Yes, a multi-level parking system generally needs to be included in the approved building plan for Building Use (BU) permission. Authorities may check its structural safety, fire safety, vehicle access and approved parking capacity. A multi-level car park or mechanical multi-level car parking system may help fulfil the required parking provision. However, whether the multi-level car parking area is included in FSI depends on local development regulations. Therefore, every multi-level parking project should be approved by the relevant local authority. I-CUBE Parking offers customised parking solutions that can be planned according to available space and applicable approval requirements. Conclusion A multi-level parking system is generally considered during the BU permission process, but its FSI treatment depends on local rules. Always consult a licensed architect and the relevant authority before installation.
