Before any application is filed, we conduct a detailed review of your site, architectural drawings, structural details, and proposed end-use against the applicable Punjab building bye-laws and master plan provisions. This step prevents the costliest mistake in this process — submitting a file that gets rejected or sent back for major revisions.
Building plan approval requires a precise documentation set — and the exact requirements vary across authorities and project types. We prepare the full file, including:
Once the file is ready, we handle submission with the concerned authority and act as the single point of coordination between the project, the architect and the department. This includes payment of scrutiny fees, EDC/IDC charges where applicable, and tracking the file through each internal stage.
Most files receive at least one round of queries from the department. We respond promptly, prepare revised drawings or documents where needed, and ensure objections are closed without unnecessary delays.
Once the plan is sanctioned, we also guide clients through the post-construction phase — including completion certificate (CC) and occupation certificate (OC) applications, which are essential for legal occupation, registry transfers, and home-loan disbursements.
Punjab’s building approval landscape involves several authorities depending on the project’s location and category. We facilitate approvals across all of them:
Timelines vary by authority and project category — straightforward residential plots can be sanctioned in 4–8 weeks, while large group housing or commercial projects can take 3–6 months. A well-prepared file with no compliance gaps is the single biggest factor in moving faster.
For most projects within Mohali, building plans are sanctioned by GMADA or the concerned Municipal Corporation, depending on the location and zoning. We help identify the correct authority for your specific site at the start of the engagement.
The core set includes proof of ownership, identity documents, architectural drawings, structural details, service plans, area statements and statutory affidavits — plus authorityspecific forms and fee receipts. We provide a complete project-specific checklist once we review the site.
Yes. We support clients through CC and OC applications after construction — including required inspections, document collation and departmental follow-ups.
A delayed building plan sanction can stall an entire real estate project — pushing back launches, holding up bank disbursements, and breaking commitments to buyers.
