PRINCIPAL OF PLANNING
A building must be planned on paper and on the architect drawing before construction of that building is undertaken. Residential building such as bungalows, apartments, township and public building such as post office, banks, cinema theaters, and railway station require rigorous planning before construction activity is undertaken. In the planning process some basic principles are involved which are known as Principle of planning. Principle of planning involves planning for meeting the following requirements also:
1. Orientation- aspects and prospects
2. Privacy
3. Grouping
4. Circulation
5. Roominess
6. Sanitary convenience
7. Flexibility
8. Elegance
9. Economy

INTRODUCTION TO BYE-LAWS
During planning and construction of any building, certain restrictions are laid down by municipal bodies, urban development authorities and other government departments as town planning trusts related to clear spaces to be left round the buildings, permissible height of building, permissible construction areas etc. Hence the proposed plans of buildings are to be prepared according to these bye-laws which are checked and approved by above authorities. Minimum provisions designed from national building code by various authorities to protect the safety of the public with regarding to structural sufficiency, fire hazards and health aspects are called building bye-laws.

Numerical on f.s.i,
carpet area.
1. Calculate total built up area and No. of floors from given data
a) Plot dimension = 40mx60m
b) Front and Rear open space is15 & 5 meter respectively
c) Side open space is 5meter
d) F.S.I. = 2
Solution :-
FSI = Built up area
Plot area
2.0 = Built up area
2400
Built up area = 4800 m2
2. Built up area at each floor
= 30 x 40 = 1200 m2
3. No. of floors = Total built up area
Built up area at each floor
= 4800
1200
= 4 floors (G+3).
So, No. of floors = 4 (G+3).
