You should close your building permit as soon as construction is complete. An open permit that lingers unclosed can complicate future permits, sales, or refinancing on the property.
How to Close an Open Building Permit in Dubai
Closing an open building permit means completing your authority's final inspection and sign-off process once construction is finished. Structural Solutions prepares the documentation your authority requires and manages your submission from start to finish.

What Does It Mean to 'Close' a Building Permit?
An open building permit remains active in the authority's system until the project passes final inspection and receives sign-off or a completion certificate. Closing it typically requires submitting as-built drawings, passing a final structural and safety inspection, and clearing any outstanding fees or conditions from the original permit.
