Building & Construction License

Step 1: Understanding the Building and Construction Regulations in Thailand

Before starting any construction project, it is crucial to understand the regulatory framework established by the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning and local municipalities.
Here’s what you need to know:

• Types of Construction Projects Requiring a License: Any new construction, renovation, extension, or demolition work will typically require a building permit or license. This includes residential buildings, commercial properties, factories, warehouses, and infrastructure projects.

• Compliance with Building Codes: Your project must adhere to the National Building Code of Thailand, which covers structural safety, fire safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, and environmental impact.
  SiamConsult will help you ensure that your project meets all these requirements.

• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): For certain large-scale projects, you may need to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
  This is mandatory for projects like high-rise buildings, industrial plants, and developments near environmentally sensitive areas.

Step 2: Preparing Your Documents and Building Plans

Once you understand the regulations, the next step is to prepare all the necessary documents and building plans required for the Building and Construction License application.
Here’s what you need:

• Building Plans: Detailed architectural drawings and structural plans, including floor layouts, elevations, cross-sections, and site plans.
  These must be prepared and stamped by a licensed architect and engineer.

• Project Description: A comprehensive description of your project, including its purpose, size, location, and the type of construction materials to be used.

• Ownership Documents: Proof of ownership or lease agreement for the land where the construction will take place.
  You may also need to provide a land title deed or a certified copy.

• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report: If applicable, you will need an EIA report that has been prepared by a certified environmental consultant and approved by the relevant authority.

• Engineering Calculations and Reports: Structural calculations, soil tests, and other technical reports that demonstrate the safety and stability of the construction.

• Fire Safety and Building Access Plans: Plans showing compliance with fire safety regulations, including fire exits, sprinkler systems, and accessibility for people with disabilities.

SiamConsult will assist you in gathering and preparing all these documents, ensuring they are complete and correctly formatted for submission.

Step 3: Submitting Your Application for a Building and Construction License

After preparing all the necessary documentation, the next step is to submit your application to the local authority, such as the District Office or City Hall. Here’s how we help:
