19 Jul 2023 CW Team

The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has issued notices to developers to submit construction plans for their projects to start a structural audit process as soon as possible.

The structural audit process of 23 high-rise residential societies, which was due to start last week, was delayed because the developers have not yet submitted construction plans, authorities said. Once the plans are submitted, the structural audit agencies will calculate the cost of the audit that will be shared between the developers and the RWAs.

In order to the management of the developer companies, District Developer (Compliance) Manish Yadav said that the structural audit of 23 residential societies will be carried out by four agencies and the developers of these societies have been ordered to submit the construction plans at the DTP office.

“Only after the submission of the plans, the cost of the audit can be estimated and the work can begin. After the amount is evaluated, the management of the construction company and RWA will be ordered to share the expenses, ”he said.

The companies to be audited in the second phase are CHD Avenue, Paras Dews, Raheja Atharva, Raheja Navodaya, Hermitage Satya, Takshashila Heights, Ansal Estella, Vatika G-21, Wembley Estate, ATS Tourmaline, Indiabulls Centrum Park, Orris Aster Court, GPL Eden Heights, Parsvnath Green Ville, Orris Carnation, Coralwood, Aloha Apartments, Vipul Lavanya, BPTP Park Sareen, Bestech Park View Ananda, NBCC Heights, Hibiscus and others.
