The BBMP has prepared a draft ‘BBMP Building Byelaws – 2020’ upgrading its earlier by-laws published during 2003. The Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (I), (ACCE) Bangalore Centre has discussed the draft bye-laws on different platforms and formulated a set of citizen friendly modifications to the draft bye-laws 2020. Several interactions were held with BBMP Town Planning officials also. BBMP has shown keen interest in receiving comments and suggestions from the civil engineering community to make the building bye-laws more workable, acceptable, versatile and sustainable for society to reap the benefits.
The ACCE recently conducted a ‘Study Circle Meet’ at Bangalore. It has periodically conducted such meets to discuss, debate, understand and arrive at viable solutions for varied civil engineering, civilian issues, problems faced by the consultants while obtaining building permits and problems to be tackled by the citizens during and after constructions.
