Can construction process, such as excavation be started before GRIHA registration?

Yes, the construction process can start before the registration. However, the project team must ensure compliance with applicable GRIHA criteria (top soil and existing trees preservation, labour safety and sanitation etc.). It’s suggested to get the project registered as soon as possible so that the orientation workshop can be conducted for the entire project team. This workshop is a crucial step in understanding compliances and requirements to be followed.
