If a plot has an FSI of “5” and there are no height restrictions in the location, the project has open space of 75%, what can be the maximum height of the building?
Correct Answer
E. G+19 Floors
Explanation
If a plot has an FSI of "5" and there are no height restrictions in the location, the project has open space of 75%, the maximum height of the building can be G+19 Floors. The Floor Space Index (FSI) of 5 means that the total floor area of the building can be up to 5 times the size of the plot. Since there are no height restrictions, the building can be constructed with maximum floors. The open space requirement of 75% means that 25% of the plot area must be left as open space, which allows for the construction of G+19 Floors.

_______ is the most expensive part of construction? Select all that apply
Correct Answer(s)
A. Excavation
B. Foundation Work
Explanation
Excavation and foundation work are the most expensive parts of construction because they involve extensive labor, machinery, and materials. Excavation requires the removal of large amounts of soil and rocks to prepare the site for construction, which can be time-consuming and costly. Foundation work involves constructing the base of the building, which requires skilled labor and specialized materials like concrete and steel. Both excavation and foundation work are critical to the stability and longevity of the structure, making them costly components of the construction process.
5.
At approximately what stage of construction do developers typically pre-launch?
Correct Answer(s)
A. When the excavation hasn’t started (bare land)
B. When the excavation and foundation work has just started
Explanation
Developers typically pre-launch a construction project when the excavation hasn't started or when the excavation and foundation work has just started. This is because pre-launching allows developers to generate interest and secure potential buyers or investors before the project is fully completed. By pre-launching at these stages, developers can showcase the project's plans, designs, and potential benefits to attract early interest and secure commitments. This strategy helps developers gauge market demand, secure funding, and mitigate risks before proceeding with the full construction process.
