Site Analysis
The Analysis Dashboard
The Analysis Dashboard allows you to track critical site and building metrics in real-time and gives immediate insights into your project’s performance. Here’s what you can monitor:
TFA – Total Floor Area – The total floor area within the building, measured to the external face of the external walls.
GFA – Gross Floor Area – The total floor area multiplied by the efficiency factor (configurable).
Site Area – The total area of the site within the site boundaries.
FSI – Floor Space Index. Also referred to as FAR (Floor Area Ratio) is the ratio of the total floor area (GFA) to site area.
BCR – Building Coverage Ratio – The ratio of the building total first-floor area (footprint) divided by the site area.
Height – The height of the highest building in the project.
Storeys – The number of storeys of the highest building in the project.
NSA – Net Saleable Area – The amount of space for sale extracted from the total floor area, calculated by multiplied sell efficiency factor (configurable).
Units – Total Unit Count – NSA divided by average unit size.
Parking – Total required and provided parking spots, calculated by parking to units ratio, and parking per m2 / ft2.
Unit Mix
The number of different residential units in the project by types.

Real-Time Analysis
In Planary, you can continue to work and edit the polylines in AutoCAD and the metrics will update accordingly.
You have the flexibility to exclude specific sites or buildings from the overall metrics at any time.
