Start with identity, intended use, planning context and access—not just plot area. A preliminary discussion helps identify the information needed before a meaningful architectural proposal can be developed.
Start with a conversation. No finished drawings needed.

01 / Start with what the land tells you.Illustrative study. Not a survey or approved plan.
01 / The starting point
What can I build on my plot?
That question needs a site-specific review, not a generic floor-area promise. Start with the plot identity, proposed use, access and applicable planning context.
02 / A site-assessment register
Five checks before the first concept.
Use this to organise a conversation, not to score the plot as “approved” or “developable”. Missing information is a useful finding—not a reason to guess.
Working questionBring what you knowWhy it matters / next check
01Identify the plot
Location pin, village or ward and survey / Gat / CTS number, if known.
The assessment needs to refer to the right parcel—not just a postal address.
A current record, a boundary discrepancy or measurement information may need verification.
02Define the intended use
What you want to build, how it will be occupied and the stage of the idea.
A house, warehouse and commercial premises do not raise identical design and servicing questions.
An initial brief can identify the architectural and engineering inputs needed.
03Establish planning context
Available land records, previous permissions and any known plan or zoning information.
Jurisdiction and land-use context affect which questions and authority checks are relevant.
Confirm the applicable authority and current planning position before drawing conclusions.
04Understand access & conditions
Approach-road information, approximate levels, known drainage and existing structures.
Physical access and site conditions influence whether an intended arrangement is sensible.
A site visit, measured survey or specialist assessment may be needed by agreement.
05Separate facts from assumptions
List what is documented, what you have been told and what remains unknown.
An unverified statement is not a reliable design input.
Agree which records or professional checks should precede a concept study.
This is preliminary consultancy. Legal title review, licensed boundary measurement, valuation and statutory determinations require the appropriately qualified professional or authority. No maximum building area or approval can be confirmed from this checklist alone.
03 / Prepare your enquiry
Bring the question. Start the conversation.
Your name, callback number and project locality are enough to begin. Add a little context if you can; email and a longer description are optional.
Site pin, city / village and survey / Gat / CTS reference
Approximate plot area and source of that measurement
Available land records, access information and any previous permissions
The intended use and the specific decision you are considering
A conversation, then a scope
What happens after you enquire?
You do not have to know the technical answer before speaking to us. The first conversation is about establishing the right question.
01 / You share
The property & the intent.
Tell us where the site is, what you hope to do and what is uncertain. A brief description is enough for an initial enquiry.
02 / We discuss
The appropriate next step.
We discuss the architectural or engineering scope, information gaps and matters requiring authority or specialist input.
03 / You decide
An informed appointment.
If further work is appropriate, scope, deliverables, fees and responsibilities are agreed before it proceeds.
04 / Before we speak
Before we speak.
Can you confirm the maximum building area from the plot size alone?
No. A meaningful assessment also needs the applicable planning framework, site conditions, access, reservations or other constraints and the proposed use. An online area estimate is not a sanctioned development entitlement.
Do you verify ownership before I buy land?
Architectural review does not certify ownership or clear title. Engage a suitably qualified lawyer for title due diligence, and an authorised survey professional where boundary or measurement verification is needed.
Is every Bhiwandi site governed by the same authority?
No. Establish the actual site jurisdiction. MMRDA publishes a distinct Bhiwandi Surrounding Notified Area planning framework; a Bhiwandi postal address alone is not enough to select the permission route.
