44. Rules for Building Construction
To construct any kind of building or project, some rules should be followed regarding mandatory uncovered(open) space, set-back from boundary, ground coverage, FAR, etc. and the application of these rules will be
determined based on type of building use, width of road, density of traffic, population density, parking need,utility services, fire fighting, etc.
45. Mandatory Uncovered (Open) SpaceIn each plot, set-back from the plot boundary would be according to Rule 46 and uncovered space excluding
maximum ground coverage should be according to Rule 50.
46. Set-back from Boundary(1) Set-back or open space must be provided at the front, sides and back of each building and for thedefinition of front, sides and back of the plot, the explanation given in Appendix-5 will be applicable.
(2) Subject to the fulfillment of other conditions in these Rules, set-backs or open spaces at the front, backand sides of a building will have to be provided according to Table-2.

make the road 6m, during application of newly developed project, change and extension, undertaking
has to be given in writing about handing over half of necessary land (equal in both sides) to theassociated Authority and before this handover process is completed, application may be done for31Building Construction Approval, but even if the application is approved, building construction cannot
be started till the handover of land is completed.
(3) After giving the undertaking to give away necessary land for the road, the FAR, required set-back andmaximum ground coverage of the plot will have to be calculated based on the reduced plot size.
(4) In case of making the plot adjacent roads up to 6 m wide, in those directions where land needs to beleft, the road adjacent plots will obtain up to maximum 0.2 FAR benefit at the rate of 0.05 per plot forgiving away 0.3 m per plot and the mentioned FAR can be added as extra with the original FAR.
(5) According to the requirement of the Authority, to make the road more than 6m wide, even if extra
land needs to be given up, only the FAR benefit of giving up land for 6 m road will be obtained (forroads at each side, in case of land acquisition, up to maximum 0.2 FAR) and to calculate original FAR,
the width of the proposed road will be considered and extra FAR can be added to the original FAR.
(6) Minimum width of internal roads in housing area or complex developed by non-governmentorganization will be according to the Non-government Residential Project Land Development Rules,
2004 or according to regulations of other relevant set of Rules and if the road width of the residential

(7) To determine FAR of a land which has not been analyzed in Table-3, if width of road is 6m or morethan that, then to calculate FAR value and maximum ground coverage, maximum FAR obtained on thebasis of the road width or FAR obtained on the basis of land size, the one which is less of these two will
be applicable and the Table in which this mentioned calculated FAR value is shown, the associatedmaximum ground coverage of that Table would be applicable, but in case of road which has morewidth than the road shown in Table-3, for the extra road width, according to Rule 51 (11), obtainable
extra FAR will be applicable for the road.
(8) For all new connected roads, footpath is a must.
(9) At the front of the plot, If there is no footpath along the adjacent road, then the Applicant has toconstruct and maintain it if the Authority instructs about it and the associated Authority will provide
required process and size for this arrangement.
55. Edge Simplification(1) In case of unplanned areas, boundary wall or edge of fence of a plot located at the junction of tworoads will be round, or will be placed at a specific distance from the edge and will be of specific height
so that it will be adequate for the safety of those who would move in those roads.
(2) In case of unplanned areas, the radius of the junction of two roads will be depended upon road width
and traffic pattern and for this reason, 1.5 m X 1.5 m area of the corner plot should be kept free bothon land and at height and no construction work can be done there.

Different Parts of Means of EscapeThe means of Escape, which is the safe exit way when the building is in fire, has three parts which are: (a)Exit Access, (b) Exit and (c) Exit Discharge; Here, Exit Access means the pathway which leads to theentrance of an exit; Exit is that portion of the means of escape which is protected from the incidence of fire
and provides a safe path to the exit discharge; Exit discharge is the portion between the termination of exit
and the last wall of the area of safe refuge.
01.01 The parts of the Means of Escape may consist of any of the following exit components:(a) A doorway, corridor or passage connecting a stairway, smoke proof and fire proof enclosed
area, hanging verandah, fire escape (stair), or a combination of these having direct, easy accessto the road, the open roof or any designated safe refuge area which would be safe from thearea of incidence, smoke or fire;(b) A horizontal Exit from the affected building to an adjoining building or an area of refuge at thesame level which would provide safety from the area of incidence, smoke and fire.
01.02 Lifts, escalators, moving walkways cannot be regarded as components of the Means of Escape.
02. General Requirements
02.01 In all types of buildings and warehouses constructed for the use of the general public, there
should be provision of enough number of means of escape so that occupants can exit quickly andsafely without aid of others during fire or other emergency.
02.02 An exit shall at no circumstances be used for any purpose that would interfere with its use as ameans of escape.
02.03 Exits and Exit Access Corridors cannot be used as Supply or Return Air Ducts.
02.04 If the level of the means of escape changes more than 300 mm anywhere, then ramp has to be
used; All those exterior doors which will not be used by Disabled or Aged people, in those, amaximum step down of 200 mm shall be permitted.
02.05 All Exits shall be clearly visible and Exist Access Corridors shall be sign posted; In cases wheremore than one exit or exit access is present, and areas which may remain in darkness during
public use, in those places the location of exit and sign posts have to be illuminated.
02.06 The Owner and Lessee of all buildings will ensure the safety of all their users/occupants and if in
any existing building, the exit facilities are deemed inadequate then the Authority can give orderto accommodate adequate measures.
03. Location of Exits
03.01 Each Exit will not open to an adjoining room or area except where such adjoining room or area isan inseparable or extended portion, is not used for any hazardous activity and do not provide a
direct connection to the designated exit area.
03.02 No portion of an exit route shall pass through a portion of the building which might be locked
when the building is being used.
03.03 Assembly type buildings for all kinds of public assembly shall have at least one street in one side
on which the main Exit Discharge can be located and the main entrance of such a building canserve as the main escape for at least half of the total occupant load; If this type of building ismulti-storied, then each level should be provided with an exit capable of providing escape for atleast two–third of the occupant load served by that level.
03.04 All exits shall be located such that they ensure continuous and unobstructed means of escape forall parts of the building.
04. Occupant Load
04.01 The Exit benefit of a building will be controlled by the maximum occupant load according toTable-1.

43

04.02 In Assembly Buildings and Institution Type Buildings where there are fixed seats, number ofoccupants will be determined by the total number of seats in those places; For fixed seats without
dividing arms, the capacity shall be taken as one person for every 500 mm width of seat.
04.03 The occupant load calculated as above need not exceed one person per 0.3 m2 of usable floor
space.
04.04 The occupant load of a mezzanine floor discharging through a floor below shall be added to thereceiving floor’s occupant load.
04.05 If roofs are used as public assembly, then they should be provided with exit facilities according tothe occupant load.
05. Capacity of Exit
The capacity of means of exit must be adequate in relation to the occupant load of the area served
thereby and regarding this matter Table-1 would be applicable; The required width and size of each exit
component will be computed according to Table-2 and Clause 06.
