Architectural Planning & LDA Map Approval Services
Comprehensive architectural space planning, 3D elevation modeling, structural rebar schedules, and Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) municipal map approval coordination.
Architectural Planning & Municipal Clearance in Lucknow
Every residential or commercial build within the jurisdiction of the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) must obtain a sanctioned building map before commencing excavation. Building without an approved map exposes property owners to stop-work notices, compounding fines, and demolition orders under the UP Urban Planning and Development Act.
Swastik Home provides professional architectural design and Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) map approval consulting for residential plots, luxury duplexes, and commercial properties across Lucknow. Led by licensed architects and registered structural engineers, we bridge creative design with municipal regulatory compliance. Our team drafts custom 2D floor layouts, structural load calculations, and photorealistic 3D exterior elevations while managing the entire sanctioning workflow through the LDA OBPAS portal. Whether building in Sushant Golf City, Gomti Nagar Extension, Vrindavan Yojna, or Shaheed Path, we ensure strict compliance with road width setbacks, ground coverage limits, and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) regulations to secure fast approvals without administrative delays.
The OBPAS Online Sanctioning Pipeline
How our empanelled architects navigate the Uttar Pradesh Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPAS):
CAD Pre-DCR Layer Drafting
Drawings are generated strictly in accordance with LDA Pre-DCR software standards—mapping wall thicknesses, room ventilation ratios, stairwell radii, and setbacks on designated CAD layers.
OBPAS Portal Submission & Automated Scrutiny
Our registered architect uploads the DWG blueprints and applicant legal files. The portal's automated scrutiny engine calculates FAR, setbacks, and height limits instantly.
Junior Engineer (JE) Site Inspection
The assigned LDA site engineer conducts an on-ground physical inspection to verify road frontage width (minimum 9m for residential), plot boundary demarcation, and verify zero existing encroachment.
Fee Demand Note & Online Challan
Upon field verification, LDA generates an itemized demand note (development charges, water supply fees, betterment levy, and labour cess) paid directly via net banking.
Digital Sanction Certificate & QR-Coded Map Release
The sanctioned architectural drawing with the official QR-coded municipal approval stamp and digital signature of the Competent Authority is downloaded, granting legal permission for groundbreaking.
