Building a house in Chandigarh: what to know

Map approval
the Estate Office of the Chandigarh Administration — Chandigarh's Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPS). Plans have been filed online only since 1 October 2018. On residential plots an empanelled architect can self-certify the plan: the owner gives 15 days' notice and may start building if no objection is raised. Since September 2026, Council of Architecture-registered architects can submit directly.
Plot sizes
Plots are measured in kanal and marla: 1 kanal = 20 marla = 5,445 sq ft (505.86 sq m), and 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft. Houses (kothis) are mostly on 10-marla and 1-kanal sites, and Estate Office auctions also quote sites in square yards.
Climate
Composite. Hot summers and cold winters at the foot of the Shivaliks: an insulated roof, south-facing living rooms and cross-ventilation.
Earthquake zone
Seismic Zone IV. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply.
Ground and water
The water table has fallen at 55% of the city's monitored tubewells, against 38% nationally, and the National Green Tribunal has asked the city to make rainwater harvesting mandatory.
Where people build
Sectors 5, 8, 9 and 10, Sector 16, Sectors 15, 18 and 20.
Good to know
In a June 2026 Estate Office e-auction a 1-kanal site in Sector 21 sold for ₹18.88 crore and a 10-marla site in Sector 15-B for ₹8.33 crore.

Who approves house plans in Chandigarh?

the Estate Office of the Chandigarh Administration, through Chandigarh's Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPS). Plans have been filed online only since 1 October 2018. On residential plots an empanelled architect can self-certify the plan: the owner gives 15 days' notice and may start building if no objection is raised. Since September 2026, Council of Architecture-registered architects can submit directly. We prepare the drawings it asks for and guide you through the approval.

Which plot sizes are common in Chandigarh?

Plots are measured in kanal and marla: 1 kanal = 20 marla = 5,445 sq ft (505.86 sq m), and 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft. Houses (kothis) are mostly on 10-marla and 1-kanal sites, and Estate Office auctions also quote sites in square yards. We draw plans for any plot size, including odd shapes.

Which earthquake zone is Chandigarh in, and does it change the design?

Seismic Zone IV. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply. We design the structure to IS 1893 for this zone: column sizes, steel and foundations are calculated, not guessed.

What should I know about the ground before building in Chandigarh?

The water table has fallen at 55% of the city's monitored tubewells, against 38% nationally, and the National Green Tribunal has asked the city to make rainwater harvesting mandatory. We size the foundation after a soil check.

Do you make "ghar ka naksha" (house plans) for Chandigarh?

Yes. "ghar ka naksha" is how many people in Chandigarh write "house plan" in Hindi. We draw the complete set: floor plans, 3D elevation, and structural, electrical and plumbing drawings.
