Obtainment building permit and occupancy certificate

The obtainment of a building permit and occupancy certificate are critical steps in the construction and property development process. A building permit is required before beginning any construction work and ensures that the project complies with local zoning laws, building codes, and safety regulations. It is obtained by submitting architectural plans, engineering reports, and other necessary documentation to the relevant authorities for approval. Once construction is completed, an occupancy certificate (OC) is issued by the local municipal authorities, confirming that the building is safe for habitation and meets all regulatory requirements. The OC ensures that the building adheres to the approved plans, environmental standards, and safety norms. Both permits are essential for legal ownership, occupancy, and for securing financing or resale of the property.
