GFA

GFA stands for “Gross Floor Area.” It is a measure used in building and architecture to quantify the total area of a building. GFA encompasses the total area of all floors within the building, including walls, columns, and other structural features, but typically excludes certain spaces like basements, mechanical rooms, and other non-usable areas depending on specific regulations or guidelines set by local authorities or industry standards. GFA is often used in zoning laws, property valuation, and real estate development to determine building density and compliance with land use regulations.
