This paper is the Part Three of the Research in Chok (Quadrangle) Architecture of the Royal Buildings of Nepal. In this paper, a grid floor planning of Chok was examined, on examples Mul Chok and Sundara Chok of Patan Darbar, which are typical patterns of Chok Architecture, on the basis of the findings of a photo-survey and an actual measurement. As a results, we were able to draw out the following conclusion ; Chok Architectures were constructed as an aggregate under a consistent site planning. For a Patan Darbar, there was a site planning based on the standard grid for Mul Chok and Sundara Chok. And the grid length of the pole was 7. 5 Hat since the late 14th century, as the standard units. In the floor planning, Mul Chok was designed according to the 8X8 square standard grid, in coincidence with the standard grid of the entire site planning, thus following a form from Bhadgaon Darbar. As for Sundara Chok, foundations of Quadrangle were designed according to the standard grid of the entire site planning, but buildings surrounding it were built by the different 6X6 square standard grid. It is estimated that the differences between the two kinds of Chok came from the different functions these buildings performed. The grid floor planning that adopts different standard units for buildings with different uses is also found in architectures in ancient India. It is considered that architectural design of each Chok of Royal Buildings in Nepal also followed traditional techniques by taking into consideration the historical background.
