That is the main reason why environmentalists have welcomed this move. But real estate developers are saying that following the new rules should not pose any technical challenge but will increase the cost of construction. Who will make them understand they only think about the different sources to earn money.

Nobody can make them understand. Construction cost depends on the project size. I personally believe that the cost would go up by up to 0.5%. It does not mean that i pass on the cost to the customer.

Large scale projects follow these rules but it is only small and mid-range builders who may try to skirt the norms.

Yes, and 20-25% of all construction in the city comes under small and medium. It is more about a change of mind-set than a logistical or a technical challenge.If you are not ready to obey the rules and giving excuse for the ideas.

Yes, the Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016, notified by the Union environment ministry , makes it mandatory for large builders to submit waste management plans along with building designs without which local authorities can refuse building permission.

Hi Amit,
The Centre has come out with new rules to handle construction and demolition waste as the tall building in the city is a trial of bulky and solid construction debris with no responsibility for its management or disposal until now.

It is true Nikhil. Because building debris disposal rules says that keep apart of construction debris into steel, concrete and iron and depositing at a collection centre, a ban on dumping them in the open or on the road, and the mandatory use of water sprinklers to repress dust.
