Setback Calculator.

Visualise plot boundaries and calculate required open spaces (front, side, rear) based on building height and DCR norms.

Plot & Building

Note: Setbacks calculated are indicative based on generic height-based rules. Always refer to specific local DCRs (e.g., DCPR 2034 for Mumbai) for statutory compliance.

Common Questions

1
What is the purpose of side setbacks?

Side setbacks are essential for ensuring fire-fighting access, cross-ventilation, and privacy between adjacent buildings.

2
Can setbacks be used for parking?

In some cities, open spaces (setbacks) can be partially used for parking or greenery, provided a 3-6 meter clear path for fire tenders is maintained.
