Any new construction, extension, or structural modification in Business Bay needs a building permit before work starts. Structural drawings and calculations must be prepared by a UAE-licensed engineer and submitted in the correct authority format. Building without approval risks a stop-work order and fines.

| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|

| 2 | Master developer (where the community has one) | Issues the community NOC against its design guidelines. |
| 3 | Building authority — DDA | Building permit; work starts only after it is issued. |
