Any building constructed within Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha's (RAJUK) jurisdiction, covering roughly 1,528 square kilometers under the DAP: 2022–2035 requires formal approval before construction can legally begin. Level Seven Architecture & Construction manages this process end-to-end for clients in Dhaka, handling document collection, drawing preparation, and submission through RAJUK's Electronic Construction Permitting System (ECPS).
RAJUK approval happens in two main stages:
1. Planning Permit (Land Use Clearance / LUC) Submitted online through Form-101, this step confirms the land's approved use before any building design is finalized. Required documents typically include the land registry, mutation records, national ID, updated land tax receipts, and a digital land survey. The standard processing time is around 30 days, and an approved LUC is valid for 24 months.
2. Construction Permit Once the Planning Permit is approved, a Construction Permit application (Form-301) is submitted with a full set of architectural, structural, plumbing, and electrical drawings, each signed by the relevant RAJUK-enlisted architect or engineer. The approved Construction Permit is valid for three years, within which construction must reach plinth level.
After construction is complete, a final Occupancy Certificate confirms the building is legally fit for use, valid for five years and renewable thereafter.
Because this process involves multiple government departments, strict document formatting requirements, and drawings that must be signed by RAJUK-registered professionals, most property owners in Dhaka choose to have an architecture firm manage the process rather than navigate it independently. We prepare every drawing to RAJUK's exact specification from the outset, so there's no back-and-forth between design revisions and approval submission.
