Your Building Journey
A step-by-step guide to help you understand the process of building in Mongolia — from land inspection to completion.
Step by Step
7 Steps to Build Right
Land Inspection
Inspect the land designated for your residential building to assess its suitability.
- Verify land ownership and zoning regulations
- Check cadastral survey maps
- Assess site conditions, terrain, and utilities access
Planning Permit
Obtain the architectural planning permit from the relevant authorities.
- Determine building purpose (residential, commercial, office, etc.)
- Establish size, capacity, and special requirements
- Submit official documentation to planning department
Technical Conditions
Gather all required technical specifications and engineering data.
- Electricity supply specifications
- Clean water and sewage capacity
- Heating, ventilation, and internet infrastructure
Design & Drawings
Commission professional architectural and engineering design work.
- Architecture, structural, MEP design by licensed professionals
- Follow building standards and fire safety codes
- Coordinate special requirements (accessibility, sustainability)
Construction Approval
Get construction approval and permits before breaking ground.
- Buildings up to 9m height and 600m² floor area
- Single-family homes may need simplified approval
- Some projects require full state inspection review
Construction Phase
Execute construction with proper oversight and quality management.
- Geodetic and geological surveys completed
- Professional supervision throughout construction
- Compliance with approved drawings and standards
Completion & Docs
Finalize construction and obtain all required completion documents.
- As-built drawings and inspection reports
- Hidden works documentation
- Material certificates and commissioning approval

Land Documents
Cadastral Map Guide
Understanding your land survey document
What is a cadastral map?
An official document showing your land boundaries, dimensions, and position — certified by the land authority.
Why do you need it?
To verify land ownership, plan construction, and submit for building permits.
What it contains
Plot number, area (m²), boundary coordinates, neighboring plots, roads, and existing structures.
Who issues it?
The local geodesy office or licensed surveying company.
Watch Out
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Skipping land surveys and soil analysis before design
Starting construction without full approved drawings
Not verifying land ownership documents
Ignoring fire safety and building code requirements
Using unlicensed architects or construction companies
Not budgeting for contingencies (10-15% recommended)
