We review the planned changes, confirm which need a DDA permit, and prepare the drawings for both the developer NOC and DDA. Many homes in Serena are townhouses that share walls with neighbours, so works near party walls need careful structural design and clear drawings.

Serena Villa Modification NOC at a Glance
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Reviews the villa, prepares the drawings and stamped structural calculations for the change. |
| 2 | Dubai Properties (master developer) | Issues the community NOC against its design guidelines. |
| 3 | Building authority — DDA | 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
- Structural check first: any change to walls, slabs or openings is checked by an engineer before design.
- Community guidelines: the master developer's design rules govern facades, colours, heights and materials.
- Added area counts as GFA: any increase in built-up area is reviewed as additional GFA.
- Approvals before work: work starts only after the NOC and the building permit are issued.
- Sign-off at the end: completion drawings and an inspection close the file.
