Building Plans and Approval in Uganda
We handle building plans and approval in Uganda, preparing the drawings and documents you need to build legally and with confidence, in Kampala and across the country.
Approved plans before you build
Super Bis Limited prepares building plans and approval in Uganda submissions for houses, apartments, schools, churches and commercial buildings. Building without approved plans can lead to fines, stopped works or demolition, and makes it harder to sell or mortgage the property later.
Our architect prepares the architectural drawings, and our engineers prepare structural and services drawings, so the full set is consistent and ready for review.
What we prepare
- Site and location plans
- Floor plans, elevations and sections
- Structural drawings and calculations
- Drainage and plumbing layouts
- Electrical layouts
- Working drawings and construction details
- As-built drawings for completed buildings
How the approval process works
- Confirm requirementsWe check the planning rules and submission requirements for your area.
- Prepare drawingsWe produce the full drawing set and supporting documents.
- SubmitWe help you submit to the relevant authority with proof of land ownership.
- Respond to commentsIf the authority requests changes, we revise the drawings.
Check your land first
Approval requires proof of ownership. If your title is not ready, our land title processing and surveying services can help.
Already built without plans?
We can prepare as-built drawings of existing buildings, which are often needed when regularising a property.
What affects the cost of building plans
- Size and number of floors of the building.
- Drawings required: architectural only, or full structural and services sets.
- Location: some authorities require extra reports or documents.
- Revisions: changes requested after submission.
Plans follow our architectural design and planning work, and approved plans go straight to our building construction team.
Building Plans and Approval FAQs
Who approves building plans in Uganda?
In Kampala, building plans are approved by the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA). Elsewhere they are approved by the relevant municipal, town or district local government. Requirements vary, so we confirm them for your location.
What drawings are needed for approval?
Typically a site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, structural drawings and drainage details, together with proof of land ownership. Larger buildings may need additional reports.
Can you guarantee approval?
No consultant can guarantee approval, because the decision belongs to the authority. What we do is prepare complete, compliant drawings and respond to any comments, which gives your application the best chance.
