URBAN PLANNING THEORY

THE RATIO OF SKYWARDS GROWTH.

Building height is primarily governed by the Width of the Abutting Road (Access Way). Wider roads allow for higher density and verticality, ensuring safe evacuation and adequate daylight penetration into urban canyons.

What is Building Height Calculator?

Determine permissible building height based on road width and zoning restrictions (UDPFI/NBC)

Technical Overview

Permissible building height depends heavily on the fronting road width and plot setbacks. This tool analyzes these constraints against NBC 2016 and UDPFI norms to provide the maximum buildable height excluding architectural features.

Common Questions

1
How is building height linked to road width?

Generally, the height of a building is limited to 1.5 times the sum of the road width and the front setback (approximate rule), but specific limits exist for high-rises exceeding 15 meters.

2
Does a terrace cabin count towards building height?

As per most DCRs, staircase headrooms and lift machine rooms on the terrace are usually excluded from the building height calculation.
