Legal Meaning

Finished floor level (FFL) means the level of the upper surface of the relevant floor.

Plain English

Finished floor level is the final height of the upper surface of a floor after the floor structure and finishes are complete. On drawings it is often shown as an FFL or a reduced level, such as FFL 601.250, referenced to the project's survey datum. It is used to compare the floor with ground levels and to determine matters such as whether a level is a lower or upper floor.
