Regularizing existing buildings: when and how

Owais engineering team 1 min read

Building regularization is a legal procedure that brings an existing building in line with regulations and issues a permit confirming its legal status.

When do you need it?

  • A building constructed without a permit.
  • Works or additions that breach the issued permit.
  • The need to document the building for sale, financing or utility connections.

What does it involve?

It starts with an as-built architectural survey, followed by a structural safety report, a compliance check with proposed remedies, and finally submission to the competent authority.

Regularization protects your property value, avoids violations and makes any future transaction on the building easier.
