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?
-
G+5 Floors
-
G+10 Floors
-
G+20 Floors
-
G+25 Floors
-
G+19 Floors
Correct Answer
A. G+19 FloorsExplanation
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.Rate this question:

_______ is the most expensive part of construction? Select all that apply
-
Excavation
-
Foundation Work
-
Floor Slabs
-
Tiling and Painting
Correct Answer(s)
A. Excavation
A. Foundation WorkExplanation
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.Rate this question:
-
- 5.
At approximately what stage of construction do developers typically pre-launch?
-
When the excavation hasn’t started (bare land)
-
When the excavation and foundation work has just started
-
Completion of Excavation and foundation
-
Completion of first floor slab
-
Completion of Project
Correct Answer(s)
A. When the excavation hasn’t started (bare land)
A. When the excavation and foundation work has just startedExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Mrs. Lakhani is very particular about Vastu in the home she wants to purchase, when she looks at the apartment layout, while exiting the house she is facing south. Is the entrance Vastu compliant?
-
Yes
-
No
Correct Answer
A. NoExplanation
The entrance is not Vastu compliant because as per Vastu principles, it is considered inauspicious for the main entrance of a home to face south. It is believed that a south-facing entrance brings negative energy and may lead to financial and health problems for the occupants. Therefore, Mrs. Lakhani should look for a home with a different entrance direction to ensure Vastu compliance.Rate this question:

Mr Iyer, likes an apartment which has a carpet area of 1000sq ft and Salable area of 1500Sq ft., what is the loading percentage?
-
50%
-
33%
-
25%
-
35%
Correct Answer
A. 33%Explanation
The loading percentage is calculated by taking the difference between the salable area and the carpet area, dividing it by the carpet area, and then multiplying by 100. In this case, the difference between the salable area (1500 sq ft) and the carpet area (1000 sq ft) is 500 sq ft. Dividing 500 by 1000 and multiplying by 100 gives us 50%. Therefore, the correct answer is 50%.Rate this question:
