2 hrs confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 built area/building area
Explanation:
I like total building square footage the best of what I found, but I guess you can't use that. Otherwise, perhaps total built area or total building area.
Many of the hits I got for built up area were translated or had to do with density.
I did find a German definition that includes Dachüberstände:
http://www.oberhausen.de/Durchschrift.PDF
an die Kanalisation angeschlossene bebaute und überbaute Flächen:
(das ist die Grundfläche, die von zum Grundstück gehörenden Gebäuden (einschließlich Dachüberständen) überdeckt wird, z.B. Wohn- und Geschäftshäuser, Garagen, usw.)
For what it's worth, here are some more sites that may help.
Good luck!

| | Grading comment I'm afraid I didn't give you enough information in the beginning. The translation order here is for a commercial real estate investment prospectus. The reason for the 1:4 relationship ("lot coverage" = "Überbauungsverhältnis") between the "überbaute Fläche" and the "Fläche des Baugrundstückes" is that large parking areas are required for up to 1000 customers (= up to 500 cars in the US).
I do not want to use "lot coverage" = "Überbauungsverhältnis" because it is a zoning term expressed normally as a percentage, whereas "überbaute Fläche" is expressed in square feet or meters. As here:
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:TxdkXqu5KTs:www.comune.bolzano.it/wincity/allegati/URBANIST/norme2000.pdf
"Überbauungsverhältnis: das Verhältnis zwischen der überbauten Fläche und der Fläche des Baugrundstückes"
The more important term from an investment marketing standpoint is "überbaute Fläche" because that is where the revenue comes from. Parking space or total land area are just irritating cost factors. Expressing the good (money earning) term, "überbaute Fläche", simply as a percentage of the bad (money costing) term, "Fläche des Baugrundstückes", could create a negative impression in the minds of prospective investors. To emphasize parking space or total land area is only good for the consumer advertising which will come later.
"constructed area" and "built area", using the participle forms, sound unclear to me and don't get many hits in the following query formulation:
Google, English, .com domain;
+commercial +real +estate +investment +opportunity +
+"building area" : 400 hits
+"constructed area" : 8 hits
+"area under roof" : 5 hits
+"lot coverage" : 44 hits
+"built area" : 7 hits
+"area covered by the structure" : zero hits
+"area of the building" : 84 hits
+"construction area" : 43 hits
+"structure area" : 4 hits
+"space under roof" : 2 hits
(Many of the hits for "building area" and "area of the building" are a result of Google's inability to recognize exact phrase groups as such. Even the use of + operators within the quotation doesn't always help.)
"area under roof" or "structure area" would still be my favorites but the hit results were lousy.
Soooooooo, as an overly general and underly clear easy way out, I'll have to take "total building area".
Thank you all for your good suggestions.

4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 lot coverage or building area
Explanation:
I do some of my best thinking while driving (or in the shower). In this case, driving home from the beauty parlor (well, one can always hope...)
I flashed on "footprint", a lovely buzz word hereabouts. Building footprint, footprint of a building. While researching that, I stumbled upon an ordinance from Hermosa Beach which seems to match your definition to a T:
"Lot coverage" includes the footprint of the building plus cantilevers and decks higher than thirty (30) inches above grade. Exceptions, not to be included when calculating lot coverage are: architectural projections, eaves, and open and unenclosed balconies that project from the face of the building, not exceeding a five-foot projection.
Footprint is most obviously the area of the building covering the ground, but if viewed most restrictively it might be interpreted to include stairs and stair landings on grade, walkways, patios, pools, or other features which are generally on grade and not part of the building "footprint." On the other hand the only accessory and appurtenant structures specifically identified are "decks higher than 30 inches above grade", leaving out structures such as accessory buildings or other structures that may not have foundations (tool sheds, storage sheds), or wood or metal stair structures, which probably should be included.
www.hermosabch.org/14-21500.htm
So I started looking a bit further on "lot coverage", got tons of hits. Some examples:

(You'll have to get into this one yourself; it's a nasty one that made my system crash)
The maximum lot coverage is the maximum percentage of surface (exclusive of sensitive areas and submerged lands, but including required buffers) that may be covered with materials that will not allow percolation of water into underlying soils. (Ord. 527 (part), 1989, Ord. 696 § 9, 1995, Ord. 733 § 1, 1997)

Explanation:
Die bei der Ermittlung der Überbauungsziffer zu berücksichtigende
UEBERBAUTE Grundfläche ergibt sich aus der senkrechten Projektion der grössten
oberirdischen Gebäudeumfassung auf den
Erdboden (NW § 25 BauV)
(...)
Bei der *UEBERBAUBAREN* Grundfläche
werden nicht angerechnet: a. über die
Fassade vorspringende offene Gebäudeteile sowie offene Gartenhallen und überdachte offene Hauszugänge; b. unbeheizte Veranden, Windfänge und Wintergärten bis zu zehn Prozent der anrechenbaren Geschossflächen der zugehörigen Wohnung; c. nicht gewerblich genutzte Nebenbauten wie Gewächshäuser,Geräteschuppen, Kleintierställe, Spielhäuschen und Velounterstände; d. Garagebauten und Einstellhallen mit Pflichtabstellflächen(...)
Above detailed definition copied from this Swiss website:

I would think this could be interpreted as *lot coverage*, as defined in the following URL:
LOT COVERAGE
Lot coverage is that portion of a zoning lot which, when viewed directly from above, is or would be covered by a building or any part of a building.
