How to Proceed with Building a Multi-Storied Building in Jolshiri Abashon, Bashundhara R/A, Uttara Model Town, or Purbachal New Town
Introduction
If you own land in one of Dhaka’s prime residential zones—Jolshiri Abashon, Bashundhara R/A, Uttara Model Town, or Purbachal New Town—and are planning to develop a multi-storied building, you're investing in long-term value.
These areas are quickly emerging as one of Dhaka’s most prestigious planned communities. So you’re already on the path to creating high-value real estate.
But where do you begin? What permits do you need? Who should design it?
At Studio 16 Architects, we guide local and overseas clients through the entire journey—from concept to construction. Here's a complete step-by-step guide tailored to these fast-growing urban zones.
Understand the Local Building Regulations
Each of these zones—whether Jolshiri, Bashundhara, Uttara, or Purbachal—is governed by different authorities:
Jolshiri Abashon: Controlled by the Army Housing Directorate, Dhaka Cantonment Board
Bashundhara R/A: Privately governed and regulated strictly under RAJUK
Uttara Model Town: Regulated strictly under RAJUK
Purbachal New Town: Regulated strictly under RAJUK
Key factors to consider:
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) limits
Setbacks and height restrictions
Required parking and green spaces
Approval from RAJUK or Contonment Board
We have practical experience working with each of these authorities and can ensure compliance from the start.
PHASE 1: Design & Approval Process
This is the foundation of your dream building. Here’s how we begin:
Step 01: Appoint a Registered Architect / Firm
You must work with a RAJUK-approved and zone-licensed architectural firm to avoid legal delays. Studio 16 Architects is fully registered and experienced in all these areas.
We offer:
Land assessment
Customized layout planning

We Studio 16 Architects begin with a meeting to understand your vision, project size, and preferences. Based on this, we send a detailed design proposal with scope, timeline, and fee structure.
