It is the amount of space the building floor plan covers, which is normally in square feet or square metres. If the building has multiple floors, the total area of all of the floors are taken into account. All usable interior space is included in the build up area, apart from outdoor balconies, but excluding elevator/staircase area.
FAR=Total floor area of building / Total lot area
The approximate floor area of NASA Vehicle Assembly Building is 129,428,000 cubic feet.
The floor area of Barajas Airport Terminal 4 main building is 287,384 m2.
Gross floor area is the total floor area contained within the building measured to the external face of the external walls. Construction floor area is the total space in a building, including things like exterior walls, permanent partitions, fire walls, and areas in attics and basements. Essentially, gross floor area is the usable space, while construction floor area is the total space.
depends on the area and height of the building
FSI stands for Floor Space Index, which is a numerical representation of the ratio between the total floor area of a building to the area of the plot of land on which it is built. It is used in urban planning and building regulations to control the density and intensity of development in a particular area.
Square footage of a building usually refers to the total square footage of floor area.
It is the plinth area minus the area occupied by walls, ie., it is the area covered between the walls of a building.

750, if you need no extra!
Take the lot size and multiply it by the Floor Area Ratio. For example, on a 5,000 square foot lot with a 2.0 FAR you could construct a building with 10,000 square feet of total floor area (the floorspace of each floor above ground added together). Keep in mind that there are other restrictions as well, such as building height and setback issues that could keep you from using the total allowable building area per your FAR.
