Building a house in Orai: what to know

Map approval
The Orai Development Authority (ODA), under the UP Building Bye-laws 2025. Plans go online on FASTPAS (map.up.gov.in), which replaced UPOBPAS in 2026. Under UP's 2025 building bye-laws, house plots up to 100 sq m need no permission, only online registration with a ₹1 token and a self-certified plan (not in mela areas, unauthorised colonies or on government or disputed land), and single-house plots up to 500 sq m in approved layouts get instant online approval once a licensed professional certifies the plan.
Plot sizes
Plots in Orai are bought and sold in sq ft, while the 2025 bye-laws count plot size in square metres. Listings seen in October 2026 ran from 500 to 2,000 sq ft and were mostly 800–1,200 sq ft, including plots of 875 and 1,000 sq ft in Sushil Nagar.
Climate
Composite. Orai falls in the Composite zone of BEE's climate map: hot, dry summers and a humid monsoon in one year, so insulate and shade the roof, keep west and south glass small, and still give every room cross-ventilation.
Earthquake zone
Seismic Zone II. Orai is not in IS 1893's table of towns. The UP State Disaster Management Authority lists Jalaun district, whose headquarters is Orai, as completely in Zone II, and BMTPC's Vulnerability Atlas of India (2019) puts all of it in Zone II. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply.
Ground and water
CGWB's Jalaun brochure (2012–13) describes alluvium of clay, kankar, sand and gravel over Bundelkhand granite, black cotton soils (mar and kabar) that swell and shrink in the central parts of the district, and ravines along the rivers, and it measured the water table at 0.56–31.20 m below ground before the 2012 monsoon, so find out whether your plot sits on black cotton soil before you build.
Where people build
Sushil Nagar, Indra Nagar, Tulsi Nagar, Shanti Nagar, Tulsidham Colony.
Good to know
On 22 October 2026 the Orai Development Authority sealed a building of about 290 sq m going up without an approved map on Kalpi Road, opposite the bus depot, and asked everyone to get their map approved before they start building.

The Orai Development Authority (ODA), under the UP Building Bye-laws 2025. Plans go online on FASTPAS (map.up.gov.in), which replaced UPOBPAS in 2026. Under UP's 2025 building bye-laws, house plots up to 100 sq m need no permission, only online registration with a ₹1 token and a self-certified plan (not in mela areas, unauthorised colonies or on government or disputed land), and single-house plots up to 500 sq m in approved layouts get instant online approval once a licensed professional certifies the plan. We prepare the drawings it asks for and guide you through the approval.

Which plot sizes are common in Orai?

Plots in Orai are bought and sold in sq ft, while the 2025 bye-laws count plot size in square metres. Listings seen in October 2026 ran from 500 to 2,000 sq ft and were mostly 800–1,200 sq ft, including plots of 875 and 1,000 sq ft in Sushil Nagar. We draw plans for any plot size, including odd shapes.

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

Seismic Zone II. Orai is not in IS 1893's table of towns. The UP State Disaster Management Authority lists Jalaun district, whose headquarters is Orai, as completely in Zone II, and BMTPC's Vulnerability Atlas of India (2019) puts all of it in 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 Orai?

CGWB's Jalaun brochure (2012–13) describes alluvium of clay, kankar, sand and gravel over Bundelkhand granite, black cotton soils (mar and kabar) that swell and shrink in the central parts of the district, and ravines along the rivers, and it measured the water table at 0.56–31.20 m below ground before the 2012 monsoon, so find out whether your plot sits on black cotton soil before you build. We size the foundation after a soil check.

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