Quick start

Pre-check a G+2 house on a 12 × 18 m plot in Bihar that faces a 9.1 m road, with an 80 m² floor plate and 3 m storeys.

  1. On New building, set State / authority to Bihar.
  2. In the card headed Plot — 4 sides, type Length (m) as 12, 18, 12 and 18 for Side A→B to Side D→A. Set the sides to face N, E, S and W.
  3. On Side A→B only, type Road width (m) 9.1. Leave the other road widths blank.
  4. Under Close the shape, keep Diagonal A→C (m) at 21.63, the diagonal of a 12 × 18 m rectangle.
  5. Under Proposed building, keep the plotted-residential Occupancy. Type Built-up area per floor (m²) 80, clear Tell me the maximum floors, then set Floors to 3 and Floor height (m) to 3.
  6. Select Check compliance. While Live is ticked, the plan also redraws as you type.
