Sindh to Expedite Building Approval Process
The Sindh government has announced plans to speed up the building approval process by setting up a one-window operation at ABAD House. This initiative aims to ease challenges faced by builders and developers, facilitating smoother project approvals.
One-Window Operation for Construction Sector
At the inauguration of the three-day ABAD In-House Exhibition of construction products, Sindh’s Local Government Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah highlighted the establishment of this centralized office. The facility will serve as a single point of contact to handle all necessary approvals, aiming to boost business activities in the construction industry.
Digitization and Infrastructure Development
The minister also revealed that the provincial government is working toward digitizing the approval process alongside the one-window system. Collaboration is underway between the Sindh Building Control Authority’s director general and government teams to prioritize resolving issues affecting construction projects.
Development activities are currently in progress on over 150 small and major roads throughout Sindh, underlining the government’s commitment to infrastructure enhancement.
Supporting Investment Growth in Sindh
Minister Nasir Hussain Shah emphasized the government’s resolve to create a favorable environment for both local and foreign investors, particularly in construction. He pointed out the importance of providing the business community maximum facilitation to encourage capital circulation within Pakistan rather than abroad.
Efforts are also being made to address financial governance through improvements in the Provincial Finance Commission and National Finance Commission, which are critical to sustaining investment-friendly policies.
This move to fast-track building approvals reflects a broader push to stimulate economic growth and infrastructure development in Sindh, which holds significant implications for Pakistan’s construction sector and overall business climate.
