Egypt: prior architectural approval required for industrial building permits

Egypt's Industrial Development Authority announces a procedure effective November 1, 2026 for projects still subject to decennial insurance. Architectural drawings must receive the authority's approval before the insurance pool reviews structural designs.

Affected applications must include stamped drawings and an official letter confirming approval. The authority says it aims to prevent duplicate reviews and accelerate building permits.

Files received before November 1 are to remain under the previous rules. Faster processing is the stated objective; no measured result has yet been provided.
