Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers on building approvals in Tamil Nadu. General information only — always verify current rules with the relevant authority.
What People Ask Us
Do you guarantee approval or a fixed timeline?
No. We are transparent about this — outcomes and timelines depend on the concerned government authority. What we guarantee is accurate documentation, proper filing, and consistent coordination. We never promise what we can't control.
What is the difference between Self-Certification and DTCP approval?
Self-Certification is a faster route for smaller individual building plans processed under the state's Single Window System. DTCP (Directorate of Town and Country Planning) approval is required for layout and subdivision permissions. The route depends on your project type, size and location.
Do you charge for the first consultation?
No. Your first consultation is free. We review your documents and project details, advise on the right approval route, and explain our professional fee — all before any engagement or commitment.
What documents do I need to start?
It varies by project type. Generally you'll need: land ownership documents (patta, chitta), survey sketch, and any prior approvals if applicable. During our free consultation, we guide you through the exact list of documents required for your specific project.
How do I track my project status?
Once your project is confirmed, you receive regular updates via WhatsApp. We keep you informed at every stage — current status, latest update, and next action required. No login needed, no app to download.
Do you handle industrial and factory approvals?
Yes. We coordinate building approval bundled with TNPCB consent, Fire NOC, and Factory license simultaneously. This parallel approach significantly reduces delays compared to approaching each department separately.
Which districts do you cover?
We serve clients across all 38 districts of Tamil Nadu. Remote consultation is available for every district, with site visits arranged when the project requires physical inspection or local authority coordination.
How does the fee structure work?
Our professional fee is explained directly during consultation. Government charges — stamp fees, NOC fees, processing charges — are always shown separately at actuals. No hidden costs, no surprises.
Can you help regularise an existing unapproved building?
Yes. Building regularisation is a legal remedy available under Tamil Nadu rules. It protects your property's resale value, enables bank loan eligibility, and ensures legal compliance. We handle the complete regularisation process.
What is HACA clearance and do I need it?
HACA (Hill Area Conservation Authority) clearance is mandatory for the 597 notified hill area villages — primarily in Nilgiris, Kodaikanal, Yercaud and other hill stations. If your project is in a notified hill area, this clearance is required before building approval can be granted.
