Suggested Office Size: 400–600 sq ft
Setback Calculation (BNBC 2020)
For Commercial Use in Municipal Areas (Plot > 3,000 sq ft)
Road width ≥ 80' → most favorable category
Front Setback: 6 ft
Rear Setback: 4 ft
Side Setbacks:
1 side road present → one side 6 ft, other can be 0 ft (built to
boundary)
Direction Setback
Front 6 ft
Right 6 ft
Left 0 ft
Rear 4 ft
FAR & Maximum Floor Area
For commercial use in a municipal area with a road ≥ 80 ft:
FAR = 5.0 (maximum)
Buildable Floor Area = Plot Area × FAR
= 30,000 × 5.0 = 150,000 sq ft
(total built-up area allowed)
Maximum Number of Floors
Floor Plate ≈ 90% of the site area after setbacks
Effective footprint ≈ 200' × 150' minus setbacks:
Front/rear: 200' – (6' + 4') = 190’
Side: 150' – (6' on one side) = 144’
Floor plate ≈ 190' × 144' = 27,360 sq ft
Max Floors = Total Built-up / Floor Plate= 150,000 / 27,360 ≈ 5.48
5 full floors allowed(6th floor possible if footprint is reduced or
uses terrace)
