Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Saturday, February 22 launched the BuildNow initiative to fast-track building permits in Telangana.
The app will use an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered Unified Single Window System for providing approvals. This AI-driven technology aims to accelerate the scrutiny process for building approvals, ensuring a seamless and transparent system under a unified interface for Telangana.
The new AI-based mechanism is designed to enhance efficiency, making the approval process swift and more transparent.
A hands-on training programme on BuildNow DCR was conducted for licensed architects and engineers at the GHMC headquarters.
