The Egyptian government has taken strict measures against those who started construction without a building permit, but also against those who do not have a land permit. Strict measures have been set and many developers who illegally build additional facilities, additional floors, or garages have been punished. This is good news that everything is in line with the law and construction laws of this country. New state measures are also announced that new building permits will be much more difficult to issue and that additional conditions will be set for developers when it comes to building construction. Namely, new legal regulations will be adopted soon, and it will mean that every new building will have to have a garage belonging to each apartment. Such legal regulations will certainly mean safer construction, but also higher apartment prices.
