📐 Construction Ratio (FAR) Index
Topic: Property | Category: Residential | Group: Development & Future Potential**
Description
The Construction Ratio (FAR) Index measures the Floor Area Ratio (built area vs land area) around the property.
What the Index Measures
This index evaluates:
- local FAR limits
- how much of the land is already developed
- development intensity
- potential for vertical or horizontal expansion
Higher scores = higher allowable development density
Lower scores = restricted density
Numeric Scale & Quality Interpretation
Same 1–3 → 1–999,999 numeric range.
Examples:
- 19/20 = high-density potential
- 11/20 = moderate
- 4/20 = low-density or strict controls
Accuracy: Large scales capture fine differences in zoning intensity that matter enormously to developers.
Why Numeric Scales Matter
FAR determines expansion limits; numeric scoring turns this complex regulation into a single meaningful value.
How This Index Saves You Time
Avoids checking zoning tables, local regulations, and complex ratio calculations.
AI Insight Example
“This parcel sits in the top 10% for development density potential.”
