Why 60 Days ?
Can Be in 10 !
==========================
Times of India ( 10 Dec ) carries following news
report :
“ Online Building Approval System to
cover 500 Cities “
All the 500 cities covered under Atal Mission for Urban Rejuvenation (AMRUT) will introduce online building approval system in the next one year, housing and urban affairs minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Tuesday.
Currently, this
facility for citizens is available only in Delhi and Mumbai where the period for sanctioning
building plan has reduced to 60 days.
Under the online system, an applicant just has to fill one centralised form and the application is automatically forwarded to the agencies concerned like the municipality, water supply agency and fire department.
Since there is no physical
interaction between the applicant
and government officials, there is hardly any scope of paying a bribe.
"The agencies
concerned have to approve or give the reason for not approving the plans.
This system is
transparent. The online system minimises hassles that people face. States like Maharashtra and Madhya
Pradesh have delegated the power of giving environmental clearance for buildings up to certain coverage
area to local authorities. We expect more states will follow suit," said a
housing ministry official.
Since the online building permit system started in Mumbai, the number of procedures from beginning to the end has been reduced from 42 to only eight and in Delhi, these have come down from earlier 29 procedures to only eight.
Similarly, the number
of days for completing the process has been reduced to 60 in both cities in comparison to the earlier practice
of nearly six months in Mumbai and over seven months in Delhi.
Dear Shri Hardeep
Singh Puriji ,
Imagine this scenario :
India’s rank on “ Ease of Doing
Business “ moves up from current 100 to 50 , in 2018 !
It is possible if your Ministry fully
implements my following suggestion ( - now, only partly implemented ) , sent to
the Cabinet , TWO YEARS ago ( 04 Nov
2015 ) :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-Delivery
of Services to Construction Industry
Here
is how :
*
All builders / developers must register
on Municipal Web sites and obtain
unique BUILDER REGISTRATION NUMBER
*
Builders must fill in online, on web
site of concerned Municipality, a form :
BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION
*
Building Permit Application Form will
have a STANDARD FORMAT , into
which applicant will need to submit exhaustive details re the project
This will include detailed Floor Plans and Structural Drawings , along with
names / contact details of Architects / Structural Engineers etc
The FORM will require slab-casting dates for each slab and the final
completion date when builder will apply for Occupation Certificate
*
The Form will have a section called
SELF
CERTIFICATION / DECLARATION
Builder would be required to tick YES / NO against each item as shown :
Does your proposed Building / Structure
/ Project , satisfy the criteria /
notifications / regulations , issued by the concerned Ministries in respect
of :
# Built-up Area........... ( YES ) / ( NO
)
# Height Restriction
# Fire Fighting
# Water Harvesting
# Roof-top Solar Power
# Effluent Treatment
# Garbage Disposal
# Earthquake Resistant Structural Design..............etc
Clicking
on each item will reveal the relevant " Notification / Regulation "
issued by the concerned Ministry
To
make the process absolutely fool-proof , the form will insist on an "
Electronic Signature " of the applicant
DECLARATION / UNDERTAKING :
"
I declare that I have read each and
every notification / regulation , listed in respect of items
mentioned above
I
further declare that I explicitly agree to abide by these regulations
I
am aware that Occupation Certificate will not be granted if my completed
project is found to be in violation of any of these notifications / regulations
I
will not allow any person / entity to occupy any part of this premises , until
and unless , Municipality issues to me , the Occupation Certificate
If
Municipality finds any violations , I agree to rectify the same before applying
for a fresh Occupation Certificate
If
Municipality is not in a position to issue Occupation Certificate due to any
violations
which simply cannot be rectified , then I will demolish the said building /
project / structure on my own and before such demolition , refund with
interest , payments collected from the buyers
The
plot of land is free from any encumbrances / litigations
I
am not in default of any loans taken from any bank / individuals
I
will not accept any payment in cash , nor make cash payments
I
absolve the Municipal Corporation of any liability arising out of non
completion of my project
I
agree that my Building Permit Application and my Registration Application
details , be made accessible to public on your web site , along with full
details of my past / current projects and full details of my balance sheet /
bank borrowings "
GRANT OF APPROVALS BY MINISTRIES :
As
soon as the builder submits the online BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION , it
automatically and instantly , appears on the
web sites of ALL the concerned Ministries
The
concerned officer of each Ministry , makes APPROVED
/ REJECTED entries in the application form , from the backend
If rejected , he will provide the reasons
Ministry
officers are required to carry out this entry , within 24 hours
As
soon as an officer of any Ministry makes entry and SUBMITS , the application
forms on web sites of ALL Ministries and web site of the concerned Municipality
, get updated simultaneously and instantly , making for MIRROR IMAGES at all times
As
soon as any entry is made , a copy gets emailed to the applicant builder
Any " editing " of the application form by
the builder , will start the entire process , all over
Applicant
builder will be obliged to display the latest emailed form at the site
The
database so created on web sites of ALL Ministries - and concerned Municipality
- will be searchable State-wise / City-wise
CHANGES IN RELEVANT LAWS :
To
speed up any litigation between the parties concerned ( Builder / Buyers /
Central & State Govts / Municipality / Bankers etc ) , existing laws may be
changed
IMPORTANT
:
Every
application must be in the open domain and visible to anyone , online and
transparently
There
should be provision for any visitor of the web site to report any abuse /
violation of regulations or any objection to the proposed construction
ADVANTAGES :
If
such SELF CERTIFICATION process is implemented , it should be possible for
India to beat Singapore , where getting 11 approval takes only 26 days !
It would be ZERO days in our case !
Now
couple this with abolition of Corporate Income
Tax for Construction Industry for the next 10 years and witness a
MIRACLE
Then
only it would become possible for achieving the following targets set by
different States / Centre , under HOUSING FOR ALL:
*
Maharashtra........... 5
lakh ( By 2020 )
*
Gujarat................... 50 lakh ( 2013 - 2018 )
*
Centre.................... 220 lakh
( by 2022 )
Also
imagine :
*
Employment it would generate
*
FDI it would bring in
*
Our rank in EASE OF DOING BUSINESS
Need
of the hour is :
*
Come out of " Analysis Paralysis "
*
Get rid of historical baggage
*
Break free from the legacy of the past
*
Think " Out of Box "
*
Take risk without worrying about
possible failure
*
Make Course-Corrections , as you learn
what mistakes got made

Subject: TWO YEARS TO PLAN ? HOW MANY TO BUILD ?
Did You Say “
Mission Mode “ ?
===================
In DNA ( 08 Dec 2017 ) , I came across following news
:
“ Govt to offer perks to develop private land for cheap homes “
Highlights :
·
Housing shortfall in Maharashtra ………… 19.4 lakh
·
Of this, for EWS & LIG categories…………..
18 lakh
·
Land to be selected by bidding by MHADA
·
EWS = Annual Income of Rs 3 lakh ( 300 sq
ft flats )
·
LIG = Annual Income of Rs 6
lakh ( 600 sq ft flats )
·
Land owner can develop affordable houses under the PPP model or on his
own
·
FSI = 2.5
·
Subsidy from Govt under PMAY
·
Land to be free of encumbrances
·
Land should be near a Railway Station / Metro Station / Bus Depot /
Schools
After land selection, project proposal
to be forwarded to Centre for subsidy
I got reminded of what Shri Ravindra Waikar , Minister for Housing , Maharashtra
Government , said ( DNA / 16
Aug 2015 ), more than 2 years ago :
" We want to
provide a dream house to everyone by 2020 . We won't compromise on the quality
of construction . It will be at par with that of private builders . We are working on a mission mode "
That was when I had
sent him following suggestion :
Highlights :
# SPECIFICATIONS
* Carpet Area = 400 sq ft
* Selling Price = Rs 10 lakhs ( Rs 2,500 /
sq ft )
# LOCATIONS
* Building Clusters to be located on the
outskirts of cities ( important )
* 100 Clusters of 50 buildings ( each with 10 floors*10 flats/floor )
# LEGAL FRAME-WORK
* A Special Purpose Vehicle ( SPV ) ,
named,
Dream House Private Limited ( DHPL )
# INDUSTRY STATUS
* Infrastructure Industry
with 100 % FDI thru automatic route
# SPV OWNERSHIP
* 10 % equity by Maha Govt ( in lieu of
land )
Maha Govt to pass on this equity to land-owners
* 90 % equity by WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co ( China )
# SHARE CAPITAL
* Rs 10,000 Crores
#
ROLE OF MAHARASHTRA
GOVERNMENT
* Acquire land ( under modified Land
Acquisition Act ) / hand over to SPV
* Comprehensive Town Planning of each
Cluster like a Smart City
* Building Design / Drawings / Material
Specs
* Quality Control / Material Testing Lab
at each site
* A Project Monitoring Team at each site /
Use of PERT
* Site surveillance using CCTV cameras
* Make available land for setting up 3D
House Printing factories
* Interconnection of site offices with HQ
, thru VPN
* Blanket permissions ( IOD / NOC etc )
issued in advance
* OC based on certification from Site
Project Manager
* Maintenance of flats thru Coop Societies
of each cluster
#
COMMERCIALS
* Neither SPV , nor Maha Govt to pay any
royalty to WinSun for
transfer of technology
* Maha Govt to act as the agency for
allotment of flats to eligible public
in Maharashtra thru a " Lottery System "
* Selling Price of flats will be fixed by
the Maharashtra Government
once a year , based on a pre-agreed cost - escalation
formula, which
will be explained in detail on SPV web site
Calculation of each upward revision shall be made public
* SPV to hand over possession of flat to
the allotee upon receipt of
full payment
* SPV shall not be permitted direct
selling of any flat in Maharashtra
* SPV would be free to set up factories in
other States and be free to
sell flats built there, thru Open Market Sale
# ROLE OF WinSun
* Setting up of 20 factories for 3D
Printing of flats
* Assembling of 3D printed flats at sites
* Transfer of 3D house printing technology
to Indian project managers /
site engineers / construction workers
#
TECHNOLOGY
* 3D ( house ) Printing Technology
developed / patented by WinSun
> WHY WinSun
?
# On 29 March 2014 ,
WinSun constructed TEN , 3D printed houses ( 200 sq
meter each ) in Shanghai, each costing $ 4,800 ( approx Rs 3 lakh ! )
#
On 17 July 2015 , using its 3D printing
technology , WinSun built a 2 storey villa , in just 3 HOURS !
#
WinSun holds 98 patents for construction materials
#
For 3D printing of houses , WinSun ,
mostly uses recycled construction materials
#
3D house-printing technology saves,
* 30% -60 % of building materials
* 70 % of production time
* 80 % of construction cost
#
Egypt Government has placed on WinSun ,
an order for supplying 20,000
pre-fabricated , 3D printed houses
#
In Egypt , WinSun will establish 12 Dream Factories ( to build pre-fabricated
houses ) , within 2 years
These factories will mostly use desert sand as its main construction material
, which was found ideal for 3D printing of houses !
#
In next 3 years , WinSun will set up (
in JV with local parties ) , similar factories in 20
countries , including Saudi
Arabia , UAE , Qatar , Mexico , S. Korea ,
Russia , Morocco , Tunisia ,
and USA
Dear
Shri Waikar :
I
am glad that a part of my suggestion is under implementation by the Maharashtra
Government
I
urge you to consider the balance of my suggestions as well
