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.
