Roof parapets and anchors must take the gondola loads — we check them before the equipment is installed.

Documents to Prepare
- Owners association or building management NOC
- Building elevations and the proposed colour scheme
- Contractor documents
- Access method: scaffolding, gondola or rope access details
- RTA approval when equipment is on the road
Key Rules
- Match the approved scheme: facade colours follow the building’s approved scheme.
- Access equipment approved: scaffolding, gondola and rope access need DM, DDA or Trakhees approval, plus RTA on the road.
- Check what you fix to: cladding, parapets and anchor points are checked before access equipment is used.
- Approval before work: works start only after the NOC and permit.

Why Owners Use Structural Solutions
Right Colour, First Time
We get the developer’s colour code and prepare the request so the colour matches what is approved.
Developer and Authority
We handle the developer NOC and the DM, DDA or Trakhees permit together.
Access and Structure
For buildings we coordinate scaffolding, gondola and RTA approvals and check cladding, parapets and fixings.

Gondola & Cradle Permit for Building Painting Dubai — FAQs
Does a gondola need approval?
Yes — from DM, DDA or Trakhees, plus RTA on the road.
Do I need a NOC to paint the outside of my villa?
Yes in master-developer communities — the developer NOC, then the permit from DM, DDA or Trakhees.
Do I have to keep the same colour?
Developers usually ask you to match the existing colour and provide the colour code.
Do I need approval to paint inside my villa?
No — interior painting of a villa does not need a NOC (Wasl properties have their own painting NOC).
Do scaffolding or gondolas need approval?
Yes — from DM, DDA or Trakhees, plus RTA when they are on the road.
