Building Planning and Drawing - 22405


A MICRO PROJECT ON PREPARING A REPORT
ON CALCULATIONS OF AREA

1.0 Brief Introduction/Rationale:


In the context of "Building Planning and Drawing," the calculation of area involves determining the
spatial dimensions of various elements within a building. This process is crucial for architects,
engineers, and other professionals involved in designing and constructing buildings. Here's a brief
introduction to the calculation of area in this context:

• Site Analysis:
o Before starting the building planning process, a thorough analysis of the site is conducted.
o Site area is measured, considering factors like setbacks, easements, and zoning regulations.
• Building Footprint:
o The building footprint is the outline of the building on the ground.
o The area of the building footprint is calculated to understand its impact on the site and to ensure
compliance with local building codes.
• Floor Area:
o Each floor within the building has a specific floor area, which is the total space available on that
level.
o Floor areas are calculated for various purposes, such as determining space utilization, planning for
furniture layout, and estimating construction costs.

• Room/Area Layout:
o Individual rooms or spaces within the building are measured to calculate their areas.
o This includes living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and other functional spaces.
• Circulation Spaces:
o Areas like corridors, hallways, and staircases are measured to ensure smooth circulation within the
building.
o Circulation space is an important consideration for accessibility and building functionality.
• External Spaces:
o Outdoor areas, such as courtyards, patios, and balconies, are also included in the area calculations.
o These spaces contribute to the overall design and functionality of the building.
• Building Envelope:
o The building envelope includes the exterior walls, roofs, and floors. Calculating the area of the
building envelope is crucial for materials estimation and energy efficiency analysis.
• Zoning and Regulatory Requirements:
o Local zoning regulations may have specific requirements for certain types of spaces or features,
affecting how their areas are calculated.
• Net and Gross Area:
o Net area refers to the actual usable space within a building, excluding areas like walls and corridors.
o Gross area includes all spaces, including walls and circulation areas.
• Computer-Aided Design (CAD):
o Modern building planning often involves the use of computer-aided design software for accurate and
efficient area calculations.
Accurate area calculations are fundamental to creating a well-designed and functional building while
ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations. These calculations support various stages
of the construction process, from initial planning to the final construction phase.
