Builders operating in different housing societies of the federal capital called on Special Assistant to Prime Minister on CDA Affairs Ali Nawaz Awan here at CDA headquarters on Monday and apprised him of the issues being faced by them pertaining to layout plans of under-construction commercial projects.

The meeting was attended by Member Planning and Design and other senior officers of concerned formations.

Ali Nawaz Awan said that genuine issues of the builders would be resolved and their concerns would be addressed; however, codal formalities in this regard would have to be completed.

Awan directed the planning wing to clear the ambiguities within approved layout plans within week time. For this purpose, builders will submit the terms and conditions of allotment issued by the respective housing societies and Planning Wing will analyze in light of these documents.

However, issue pertaining to enhancement of FAR was deferred up till the report of the Federal Commission arrived. It was also decided that approval of existing structure from Building Control Section, either completed or under construction, will be subject to completion of all codal formalities and certification of soundness and stability by independent consultant.
