Rules to be followed for house construction
� It is not allowed to build the house in the entire area of the plot purchased � for example, if the plot is 1200 sq ft, house cannot be built in all 1200 sq ft.
� Space must be provided on all 4 sides of the construction. This space requirement varies for different locations. There is also a rule for the space to be left at the back of the house depending on the plot area. 5� space gap must be provided on the sides of the plot just for future possibility of vehicle parking or gardening.
� The house can be built covering only 50% are of the plot. For example, for a 50 x 40 sq ft plot, house can be built in the area 45 x 30 sq ft. Please note that this is for only the ground floor. For building floors upwards, there are rules again governed by FSI � Floor Space Index.
� It is important to make a clear plan on the construction and submit the some for clearance to build. 3 copies of the approved plan should be given to the local corporation ward. Rainwater harvesting facility must be provided.
� It will take approximately 1 month to get the plan approval after which construction can start. Note that the plan should be strictly followed in order to avoid future problems..
