What is RAJUK’s ECPS? A Complete Guide to the Electronic Construction Permitting System


In the past, applying for a construction permit in Dhaka meant a lengthy and often confusing paper-based process. To address this, RAJUK (Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha) launched the Electronic Construction Permitting System (ECPS)—a digital platform designed to streamline, simplify, and bring transparency to the entire building approval process.


At Studio 16 Architects, we’ve been working actively with ECPS since its rollout and are helping both local and overseas clients benefit from this transformation.





  1. What Is ECPS?

ECPS stands for Electronic Construction Permitting System, a web-based platform developed by RAJUK under the Urban Resilience Project (URP) and supported by the World Bank.


The address of RAJUK's ECPS is Following:


Interface of RAJUK's ECPS

It allows registered architects, engineers, and landowners to:

  • Submit building plans and applications digitally

  • Track approval status online

  • Receive official notices and updates through the platform

  • Avoid unnecessary delays and in-person visits

This is now mandatory for all new building approvals in RAJUK-governed areas such as:

  • Uttara Model Town

  • Purbachal New Town

  • Bashundhara R/A

  • Dhanmondi

  • Mohammadpur

  • Rampura

  • Banasree

  • Tejgaon

  • Mirpur

  • Gulshan

  • Banani

  • Mohakhali





  1. Key Purpose of ECPS for Client


Faster Approvals

Digital submissions reduce paperwork and queue times, making the process more predictable.


Transparency & Tracking

Applicants can track every stage of their file—from submission to approval—via dashboard updates.


No Middlemen Required

The system reduces the need for unofficial intermediaries or repeated physical visits to RAJUK.


Secure & Centralized

All documents, drawings, and approvals are stored digitally for future reference.
