What is a Building Permission ?

A building permission is an official approval from the concerned local government authorities to proceed with the construction work. It ensures that the project complies with all the laws, codes and regulations for the safety of present and future occupants of the building.

In India, there are two types of building permission – one for residential and commercial purposes. Every project requires an individual permit for each component of the construction.They are issued based on various factors such as structural requirements of a building, type of material to be used, load bearing capacity, etc., as well as compliance with fire safety standards.

Codes, rules and regulations are framed to protect you and your property from any potential hazards. Whenever building or structure is built, modified, damaged, or demolished without an approval from local municipalities or authorities chances are that it can be unsafe.

The building permission also provides information about the construction process to ensure that everything is done according to regulations. The information provided includes:

• The location of your property
• The type of construction you are planning to do (e.g., new home, repairs, etc.)
• The date you plan to start construction work
• The estimated cost of your project
• A copy of your completed application form

You will also receive a letter from your local government authority giving you permission to begin work on your project.

Permit  allows the officials to protect the public by minimizing the potential hazards due to unsafe construction and ensures public health and safety. By following the proper code guidelines, the completed project will meet minimum standards of safety and will be less likely to cause injury to you
