Doha: Director of Building Permits Department at the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME), Engineer Khaled Al Marzouki, said that the Building Requirements Guide will stimulate the real estate investment and shorten the procedures.
“The building permit transactions have become easier, which has contributed to stimulating investments and facilitated remote work, especially during this period,” he said.
The Ministry's Building Permits Complex has worked through the electronic building permits system to simplify the procedures and reduce time, effort and cost required to obtain a building permit, complete building maintenance, demolition, increase electrical overloads by restructuring its procedures in the places where they are submitted and make them available electronically.
Speaking to a local channel about the electronic building permits system, Engineer Al Marzouki said that: “The electronic building permits system was launched in 2014. It is an electronic window that allows engineering consulting offices operating in the country to submit applications for building licenses and conduct all transactions through a single window."
He said the new system replaced the old one, which required the presence of people for building permit transactions.
The new system provides a single-window for obtaining building licences.
Minister of Municipality and Environment, H E Eng. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Subaie, recently has called for developing and speeding up the building permit procedures, educating consultants and owners, and coordinating with the service agencies concerned in the State.
With the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of the recent improvements to the electronic building permit system, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment (MME) has launched the first edition of the “Building Requirements Guide in the State of Qatar”.
It is one of the most important strategic projects implemented by the Ministry within its strategic plan, Qatar National Vision 2030, and the Digital Government 2020 strategy.
