The Build on You Own Property program (BYOP) is an initiative whereby Caymanians who own a piece of property can build pre-approved NHDT homes on their property at an affordable price. All homes are built by NHDT pre-approved and procured contractors who are also committed to the NHDT’s vision of seeing Caymanians realize their home ownership goals.
If you are preparing to build on your property in the Cayman Islands with NHDT, there are a few steps you should take:
⦁ Obtain planning permission: Before beginning construction, you must obtain planning permission from the Cayman Islands Planning Department. This involves submitting plans and specifications for your project and paying a fee.
⦁ Obtain a building permit: Once you have obtained planning permission, you must obtain a building permit from the Cayman Islands Building Control Unit. This involves submitting additional plans and specifications and paying a fee.
⦁ Monitor construction: As construction begins, monitoring progress and ensuring the work is done according to plan is vital. This involves regular site visits and communication with your contractor.
⦁ Obtain final approvals: Once construction is complete, you must obtain final approvals from the Cayman Islands Planning Department and Building Control Unit. This involves a final inspection and paying any outstanding fees.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your construction project in the Cayman Islands through NHDT is completed smoothly and complies with local regulations.
