BPA Release Notes

Overview

Occupancy certificate is an additional service in the building plan module. The architect has to apply for an occupancy certificate after completing the construction with the permit issued by the ULB/Department as reference. 

To create an Occupancy certificate, OC eDCR scrutiny is mandatory where the architect has to submit the diagram of the actual construction. It is normal that there will be some deviation from what was planned for construction and what was actually constructed.

OC eDCR will validate whether the actual construction is complying to the by-laws and check for deviation from the originally planned diagram for which the permit was issued.
