What can I build on a 30×40, 30×50 or 40×60 plot?
The size of the house you can build depends on how much of your plot is left after setbacks (the buildable area), and on how many floors the rules allow for your plot and road. Here is what the planner calculates for common Hyderabad plot sizes, built as Stilt + 2 (parking on the stilt, two home floors above) on a 30–40 ft road.
| Plot (ft) | Plot area | Buildable / floor | 2 home floors | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 × 40 | 1,200 sq ft | 745 sq ft | 1,490 sq ft | 62.1% |
| 30 × 50 | 1,500 sq ft | 980 sq ft | 1,960 sq ft | 65.3% |
| 40 × 50 | 2,000 sq ft | 1,398 sq ft | 2,796 sq ft | 69.9% |
| 40 × 60 | 2,400 sq ft | 1,677 sq ft | 3,354 sq ft | 69.9% |
| 50 × 80 | 4,000 sq ft | 2,488 sq ft | 4,976 sq ft | 62.2% |
| 60 × 90 | 5,400 sq ft | 2,994 sq ft | 5,988 sq ft | 55.4% |
G+1, G+2 or stilt?
- G + floors: the ground floor is a home floor. With cars, the planner carves a car porch into the ground floor and shows the area it takes.
- Stilt + floors: the ground level is open parking and the homes start on the first floor. Larger plots usually need stilt parking under the rules.
- Duplex and triplex: two or three connected floors as one home, for example a duplex on floors 1–2.
Plan your units floor by floor
In the planner's Floor-by-floor table you can add units to each floor (1 BHK, 2 BHK, 3 BHK, shops, offices, washrooms, a home theatre and many more), set their sizes, and see instantly whether the floor has space left or is over-planned. It is a quick way to fix the brief before you ask a builder for a quotation.
Questions
How much can I build on a 40×60 plot?
About 1,677 sq ft per floor after setbacks for Stilt + 2 on a 30 ft road, so about 3,354 sq ft across two home floors. Exact figures depend on road width and floors.
How much can I build on a 30×40 plot?
About 745 sq ft per floor after setbacks for Stilt + 2 on a 30 ft road, about 1,490 sq ft across two home floors.
How many floors can I build on my plot?
It depends on your plot area band and road width, which set the permissible height. Enter your plot in the planner to see the floors allowed and how setbacks change with height.
Can I plan 2 BHK and 3 BHK units floor by floor?
Yes. Add units to each floor in the Floor-by-floor table, adjust their sizes, and the planner shows the space left or over-planned on every floor.
