Building a residential property involves many complex rules and regulations determined by local authorities and government bodies. CMDA is the primary organization that governs these regulations to ensure sustainability, safety, and urban development. These rules were established in 1975 for the construction and development of residential buildings within the Chennai Metropolitan Area.
This majorly covers a total area being around 1189 sq. kilometers which includes three administrative districts – Kancheepuram, Chennai, and Thiruvallur.
People involved in residential construction, like homeowners, developers, or architects, are essential to get CMDA Approval. It helps maintain the quality of buildings with regulated land use, building height, and density.
