Check possession and the site plan
An instalment schedule or a map position does not establish permission to start construction. Obtain the relevant plot-specific confirmation and understand the relevant approval process.
Check your house design and approval
DHA publishes building bylaws. Consult the current relevant version and an appropriately qualified professional when planning the design. Generic online dimensions and house images should not determine setbacks, coverage or approval requirements.
Budget for land, site work and construction
Assess the site, required approvals, access and services alongside the house budget. Arrange investigations before finalizing a design or contractor commitment. Allow for the time needed to obtain and resolve documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start construction after buying?
Establish the plot-specific position and relevant approvals first. Purchase, allocation and construction readiness are separate matters.
Do I need a house design approval?
Consult the relevant DHA building rules and process with a qualified professional. Do not base the decision on an online example house.
Can I copy a house layout for another plot?
Use the actual dimensions, levels and relevant rules for your plot. A layout designed for a different property may not fit or be approved.
