floor Area $=2\times 1000=2000m^2$

$No.ofFloor=\frac{TotalFloorArea}{Max.PlotCoverage}$

No. of Floors $=\frac{2000}{250}=8$
