Residential Construction Permit Service Configuration

Description

Construction or renovation of buildings is regulated by Municipal Body in India. One must get permission from the ULB prior to construction. This process involves submitting the building plan to ULB along with other documents, ULB verifies the plan with other documents and approves the construction. The document which authorizes the construction is called “Permit Order” One must have this permit order with him till the completion of construction. ULB officials will inspect various stages of construction and make sure it is in compliance with the plan. When construction completed, after inspection Secretary provides a “Completion certificate” and finally will provide an “Occupancy Certificate”. This entire process is known as “Building Plan Approval”.

Setup and usage

The Application is present among the municipal services group of applications available in the eGov-services git repository with the folder name bpa-services. The spring boot application needs the Lombok* extension added in your IDE to load it. Once the application is up and running API requests can be posted to the URL and ids can be generated.

  • in the case of IntelliJ, the plugin can be installed directly, for eclipse the Lombok jar location has to be added in eclipse.ini file in this format javaagent:lombok.jar

API Information

DocumentTypeMapping

List’s out the documents required at the given stage of the application for Given ApplicationType, ServiceType, RiskType and WorklowState.

In the docTypes we have

  • Order - Indicates the sequence of the document

  • Code - Refers to the DocumentType parentGroup from DocumentTypes from common masters MDMS

  • allow - Indicates allow to edit

  • required - Mandatory at given stage

{ "applicationType": "BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY", "ServiceType": "NEW_CONSTRUCTION", "RiskType": "LOW", "WFState": "INPROGRESS", "docTypes": [ { "code": "APPL.IDENTITYPROOF", "required": false, "allow": "false", "order": 1 }, { "code": "APPL.ADDRESSPROOF", "required": true, "allow": "true", "order": 2 } ]}

Above example indicates Documents from the common-master documentTypes starting with code(s) in the above example should be displayed in BPA Application UI when the Application of ApplicationType -BUILDINGPLAN_SCRUTINY ServiceType- NEW_CONSTRUCTION RiskType- LOW Workflow State - INPROGRESS Out of this, IDENTITY documentType is not allowed to upload in this stage and not mandatory. ADDRESSPROOF documentType is allowed to upload in this stage and mandatory to move forward from this stage.

CalculationType

Used by bpa-calculator Service which Defines the Fee to be collected for Given ApplicationType, ServiceType, RiskType and feeType

{ "applicationType": "BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY", "serviceType": "ALL", "riskType": "LOW", "feeType": "SanctionFee", "amount": 500 }, { "applicationType": "BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY", "serviceType": "NEW_CONSTRUCTION", "riskType": "ALL", "feeType": "ApplicationFee", "amount": 120 }, { "applicationType": "BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY", "serviceType": "NEW_CONSTRUCTION", "riskType": "LOW", "feeType": "Low_ApplicationFee", "amount": 100 },

From the above example

  1. indicates SanctionFee is Rs 500 for applicationType=BuildingPlanScrutiny, RiskType=LOW and any ServiceType

  2. indicates applicationFee is Rs 120 for applicationType=BuildingPlanScrutiny, ServiceType=NEW_CONSTRUCTION and any RiskType

    1. indicates applicationFee is Rs 100 for applicationType=BuildingPlanScrutiny, ServiceType=NEW_CONSTRUCTION and RiskType=LOW

RiskTypeComputation

Helps to Defines the RiskType of the Application based on the building Height and plotArea received from the EDCR System

{"fromPlotArea": 500, "toPlotArea": 9999999999, "fromBuildingHeight": 15, "toBuildingHeight":9999999999, "riskType": "HIGH", "note": "(Heigh 15 Mt or More) or ( Plot area >=800 sq.Mt)" }

CheckList

  1. Used to Define the List of Questions and Documents to be attached on Field Inspection Pending Stage by Field Inspector.

The Example indicates

Four Questions with fieldType “YES/NO/NA“ ( Which indicates that field of type dropdown with Yes, NO and NA options) should be asked.

Readable question will be available in

2. Used to configure the conditions for Approval Stage

Condition checkboxes to be shown before approve which can be considered as Conditions for Approval

  1. Field Inspection Questions & Documents { "applicationType": "BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY", "ServiceType": "NEW_CONSTRUCTION", "RiskType": "LOW", "WFState": "FIELDINSPECTION_PENDING", "questions": [ { "question": "RIVER_EXISTS_ON_SITE", "fieldType": "YES/NO/NA", "active": true }, { "question": "TREE_EXISTS_ON_SITE", "fieldType": "YES/NO/NA", "active": true }, { "question": "PLAN_AS_PER_THE_SITE", "fieldType": "YES/NO/NA", "active": true }, { "question": "ROADWIDTH_AS_PER_THE_PLAN", "fieldType": "YES/NO/NA", "active": true } ], "docTypes": [ { "code": "FI.FIR", "required": true }, { "code": "FI.SINS", "required": true }, { "code": "FI.SISS", "required": true }, { "code": "FI.SIES", "required": true }, { "code": "FI.SIWS", "required": true } ] }

2. Conditions for Approval Stage { "applicationType": "BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY", "ServiceType": "NEW_CONSTRUCTION", "RiskType": "HIGH", "WFState": "PENDINGAPPROVAL", "conditions": [ "The development shall be undertaken strictly according to plans enclosed with necessary permission endorsement.", "The land in question must be in lawful ownership and peaceful possession of the applicant.", "The permission is valid for period of X(this is the validity period in years) years with effect from the date of issue.", "Permission accorded under the provision cannot be construed as evidence in respect of right title interest of the plot over which the plan is approved.", "Any dispute arising out of land record or in respect of right/ title/ interest after this approval the plan shall be treated automatically cancelled during the period of dispute.", "Adequate safety precaution shall be provided at all stages of construction for safe guarding the life of workers and any public hazard.", "The land/ Building shall be used exclusively for the above occupancy for which you applied and the uses shall not be changed to any other use without prior approval of this Authority.", "Adequate space mentioned in the approved plan shall be kept open for parking and no part of it will be built upon.", "The land over which construction is proposed is accessible by an approved means of access with sufficient road width." ] }

NocTypeMapping

Mapping of the NOC Types applicable for BPA ApplicationType, ServiceType and riskType

From the Example

AIRPORT_AUTHORITY, NOC_FIRE NOC’s are applicable for applicationType → BULDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY

serviceType-> NEW_CONSTRUCTION

riskType-> ALL ( Any )

NocTypes-> list out the NOC Type object

and NOC Applications get created when BPA is created by the NOC’s Workflow would be initiated when the BPA application Status is equl to the nocTriggerState configured. ( According to this example, when the application status changes to Citizen Approval Pending, all the NOc’s workflow would be initiated)

{ "applicationType": "BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY", "serviceType": "NEW_CONSTRUCTION", "riskType": "ALL", "nocTriggerState": "CITIZEN_APPROVAL_INPROCESS", "nocTypes": [ { "type": "AIRPORT_AUTHORITY", "required": true }, { "type": "FIRE_NOC", "required": false } ] }

Workflow Configuration

BPA - Building Plan Approval Apply High/Medium Risk

BPA Low – Building Plan Approval Apply Low Risk

BPA OC - Building Plan Approval Occupancy Certificate Apply

BPA and BPA OC Workflow Stages

BPA workflow configuration is for Building Plan Approval Apply High and Medium Risk Types.

      • Should change the nocTriggerState in NocTypeMapping to the desired application status.

  • InProgress Stage

    • Process

      • Application fee Demand gets generated by the bpa-calculator

Notifications

Notifications Message codes for SMS and User Events are prepared as follows

ApplicationType_ServiceType_WorkflowAction_ApplicationStatus.

Example BPA Apply Application (i.e applicationType is BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY) with ServiceType NEW_CONSTRUCTION and the current application status is DOCUMENT_VERIFICATION_PENDING and workflow Action of the request is FORWARD then the localized message for this notification will be looked for the code: BUILDING_PLAN_SCRUTINY_NEW_CONSTRUCTION_FORWARD_DOCUMENT_VERIFICATION_PENDING

The message text for the above code is sent through SMS and Notification filling in the owner, serviceType, application Number and other values.
