How a city approves building plans online with automated checks: submission, auto-scrutiny against bye-laws, department NOCs and sanction.
Drawing diagramβ¦
Building plan approval flowchart: the architect uploads drawings (DXF) to the city portal, the auto-scrutiny engine checks bye-laws (setbacks, floor area ratio, height, parking) and returns violations to fix. Clean plans trigger NOC requests to fire, airport authority and heritage departments in parallel, a site inspection is done, the fee is calculated and paid online, and the sanctioned plan is issued with a digital signature and QR code.
