CONSTRUCTION PERMITS APPLICATION CHECKLIST
INTRODUCTION
The Ministry of Infrastructure through Rwanda Housing Authority has put in place a regulatory framework composed of Policies, laws, regulations and standards in an effort to organize the Construction Industry in Rwanda. In addition, several application forms for construction permits have been designed.
In order to facilitate the assessment of all required documents and application forms for projects in the construction profession, Rwanda Housing Authority has elaborated the present “Construction Application Checklist”. The entire document is based on regulations in force as well as workmanship logic.
The checklist was designed based on the stages of application which include two stages of Preliminary and detailed design for big projects and one single application for small projects; where big and small projects are defined based on the building coverage area, the number of floors, the number of users and at the same times on use of the project.
TYPE OF PROJECTS COVERAGE AREA
NUMBER OF
FLOORS
NUMBER OF USERS
Big projects > 1000m2 > G+1 > 100
Small projects ≤ 1000m2 ≤ G+1 ≤ 100
