No wonder the rich does just build and get approval after.
quietdevil wrote:It depends on what you are trying to get approval for...land use, development, house, commercial building. Once you have all the necessary paperwork house and commercial plans take about 2 months, land use and development takes about 6 months. The process is about verification and with their current staff and limited research means they do a damn good job. And they have purged out all the ppl who took money to fast approve. Anyone saying otherwise is just charging you for a process that's free

Finally got my letter of approval today after submitting the application on 19-02-2014
So average 3 months, submit to regional corporation and visit them every Wednesday to push it along. If you are in a sewered area then you would also need a licensed plumber to get approval from wasa.

care to share more information on this?
To get your completion certificate you need to get a structural engineers report which will reference the approved plan and a site visit by a registered structural engineer. It's a one page letter that jus states their visit and that everything was done in accordance to the plan and is structurally sound.

So you started building after T&C gave you approval? Because my T&C approved plans were sent to PDRC as well.

Yep I did and now thats why I need the report.....However what the Building inspector(Mr Maharaj) said I needed to inform them first and wait for the site visits before and during the build and ONLY then my building would have been approved by the PDRC.......btw he did visit when I inquired about my plans....
My question to him was T&C did do the site visit and my plans was approved by them....why the double standard???....long story and BS answers later I need the report....

Did you apply yourself ?
It helps if you get somebody on the inside to know where your application is.
