The main and annex buildings, which are spread over 173 ropani land, will be built in Putali Bagincha provided by Nepali Army. The building will be disabled friendly, and will house the House of Representatives, National Assembly, VVIP lounges, Parliamentary committees, office of parliamentary parties, Parliament Secretariat, canteens and parking lots. The government has set a target of three years to complete the construction of the building.

Department of Urban Development and Building Construction, which is tasked with the construction work, said the earthquake-resistant building would be constructed in a manner to reflect typical Nepali architecture and would not exceed five storeys. The Parliament building premises will also have a garden, water fountain, open space and disaster response facilities.
