As per the details, the main purpose of the survey is to streamline the building department since most of the multi-storey buildings in the city were constructed without having their building plans approved by the civic body.
According to a senior RMC official, the survey will be started soon, which can take up to three to four months to complete. Once the survey is completed, fines will be imposed on builders/owners who constructed commercial and domestic buildings without seeking prior approvals.
