▪ AMBF = Allowable max. building footprint ▪ TGFA = Total gross floor area ▪ A volume quantity ▪ Determine the AMBF
▪ Footprint expressed in square meters
▪ Includes all enclosed floor areas, no exceptions ▪ In the simplest sense, ▪ Determine the BHL (in meters)
▪ GFA = Gross floor area
▪ Total enclosed floor area (including balconies) ▪ AMVB = Allowable max. volume of building ▪ Building bulk = Footprint x Height ▪ AMBF x BHL = Building bulk
▪ Excludes the following enclosed areas: ▪ OFB = Outer faces of the building ▪ However, the Code prescribes several different

METHOD 2: FLAR METHOD 2: FLAR


▪ FLAR : Floor to lot area ratio ▪ Building bulk = Footprint x Height
▪ Total floor area / lot area ▪ To get footprint:
▪ For example, a FLAR designation of 1.50 means that a ▪ FLAR x TLA = Total floor area
lot measuring 100sqm may accommodate a building
whose total floor area is 150sqm. ▪ Total floor area/Number of storeys = Footprint

▪ In a way, FLAR tells us how many lots can fit inside the ▪ Hence, building bulk is equal to:
building. ▪ [(FLAR x TLA)/number of storeys] x BHL

METHOD 3: AMVB
1. AMBF x BHL = initial AMVB (“prism”)
2. Superimpose the angular plane originating from
the RROW onto the “prism”
▪ Angular plane: a plane originating from the RROW that
establishes the outer limit for walls and building
projections.
3. Use the angular plane to reduce the volume of
the prism. This is the AMVB.
