Ground Coverage Rules in Nepal: A Complete Guide for Homeowners and Builders

In Nepal’s growing towns and cities, the way we build our homes and buildings is becoming more important every day. One key aspect of construction that many people overlook is the ground coverage area. Simply put, ground coverage refers to the area of land that a building covers. It does not include balconies, open spaces, or gardens—just the part of the land directly under the structure. Why is Ground Coverage Important? In places like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and other urban centers of Nepal, land is limited, and population is increasing. If every house covers 100% of the land, there will be no open space for sunlight, ventilation, drainage, or even trees. That's why Nepal's building codes—like those set by the Nepal Building Code (NBC) and local municipalities—have clear rules about how much of your land you can cover with a building. For example, if you own a 1000 sq. ft. plot, and the law says only 60% ground coverage is allowed, your building footprint should not exceed 600 sq...

How Tall Can You Build in Nepal? Rules, Limits & Famous Examples

But have you ever thought, “How tall can a building be?” Or, “Can I build this type of building on my land?” Today, let’s talk about height of building in simple words, with real example like Kathmandu View Tower . This topic is important for homeowners , engineers , contractors , and even for students preparing Loksewa or engineering exams. 1. What is Building Height? Building height means the vertical height from the ground level to the top of the building . But it depends on the type of roof: If building has flat roof , height is measured up to terrace . If roof is sloped more than 30° , height is measured to the center of the slope . If roof is sloped less than 30° , it is measured to the eaves level (where wall meets roof). This helps in measuring buildings in a fair and same way. 2. Why Height is Controlled? Maybe you...

प्लास्टर गर्ने क्रममा पालना गर्नुपर्ने केहि महत्वपूर्ण मापदण्डहरू

नेपालका DUDBC (Department of Urban Development and Building Construction) का अनुसार भवनमा प्लास्टर गर्ने क्रममा पालना गर्नुपर्ने केहि महत्वपूर्ण मापदण्डहरू निम्नलिखित छन्: सतहको तयारी : प्लास्टर गर्नु अघि दीवारको सतह सफा र सहज हुनुपर्छ। कुनै पनि धूलो, माटो, तेल, गन्दा पदार्थ हटाउनुपर्छ। यदि आवश्यक भएमा, दीवारलाई हल्का गीला गर्नु पर्छ जसले प्लास्टरलाई राम्रोसँग चिप्काउन मद्दत पुर्याउँछ। प्लास्टर मिक्सचर : प्लास्टरका लागि सीमेंट र बालुवाको अनुपात सामान्यतया १:४ राखिन्छ, तर स्थानको वातावरण र आवश्यकता अनुसार यसमा थोरै परिवर्तन गर्न सकिन्छ। मिश्रणलाई राम्रोसँग मिक्स गर्नु महत्त्वपूर्ण छ जसले समान गुणस्तरको प्लास्टर उत्पादन गर्दछ। प्लास्टरको मोटाई : बाहिरी दीवारको प्लास्टरको मोटाई प्रायः १२ देखि १५ मिलिमिटर हुनुपर्छ। भित्री दीवारमा सामान्यतया १० देखि १२ मिलिमिटर मोटाई राखिन्छ। सामग्रीको गुणस्तर : प्लास्टरका लागि प्रयोग हुने सामग्रीहरू जस्तै सीमेंट र बालू उच्च गुणस्तरीय हुनुपर्छ। कमजोर सामग्री प्रयोग नगर्नुहोस्। नम्नु र सुकाइराख्नु : प्लास्टर गरेर सकेपछि,...
