Building Plan Approval Services in Bangalore
Who Needs Building Plan Approval?
If you’re planning any of the following, you need a sanctioned building plan before you begin.
Plot Owners Planning Construction
Building a home or commercial structure on your plot requires a sanctioned plan before laying the foundation.
Adding Floors or Extensions
Any addition to an existing structure — a floor, room, or extension — requires fresh approval from the authority.
Applying for a Construction Loan
Banks mandate a sanctioned building plan before disbursing any construction or home loan.
Ensuring Legal Compliance
An approved plan protects you from demolition notices, fines, and legal disputes in the future.
- Starting construction without an approved plan is illegal in Bengaluru and can result in demolition orders or heavy penalties from BBMP/BDA authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is legally mandatory. Under the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act and BBMP/BDA bye-laws, no construction can begin without a sanctioned building plan. Proceeding without one is illegal and can result in demolition notices, heavy penalties, and difficulty selling the property in future.
The timeline depends on the authority and complexity of the plan. BBMP approvals for residential buildings typically take 30–90 days. BDA and BMRDA may take longer. We work to minimize delays through proper documentation and active follow-up.
Costs include government fees (based on plot size and built-up area), architect fees, and our service fee. Government fees vary significantly by authority and construction type. We provide a full cost estimate during the free initial consultation.
No. Starting construction before receiving the sanctioned plan is illegal. It can lead to demolition orders and prevent you from obtaining an Occupancy Certificate later. We advise completing the approval before any construction activity.
You risk demolition orders from the civic authority, heavy monetary penalties, difficulty in selling or mortgaging the property, and inability to get utility connections. The property may also be classified as unauthorized, significantly reducing its value.
