Building
Schedule of Rates downloads, the official building-control rulebook, and the authorities that govern construction in Andhra Pradesh.
AP State Schedule of Rates (SSR)
Andhra Pradesh, unlike Tamil Nadu's single consolidated PWD document, splits construction rates across three departments: R&B (buildings and roads), WRD (water works), and Panchayat Raj Engineering (rural works). This page links to the Roads & Buildings Department's portal specifically, since that's the department relevant to general building construction.
CPWD Schedule of Rates
Central Public Works Department Plinth Area Rates — set nationally, not specific to Andhra Pradesh. Lives on its own page and is linked from every state's Building page instead of being repeated on each one.
Building Control Rules — Official Document
The rulebook is AP Building Rules, 2017 (G.O.Ms.No.119, dated 28-03-2017), hosted as a PDF on CRDA's site. The exact file path wasn't independently confirmed this session — the link below goes to the CRDA homepage; navigate to Building Rules / G.O.s from there. This is the base 2017 rulebook only — several amendment G.O.s (401, 223, 180, 273) exist as separate documents, not consolidated into one PDF the way Tamil Nadu's TNCDBR 2019 is.
Authority Websites
CRDA issues planning permission — and, uniquely to Amaravati, also runs land-pooling and plot-registration services, since the capital city was built from farmer-contributed pooled land rather than acquired outright. DTCP covers planning permission for the rest of the state. RERA handles statewide project registration.
Extra for Andhra Pradesh
APDPMS is a genuinely more consolidated system than Tamil Nadu's split model: Tamil Nadu separates planning permission (CMDA/DTCP) from the actual building permit (Greater Chennai Corporation) as two separate metro-only steps. APDPMS instead covers Building, Layout, Subdivision, and Amalgamation permissions across all ULBs/UDAs statewide, in one unified digital gateway.
