A building map, also called a building plan or sanction plan, is a set of drawings submitted to your local authority for approval before construction starts.
What it contains
- Site plan showing plot boundaries and setbacks
- Floor plans of every level
- Elevations and cross-sections
- Details such as parking, staircase and drainage
Why it matters
Building without an approved map can lead to penalties, difficulty getting utility connections, trouble selling the property and problems securing a home loan.
Approval process
Your architect prepares the drawings, submits them with ownership documents and pays the fees. The authority reviews and may ask for changes before sanctioning.
Documents you will need
Sale deed, property tax receipts, ID proof and a survey or measurement of the land are usually required.
Our architects handle the drawings and the approval follow-up so you can focus on planning your home.
