Is there any relaxation for the space which has to be left according to rule , if we have concerned letter from our neighbor .
My reply
You can get relaxation in clearance space of building with property of neighbour provided
you are willing to avoid doors and windows in that side and neighbour is willing to give consent in writing in stamp paper

Would you know what is the maximum height allowed for constructing a building in the Kota Maidanam (Fort Maidan) area in Palakkad. The area comes under the 300 meter Regulated Zone around the ASI protected monument of Palakkad Fort.
I was first told that under ASI rules, the height restriction is 18 meters for residential and 24 meters for institutional buildings. However, locals say that because the Kota Maidanam hosts VIP meetings regularly, the height restriction is capped at G+2 storeys.
I would be grateful if you could clarify what is the right answer.
My reply
Get the matter clarified from concerned section of local administration office by providing specific details of your plot

Sir,
I am planning to purchase a plot(4 cents) , its falls under panchayat limit. In the village tax receipt its mentioned as "Nilam" ,can i get permission to construct a house .or i need to convert it as 'puraiyedam' . is it possible to convert ? as almost 97 houses are already constructed there. please advice
My reply
If 97 houses have come up in the area why should alone be prevented from constructing a house there.Before purchasing plot check up with local authority whether sanction will be given for house construction

Sakeer has left a new comment on your post "Building Permit":I have 8.5 cent , i am planning to construct a house but there a 11 kv electric line is passing over the property. Please clarify any restriction to build house under the 11 Kv line
My reply
Constructing house below 11KV or any high voltage electric line is not advisable as the inductive field around high voltage line can cause problems for those who stay under it

Balu has left a new comment on your post "Is a plan enough for building house?":
This is about chimney. The store bought modern chimney does not serve the purpose totally. How about building a compact chimney in cement and using an exhaust fan on exit?
My reply
Chimneys of different sucking capacity are available in market.Using chimney in brick work and using an exhaust fan is like using a bullock cart instead of a car

I am a frequent reader of your blog and its a gr8 help for people like us recently I purchased a 1.20 acres of land in Chengannur town and i want to build a villa project there. I am not a registered builder. what things i need to do to start a villa project and what is the minimum road width i need to leave in my plot?
My reply
To start a project like this you first need assistance from an agency like ours.Write to me to
See what all we can do for you:
Ours is a professionally managed Engineering organisation based at Cochin handling Architecture, Construction, Industrial Marketing, Real estate assistance, Engineering and Management Consultancy
For making your dream house a reality we can do following for you
1. Assistance in land purchase
We can arrange technical and legal evaluation of property with site visit by technical expert, verifying property documents by documentation experts and lawyers and also arranging property registration formalities with expertise and professional services. Land and House purchase loan can be arranged through M/s HDFC Limited
2. House design
In the present situation, where cost of all inputs used for House construction going up every day, cost control and obtaining maximum utility for money spent can be achieved only by house design by experienced expert building professional. With over 200 houses built directly by us in different parts of Kerala and many more buildings designed, we have expertise and experience which you may not find elsewhere
3. House Construction
In Kerala, people look for a contractor who offers lowest “square feet cost”. Each house will cost differently depending upon design; work involved material used, site conditions etc. and there cannot be a common “square feet cost of Construction”
Each contractor build as per his choice of materials, labour and most of them do not even know about Architecture or Structural Engineering. There can be common rates for construction only if all contractors follow same specifications, and Engineering standards which never happen. Unless you have an expert experienced building professional to provide technical drawings and construction is monitored on a daily basis you cannot ensure that a contractor looking for profit will do a quality work satisfying engineering standards
We offer professional quality work with latest technology and trends using expert workers closely monitored by Architects and Engineers
4. Vasthu Consultancy and Vasthu compliance for House Design
We follow Vasthu Sasthra while designing house for you thereby ensuring peace and prosperity during your stay in the house. We can also visit your house under construction and existing house to check on Vasthu aspects and to suggest suitable changes in building to ensure Vasthu compliance
5. After structure work and checking of work done
We can take up any work related to construction from beginning to end. Even in case where you already working with another contractor, we can visit site, check on work already done and advise on future works
It will be better to have our expert services for after structure works like Plumbing, Electrical, painting, flooring and Interior wood work even in cases where you have opted for a contractor for structural work
We can also act as Consultants giving detailed execution drawings and periodic site visits
