Challenges in Building Plan Approval
1. Rapid urbanization of industrial, commercial and residential properties
2. Complex Bye Laws
3. Slow and error prone manual approval process
Resulting in
1. Chances of human errors while reading drawings manually
2. Subjectivity and lack of uniformity in interpretation of bye laws
3. Inadequate visibility of proposal progress
4. Delays in approval resulting in reduced collection of fees which
contribute to revenue
