If a building is on a sloped site, and therefore the building height varies from one facade to the next, how shall the building height be determined relative to the BCTF spreadsheet?

Hi Brian,
In this kind of situation, you should measure 3 floors from the highest elevation point where the facade meets ground level. So for example, if the North facade is at an elevation of 150' and the South facade is set at an elevation of 135', you should measure up from 150'.

Hi, I have a similar question. What happend when the building had a big slab in one of their facades (use in doock doors)? Do you need to consider this slab like a facade? Thank you!
