Sectors we cover in Uttara
Each part of Uttara has its own plot sizes, road widths and ground conditions. Add your sector in the quote form and we match teams who work there.
Sectors 1 to 7
The oldest sectors, beside the airport. Many 2 and 3 storey houses being rebuilt as apartments; check height clearance first.
Sectors 9 to 14
Established residential sectors with 3 and 5 katha plots and G+5 to G+6 family buildings.
Sectors 15 and 16
Newer sectors on filled land near the metro. Soil tests and pile foundations are common.
Sectors 17 and 18
The newest part of Uttara, with large RAJUK apartment projects and many new flat handovers.
Diabari
Western edge around the metro depot, with fast new construction and rising land values.
Sonargaon Janapath
The main commercial spine, with shops, showrooms and offices on the lower floors.
Azampur
Busy area beside the highway, with mixed use buildings and apartment interiors.
Uttara Model Town
The planned residential core, with lakes, parks and the quieter family roads.
What people build in Uttara
Most Uttara projects are family buildings that earn rent, rebuilt older homes, and interiors for new flats.
Older 2 and 3 storey houses in the first sectors are being replaced. Check the airport height limit and the road width before deciding how many floors to plan.
Building yourself keeps every flat but needs money and time. A developer (land share) deal needs no cash but you give up flats; get the share ratio, handover date and penalty for delay in a registered agreement.

Architect in Uttara: common questions
Do I need civil aviation clearance to build in Uttara?
Often, yes. Uttara is beside Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, and buildings near the flight path need height clearance from the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh. It can limit how many floors you build, so the architect should check it before the design is fixed.
How many floors can I build on a 3 or 5 katha plot in Uttara?
Most 3 and 5 katha plots in Uttara are built as G+5 or G+6, with parking on the ground floor. The exact number depends on road width, FAR under the Imarat Nirman Bidhimala 2008, DAP 2022 to 2035 and any airport height limit.
My Uttara plot is a RAJUK lease plot. What papers do I need?
Keep the RAJUK allotment letter, the registered lease deed, RAJUK transfer or mutation papers if the plot changed hands, the khatian, land tax receipts and your NID. The approval file and any later sale both depend on them.
Should I build myself or sign with a developer in Uttara?
Building yourself keeps every flat and gives full control but needs money and time. A developer deal needs no cash from you, but you share the flats. If you choose a developer, register the agreement with the share ratio, handover date, specifications and a penalty for delay.
Do buildings in Uttara Sectors 15 to 18 need pile foundations?
Often, because much of the newer western sectors stands on filled low land. Only a soil test can decide the foundation, so order it before the design is drawn.
How much does a G+5 building on 5 katha cost in Uttara?
At 60% coverage a 5 katha plot gives about 12,960 sq ft over six floors. At ৳1,800 to ৳2,500 per sq ft that is roughly ৳2.3 crore to ৳3.2 crore in 2026, before land, design fees, approval, piles and interiors.
