Building a house in Hyderabad: what to know

Map approval
the municipal corporation for the plot's ward (GHMC, Cyberabad or Malkajgiri), or HMDA or DTCP outside them — Telangana's BuildNow portal, which replaced TG-bPASS for every GHMC, HMDA and DTCP application from 15 December 2025. Houses on plots up to 75 sq yd only need to be registered online, and BuildNow processes a building permission in 21 days. Individual houses on plots up to 200 sq m and up to 7 m high need not apply for an occupancy certificate.
Plot sizes
Plots are bought and sold in square yards (gajalu in Telugu; 1 sq yd = 9 sq ft), and BuildNow's rules use them too. In plot listings read in October 2026, most plots were 100–300 sq yd; 183, 200 and 220 sq yd came up more than once.
Climate
Composite. A hot, dry summer and a humid monsoon in the same year: shade the roof and walls, keep west-facing glass small, and make openable windows at least 12.5% of the floor area.
Earthquake zone
Seismic Zone II. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply.
Ground and water
HMDA's lakes portal maps each notified lake's full tank level (FTL) and buffer zone, with the survey numbers that fall inside them. Check the plot's survey number there before buying, and keep the house clear of the FTL and buffer.
Where people build
Kokapet, Narsingi, Bachupally, Shamshabad, Sainikpuri, Ghatkesar.
Good to know
On 11 February 2026 GHMC was split into three corporations: GHMC (150 wards), Cyberabad (76 wards) and Malkajgiri (74 wards). The ward your plot is in decides which one approves the plan.

Who approves house plans in Hyderabad?

the municipal corporation for the plot's ward (GHMC, Cyberabad or Malkajgiri), or HMDA or DTCP outside them, through Telangana's BuildNow portal, which replaced TG-bPASS for every GHMC, HMDA and DTCP application from 15 December 2025. Houses on plots up to 75 sq yd only need to be registered online, and BuildNow processes a building permission in 21 days. Individual houses on plots up to 200 sq m and up to 7 m high need not apply for an occupancy certificate. We prepare the drawings it asks for and guide you through the approval.

Which plot sizes are common in Hyderabad?

Plots are bought and sold in square yards (gajalu in Telugu; 1 sq yd = 9 sq ft), and BuildNow's rules use them too. In plot listings read in October 2026, most plots were 100–300 sq yd; 183, 200 and 220 sq yd came up more than once. We draw plans for any plot size, including odd shapes.

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

Seismic Zone II. 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 Hyderabad?

HMDA's lakes portal maps each notified lake's full tank level (FTL) and buffer zone, with the survey numbers that fall inside them. Check the plot's survey number there before buying, and keep the house clear of the FTL and buffer. We size the foundation after a soil check.

Do you make "inti plan" (house plans) for Hyderabad?

Yes. "inti plan" is how many people in Hyderabad write "house plan" in Telugu. We draw the complete set: floor plans, 3D elevation, and structural, electrical and plumbing drawings.
