This generates several problems related to the atmosphere. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is now a very vital study before communing of any project idea or expansion in our country. The EIA study is necessary to arrange a detailed account of environmental effect of the planned activity so that suitable intervention could be taken. An effort has been made in this paper to know about environmental effect of building civil plan using checklist investigation method. The study in direction of range of parameters such as parking area, rain water harvesting, basement area, total area, sewage treatment plant in depth of ground water, solid waste, water quality, have distance from the city centre, possible nearby sensitive zones. The plan needs to describe the project in a holistic way and propose possible mitigation measures for development.
