WHAT DOES FLOOR AREA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gross floor area

Gross Floor Area is a real estate term referring to the total floor area inside the building envelope, including the external walls, and excluding the roof. Definitions of GFA, including which areas are to be counted towards it and which areas are not, vary around the world. Adding to this confusion is the practice among some developers to use Gross Leasable Area and GFA interchangeably, or to use GFA as GLA, even though GLA usually excludes corridors and other public areas inside the development, while both figures include areas occupied by structure, like walls and columns.
