PlanBD: Dhaka FAR & DAP Regulations

About PlanBD: Dhaka FAR & DAP Regulations

Overview: PlanBD is a free planning platform that helps architects, engineers, developers, students, and landowners quickly understand what can be built in Dhaka under the latest RAJUK DAP regulations. It brings FAR calculations, regulations, maps, reports, and planning resources into one place. Problem: Finding the correct FAR, applicable regulations, incentives, and planning requirements often means searching through multiple PDFs, gazettes, and maps. The process is slow and can lead to mistakes or inconsistent interpretations. Solution: PlanBD provides a single platform with a FAR Calculator, interactive map, regulation explorer, development analysis, RAJUK approval checklist, and detailed reports with regulatory references. Every result is backed by the rules used to generate it. How It Works: Users enter project details such as plot area, road width, building category, and density block. PlanBD applies the relevant regulations and generates FAR calculations, development potential, compliance information, and downloadable reports. Target Audience: Architects, civil engineers, developers, consultants, landowners, students, and anyone working with planning and development in Dhaka. Traction: The platform is currently free to use and is being refined with community feedback to improve calculation accuracy, regulation coverage, and overall usability.
