• FSI is an abbreviation of the term Floor Space Index. It is also known as FAR ( Floor Area Ratio). This is the ratio of the total
permissible constructable area to the area of the plot. FSI/FAR varies from place to place and types of building ( residential,
mercantile, business, institution, worship etc). The FAR/FSI ratio is easily available in all the building bylaws for various cities
and municipalities.

• Built-up area (BUA) is a term used primarily in urban planning, real estate development, building design and the construction
industry.

and $3,955; upper middle-income economies are those with a GNI per capita of $12,236 or more.
