Problem:

TLA=1,500sqm
Frontage=30m
Through Lot without firewall

TLA (TOTAL LOT AREA)

AMBF sqm (Allowable Maximum Building Footprint)/

PSO percentage

1. BASE ON PSO TABLE (NBCP)

*AMBF= TLA x (PSO TABLE/Refer to Table VIII.1 Rule 8)
Example: R5 without firewall, TLA= 1,500sqm
AMBF= 1,500 x 70% = 1,050sqm

2. BASE GIVEN DATA/ACTUAL

*Plot the given setbacks in the problem
Example:
TLA=1,500
Frontage=30m
The client wants the front setback to be 10m, 6m for the
side and rear.
AMBF= 540sqm
3. SETBACK METHOD
*Plot the setbacks (Refer setbacks from Table VIII.2 and
VIII.3 Rule 8)
Example: R5 without firewall, TLA=1,500, Frontage 30m
AMBF=912sqm
EXAM QUESTIONS:
1. What is the actual AMBF?
a. 912 sqm
b. 540sqm
c. 1,050sqm
d. 450sqm
 2. Base on the PSO table what is the AMBF?
a. 912 sqm
b. 540sqm
c. 1,050sqm
d. 450sqm

3. Base on the NBCP what is the maximum PSO without

firewall?
Answer: 70%

What is the PSO without firewall?

Answer: (Base on the stringent AMBF)
PSO=AMBF/TLA
PSO= 540/1,500
PSO= 36%
ISA (IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREA)
(cemented area, paved area etc)
*R5 w/out firewall

1. BASE ON PSO TABLE (NBCP)

*ISA= TLA x (Refer to Table VIII.1 Rule 8)
ISA=1,500sqm x 20%
ISA= 300sqm

1. BASE ON PSO TABLE (NBCP)

*USA= TLA x (Refer to Table VIII.1 Rule 8)
USA= 1,500 x 10%
USA= 150sqm

2. BASE GIVEN DATA/. ACTUAL

*ISA= Y2+Y3+Y4 *USA= Y1
Problem:
TLA=1,500
Frontage=30m
Through Lot without firewall
The client wants the front setback to be 10m, 6m for the
side and rear.
ISA= 360sqm. / 24%
USA= 600sqm. / 40%
3. SETBACK METHOD
*Plot the setbacks (Refer setbacks from Table VIII.2 and
VIII.3 Rule 8)

*ISA= Y2+Y3+Y4 *USA= Y1

*ISA= Y2+Y3+Y4 *USA= Y1

USA (UNPAVED SURFACE AREA)

(grass, landscaped etc)
 2. BASE ON PSO TABLE (NBCP)
*USA= TLA x (Refer to Table VIII.1 Rule 8)
USA= 1,500 x 10%
USA= 150sqm/ 10%

3. BASE GIVEN DATA

*USA= Y1

4. SETBACK METHOD
*ISA= Y1

MACA (MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CONSTRUCTION AREA)

*MACA= PSO+ISA (Based NBCP)
MACA= 70%+20%
MACA= 90%

*PSO= AMBF/TLA
= (540/1,500) x 100
= 36%
*MACA=PSO+ISA (Actual/ based on given data)
MACA= 36%+24%
MACA=60%

MACA= 540sqm + 360sqm

MACA=900sqm

TOSL (TOTAL OPEN SPACE WITHIN LOT)

*TOSL= ISA+USA
1. What is the TOSL base on the Table VIII.1?
TOSL= 20%+ 10%
TOSL= 30%

What is the actual TOSL of the project?

TOSL= ISA + USA
TOSL= 24% + 40%
TOSL= 64%

GFA (GROSS FLOOR AREA)

*GFA= TLA x FLAR
GFA= 1,500sqm x 9
GFA= 13,500sqm
TGFA (TOTAL GROSS FLOOR AREA)
TGFA1= TGFA x TLA
TFA1= 18 x 80% x 1,500
TGFA1= 21,600sqm

TGFA2= GFA x MULTIPLIER

TFA2= 13,500sqm x 1.2
TGFA2= 16,200 sqm

*base on NBCP/ PSO table

TGFA3= BHL x AMBF
TGFA3= 18 x 1,050sqm
TGFA3= 18,900 sqm

*base on Given Data

TGFA3= BHL x AMBF
TGFA3= 18 x 540 sqm
TGFA3= 9,720 sqm

*base on Setback Method

TGFA3= BHL x AMBF
TGFA3= 18 x 912sqm
TGFA3= 16,416 sqm
