DM wants confidence that a contractor change during a dispute isn't creating a liability gap for incomplete or defective work — clear documentation of what's been done, inspected, and approved protects both parties going forward.
Contractor Dispute Building Permit Dubai
A contractor dispute complicates a contractor change in a specific way — DM needs to see the change isn't simply an attempt to sidestep an active disagreement, particularly around liability for completed works.

Contractor Change During an Active Dispute
When a contractor change follows a dispute rather than a mutual agreement, DM typically requires more thorough documentation — clear evidence of the termination basis and, where relevant, confirmation the dispute doesn't affect the validity of work already inspected and approved.

Contractor Dispute — FAQs
Do I need the dispute fully resolved before changing contractors?
No — a contractor change can proceed during an active dispute, though DM will want clear documentation of the situation.
What evidence supports a dispute-driven change?
Termination notices, correspondence, payment records, and an independent assessment of works completed all help.
Does the dispute affect the validity of work already approved?
Generally no — work that was properly inspected and signed off remains valid regardless of the dispute's outcome.
Can Structural Solutions provide an independent assessment?
Yes — we can assess and document the status of completed works objectively, supporting your DM application.
How long does a dispute-driven change typically take?
Usually longer than a cooperative change — 3-6 weeks depending on documentation complexity.
