Development Controls: Building Bye laws
In this course we will learn about Development Controls: Building Bye laws.
Building Bye-Laws are legal tools used to regulate coverage, height, building volume, and architectural design and construction aspects of buildings to achieve orderly development of an area.
Buildings have become extremely complex in terms of the performance required of them resulting demands of high levels of inputs from Architects. Architects need to provide services such as conceptualization, spatial planning, design and construction of buildings, use of various materials and construction technologies, various services including operation, maintenance, repairs and rehabilitation aspects throughout the life of the building. So they must be conversant with various State as well as Local Municipal and other regulatory and statutory provisions which control development.
Urban Development is a State subject. However to maintain a coordinated and coherent development various central organizations like Town and Country Planning Organization, Ministry[IP1] of Urban Development have also framed guidelines to be followed by all-state governments and local self-governing bodies from Gram Panchayats to Metropolitan Authorities. The Bureau of Indian Standards has also prepared the National Building Code which serves as a guide.
Every State government has Acts to deal with Town and Country Planning which contain various instruments under which Building Byelaws or development control regulations are included. There will be certain variations in the rules applicable in various parts of India. However, the basis for these development control rules remains the same. We will study all this in this IDEAMOOC.
