Besides providing permits, the authority also regularly inspects, consults, and provides technical assistance on construction to ensure the safety and efficiency.

Before building or renovating any houses, all residents must apply for the permit at the service centre of the APSARA Authority, or at any one-stop-service centre where the house is located, including the Siem Reap city, Mondul 3, Angkor Thom, Banteay Srei, and Puok districts.

When approved, the APSARA Authority will provide the building permit along with a free technical architectural plan and consultancy service, to ensure the construction does not affect the heritage site.
