Guidance only

Plinthly’s results are for guidance and early planning. They are not a building approval, sanction, or professional certification of any kind.

What is covered

The Bylaw Calculator covers buildings up to 18 m. High-rise buildings are not covered yet. Some authority mappings are assumed, such as the new Cyberabad and Malkajgiri corporations following GHMC norms; see Sources for the full list.

The authority decides

The final word on any building proposal rests with the competent authority: GHMC, HMDA, DTCP, the municipal corporations, municipalities and gram panchayats, and the departments they consult. Their reading of the rules, master plans and site conditions prevails over anything shown here.

Fees are estimates

Fee figures are estimated ranges built from published rates. Some charges are not included, and the amounts actually levied at approval will differ.

Rules change

Government Orders are amended often. Every calculator shows the date its rules were last checked; see Sources for the orders used. A newer order may change a result.

No liability

Arch21 Studios (OPC) Private Limited and SurgeDeep Technologies LLP accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of these results. Have every design and submission checked by a qualified architect or engineer before you rely on it.
