Any wall removal work needs a building permit before construction starts. Structural calculations and drawings must be prepared by a UAE-licensed engineer and submitted in your authority's required format. Starting work without approval risks a stop-work order and fines.

Wall Removal Building Permit Dubai at a Glance
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Confirms whether the wall is load-bearing and designs the beam or lintel with stamped calculations. |
| 2 | Master developer (where the community has one) | Issues the community NOC against its design guidelines. |
| 3 | Building authority — Dubai Municipality, DDA or Trakhees — depending on the community | Building permit; work starts only after it is issued. |
| 4 | Developer and authority | Completion inspection and sign-off. |
Documents Required
- Title deed (or tenancy contract plus landlord NOC for tenants)
- Owner passport and Emirates ID copy
- Affection plan / site plan
- Existing approved drawings — or an as-built survey if you have none
- Photos of the wall and the rooms on both sides
- Proposed drawings and stamped structural calculations — prepared by us
Key Technical Rules
- Load-bearing check: every wall is assessed before removal — never assumed.
- New beam or lintel: a load-bearing wall needs a designed beam with stamped calculations.
- Temporary propping: the structure above is supported while the wall is removed.
- Partitions still need a NOC: non-structural walls can still require the community NOC.
- Inspection after works: the opening is checked against the approved drawings.
