    Default Basics of condos

    Hi all,

    Is there a website where I can learn several basic stuffs; e.g. what is plot ratio, gross floor area, how do these affect the number of units that can be built and the maximum height of buildings, what is strata-title, etc.

    Please don't flame me if these have been asked and answered before; I did try to google around and search but can't really find anything.

    Many thanks,
    learning...

    Plot ratio is the ratio used to calculate the Gross Floor Area (GFA) of a plot of land.
    e.g. Land size (plot size) = 100,000 sqft. Plot ratio = 2
    Therefore GFA = 100,000 sqft x plot ratio 2 = 200,000 sqft
    A developer will theoretically be able to build up to 200 units of 1,000 sqft in size.

    also to add ... Plot ratio will determine how high it can go ..
