Frequently ask questions
You are required to obtain several approvals for plaza construction in Pakistan. Building plan approval form, LDA or CDA, depending on your city, is a must-have. A formal building permit may also be required to commence construction.
The use of low-quality materials can result in unexpected loss in plaza construction. Poor materials can result in increased safety risks and vulnerability to disasters.
We ensure active fire protection systems, such as smoke detectors and manual pull stations, for instant alert. Fire extinguishers are strategically placed throughout the plaza for protection.
Parking and service access are designed in a designated area for a clear separation. We also make multi-parking structures to accommodate the number of visitors and employees.
Our geotechnical engineer performs a soil analysis of your location to identify soil properties. Several solutions are employed if your soil is weak. An appropriate foundation system is suggested based on your soil report.
