Building coverage ratio建筑密度
Explanation
The maximum usually falls as plots get larger: small urban plots may be built almost fully, while large plots must keep more open ground. Detailed zoning for an area may be stricter than the general code.
Coverage is not the same as floor area ratio, which divides the total floor area of all storeys by the plot area.
How Home Check uses it
Questions
Does a light well count toward coverage?
An open light well is often excluded from the footprint, but the exact method follows local rules — check before applying for a permit.
What is the maximum coverage?
It depends on plot size, building type and the zoning plan. Check the detailed plan and the current code where you build.
