A plot's real value is not defined by location and size alone. What truly matters is how much you can build on it. Two concepts define this: KAKS (floor area ratio) and TAKS.
What Is KAKS?
KAKS is the ratio of total buildable area to plot area. On a 1,000 m² plot with KAKS 1.0, you have 1,000 m² of building rights.
What Is TAKS?
TAKS is the ratio of the building's ground footprint to plot area. With TAKS 0.30 on a 1,000 m² plot, the footprint is at most 300 m².
Example
1,000 m² plot, TAKS 0.30 and KAKS 1.50: footprint up to 300 m², total construction 1,500 m² — roughly a 5-storey building.
Why It Matters
A plot with higher ratio offers more building rights on the same area and is far more valuable. Look beyond price to the ratio.
