The municipal engineering department is responsible for promoting the planning, development and building activities in Modi'in. Its activities include involvement in projects at the national, provincial and municipal level. Planning policy is set in statutory city building plans, which constitute the basis for issuing building permits.

The engineering department is responsible for approving residential, industrial and commercial plans, as well as permissions for the planning of roads, sidewalks, green spaces, public-private areas ('shatzapim') and private-private areas ('shapapim').

In addition, the department is responsible for issuing building permits and the supervision of construction in the city.

The engineering division consists of five departments: the department of city and property building, the building permit department, the construction supervision department, the traffic department and the landscaping department.

The engineering division guides and works closely with the Ministry of Construction and Housing, which is currently responsible for city planning and carrying out infrastructure work, and with the Chevra HaCalcalit as the executive arm of the Iriyah, as well as many other government offices and organizations.
