BUILDING & USAGE

June 2024-Barcelona, Spain.

COVERAGE & FLOOR AREA RATIO

In construction, these two-basic terms are sometimes confused & seem crucial in deciding whether to raise a new building or to buy a plot in the first place: building & usage.

Both represent a piece of land when we construct a building.

Building is the result of the total buildable square metres when we add up all the floors built (in height). Plot’s usage is the percentage of area that can be covered when constructing the building.

Terms of buildability & use are key to analyze & study the profitability of any real estate transaction.

When the paths of an empty plot owner & a real estate agent with a concerned investor cross, the investor is interested in data that neither party usually masters & don’t even know, such as:

– an update of its planning permissions,
– what can be developed,
– building & usage terms,
– an economic forecast (always approximate prices & from),
– a valuation of the technical professional participants & fees, licenses,
– a list of direct & indirect taxes & other municipal expenses,
– a planning of the execution time from the purchase of the asset,
– its market launch price & profitability,
– and the real estate operation costs that should be taken into account to assess the viability of the investment, among many others.

All these parts together with the first sketches of a proposal when the product does not yet exist & its impeccable hyper-realistic rendering, are what really push the purchase.
