Today, I'm diving into the world of building permits and the often misunderstood approval process. Many think you can simply start building once you have land, but it's far more complex. In this episode, I'll take you through the bureaucratic maze of building permits in three countries: Tanzania, the UK, and the USA. Each country has its own rules and requirements: Tanzania: Requires detailed architectural and structural plans, plus an Environmental Impact Assessment. UK: Involves Planning Permission for design approval and Building Regulations Approval for safety and standards. USA: Includes Pre Application, Planning Approval, and Building Permit Application stages, covering zoning, plans, and strict Building Codes. Join me as I compare these processes, discuss their complexities, and explore why building in a developing country might be simpler than in more developed nations.
