The Karnataka Government is contemplating to introduce a single window clearance system for the construction of houses and complexes in the state, taking into consideration the demand raised by the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (CREDAI).
Announcing this at the inauguration of Credai Karnataka Statecon 2012, Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar said the state government will introduce an Infrastructure Bill that will resolve all the issues related to the construction sector.
“The government will consider the demands of the builders. Processes related to granting various permissions for construction of buildings including registration, stamp duty and other procedures will be simplified. More restrictions will lead to more violation. Hence, will hold a discussion with all stakeholders and find solutions,” he said.
The sessions held as part of the conference laid emphasis on affordable housing to help the government provide housing for poor. MG Somashekar, Managing Director, PG Setty Construction Technology, said monolithic construction is a cost-effective formula that will reduce construction cost considerably.
“Government and private developers can provide house to all poor in the state using the monolithic construction method, which is moulding portions of the house monolithically at one time using a particular homogenous construction material. It is similar to industrial production that will not compromise quality. Construction of a house can be completed in four hours after the erection of moulds,” he explained.
