Building in Gulberg: what to plan for
- Large plots of 1 to 4 Kanal allow generous rebuilds with basements, lawns and staff quarters.
- Building plans generally go to LDA; confirm the current bylaws and any commercial-use rules for your plot. Drawings need a PCATP architect and a PEC structural engineer.
- Central traffic makes daytime deliveries slow – night or early-morning drops are common.
- Commercial projects may need approvals for change of use, signage and parking.
- Demolishing large old bungalows produces heavy debris; plan disposal and salvage in advance.
