How to get building permit in the Philippines? Im sharing you here the requirements, fees, and
application procedure for the issuance of building permit in the country.

Whydo you need a building permit?

It is simply in compliance with the proper construction of a house or a building following the
requirements set by law or theNational Building Code. Of course you want to make sure all the
proper technical, mechanical, electrical, and structural plans for the construction of the building are
met.

In addition, if you build a house or a building without a permit from your municipality, construction
will be stopped until a permit has been issued or released. Youll receive a strict notice to apply for
a permit.
