Any maid room 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.

Maid Room Building Permit Dubai at a Glance
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Checks setbacks and coverage, designs the extension and prepares stamped drawings and 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
- Proposed drawings and stamped structural calculations — prepared by us
Key Technical Rules
- Setbacks and coverage: the extension must respect the plot setbacks and coverage limits in the community guidelines.
- Counts as GFA: added floor area is reviewed as additional GFA by the developer and the authority.
- Existing structure checked: foundations, columns and slabs are checked for the new loads.
- Matching design: external finishes and rooflines must match the original villa.
- Completion inspection: required before the extension is used, sold or handed over.
