In general, you have to know about the land use index, buildable areas, and control areas before knowing how tall or large the project you want to establish can be. Buildable areas within Cambodia are simply zones where it's possible to construct a building.
The law on construction is divided into 22 chapters with 111 Articles. This law determines the principles, building technical regulations, rules and procedures to control the construction sector in Cambodia. The Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) remains the competent authority.
It depends on how big your house is. If it's just a small one, you may need, like someone mentioned, 5,000$. If it's a kind of flats (2–3 floors), you will need 30,000–40,000$. And if you want a big house, or a kind of villas, you will need 5 or 6 times more expensive than building your flat.

The Judiciary of Cambodia is independent from the rest of the government of Cambodia, as specified by the Cambodian Constitution. The judiciary follows civil law tradition, the instruction being entrusted to a judge and the prosecutors contenting themselves with requesting the application of the law.
The Cambodian legal system is based largely on the French civil system, and is statute based. The Constitution is the Supreme Law. The legal system has evolved from unwritten customary law, prevalent during Angkorian times, to statutory law, under the French colonisation from 1863 to 1953 and up until 1975.
In Cambodia, a draft or proposed law must be introduced in the National Assembly. The draft or proposed law must be passed through both the National Assembly and the Senate.
The National Assembly and the Senate share legislative power, that is, they make the laws. Senators, members of the National Assembly and the prime minister can initiate legislation. The legislative process usually takes a few months to complete. In emergencies, laws can be approved within days.
The Cambodian legal system is a statutory law system, which means it is mostly based on written law passed by the legislature. Sources of law in Cambodia can be classified into primary sources and secondary sources. Primary sources include the formal laws issued by State authorities.
