Construction in Punjab is influenced by evolving legal, safety, and zoning frameworks. Here are the key recent changes every developer and homeowner should be aware of:
- Revised Building Bye-Laws – Several authorities have introduced stricter height limits, setback rules, and FAR (Floor Area Ratio) constraints.
- Streamlined Approval Processes – Online submission portals and single-window systems are being implemented for NOCs and drawings in urban zones.
- Construction Waste Management – Builders must now submit a waste disposal plan for approval in many districts.
- Mandatory Energy Compliance – New commercial and large-scale residential builds must show provisions for daylight, ventilation, and energy efficiency.
- Anti-Encroachment Enforcement – Plot boundaries, green areas, and public walkways are under tighter scrutiny to avoid encroachments and penalties.
Staying compliant not only ensures smoother approvals but builds trust with clients and regulatory bodies alike.
