Why it matters

If the allowed FSI is 2 and your plot is 1,200 sq.ft, the total floor area of all floors together can be up to about 2,400 sq.ft. FSI, setbacks and height together decide how many floors make sense on your plot.

How Elamentt handles it

We check FSI and setbacks at the first drawing, so the plan you fall in love with is one that can be approved.

Next step

See it on your
own plot.

Our studio turns your plot size into a plan, a 3D model built stage by stage, and a list of the cement, steel, bricks and sand it needs. Or ask an engineer.
