Ramp gradients, lift car sizes, door widths and accessible sanitation — the Harmonised Guidelines as they apply here.
Ramp slope ≤1:12, individual runs ≤9.0 m with 1.5 m landings, width ≥1.5 m, handrails at 760 & 900 mm both sides, non-slip finish.
CPWD Harmonised Guidelines §5 — verify — and 5 related rules below.
Ramp slope ≤1:12, individual runs ≤9.0 m with 1.5 m landings, width ≥1.5 m, handrails at 760 & 900 mm both sides, non-slip finish.
| Slope ratio | 12 |
| Max run m | 9 |
| Landing m | 1.5 |
| Width m | 1.5 |
Where a lift is required, at least one car ≥1.1 × 2.0 m (13 passenger) with 0.9 m clear door, Braille buttons at 0.9–1.2 m, audio announcement.
| Car w m | 1.1 |
| Car d m | 2 |
| Door m | 0.9 |
Clear door width ≥0.9 m on accessible routes; 1.5 m Ø wheelchair turning circles at lobbies and corridor ends; corridor ≥1.5 m on accessible routes; tactile guiding paths at entrances.
| Door m | 0.9 |
| Turning m | 1.5 |
1 accessible bay per 25 car spaces (min 1), 3.6 m wide, nearest to the accessible entrance, signed.
| Per cars | 25 |
| Bay w m | 3.6 |
Public/commercial areas: at least one wheelchair-accessible WC 2.2 × 2.25 m with grab bars and outward/sliding door.
| W m | 2.2 |
| D m | 2.25 |
Lift mandatory for more than 4 storeys + 1 parking floor, with promoter-funded power backup for lift and lighting.
| Storeys | 4 |
Computed live by the same engine that produces the drawings — not a stored example.
Drawn square for clarity. A real tatima is not square — that is what the tracer is for.
| Regime | Appendix-1 (General Building) |
| FAR | 1.75 |
| Setbacks (F / R / sides) | 3 / 2 / 2 m |
| Buildable footprint | 319 m² |
| Height cap | 21 m |
| Storeys | 3 |
| Permissible built-up | 875 m² |
| Parking required | 9 ECS |
500 m² × FAR 1.75 = 875 m² permitted. The 319 m² footprint over 3 storeys could hold 956 m², so FAR is the binding constraint — the height allowance is not fully usable here.

Rules change and we would rather hear it from you than have somebody build to a stale number. No account needed.
Trace your tatima and these 6 rules — and the 74 others — are checked against your actual boundary, with the number behind each verdict.
