What Does Trakhees Require for a Lift Approval?

Trakhees Villa Lift Approval at a Glance
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Designs the slab openings, pit and shaft structure and prepares stamped drawings and calculations. |
| 2 | Nakheel (master developer) | Issues the community NOC against its design guidelines. |
| 3 | Building authority — Trakhees | 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
- Lift manufacturer drawings and specifications
- Proposed drawings and stamped structural calculations — prepared by us
Key Technical Rules
- Slab openings designed: cutting slabs for the shaft needs an engineered design.
- Pit and shaft structure: the pit, shaft walls and supports are designed for the lift loads.
- Fire-rated shaft where required: the shaft rating follows the authority requirements.
- Approved lift contractor: installation by an approved lift company.
- Inspection before use: the lift is inspected and certified before operation.

Trakhees Villa Lift Approval — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my villa is under Trakhees jurisdiction?

Do I need a Nakheel NOC before Trakhees approval?
Yes, in most Nakheel communities the developer NOC is required before Trakhees will process the government approval.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your plot or unit details, title deed or affection plan, any existing drawings and a short description of the works — we confirm the approvals needed and prepare the submission.
Does Trakhees require a final inspection?
