Option A: demolition at the mobilization permit stage
Demolition at mobilization permit stage means you first get the preliminary design approval for the new villa, then the old villa is demolished as part of site mobilization, and construction follows in one continuous project.
The short answer
This route suits owners whose new design is ready. The preliminary design approval confirms the new villa can be built; the mobilization stage then covers preparing the site, including demolition, before construction starts. There is no separate gap between demolition and building.
