| 4 | Emaar and Dubai Municipality | Inspections and completion. |
What Emaar and Dubai Municipality Look At Here
- Emaar design approval: a new villa or a rebuild needs Emaar approval of the design before the Dubai Municipality permit
- Community rules: Emaar checks floor area, distance from boundaries, height and the look of the villa against its rules for your plot
- Dubai Municipality permit: structural works need a Dubai Municipality building permit after the Emaar NOC
- Structure checked: our engineers check the existing walls, slabs and foundations and stamp the calculations
What to Send Us
- Title deed and owner ID
- Photos of the villa and the area to change
- Villa plans (Emaar can provide these)
- Your idea: a sketch is enough to start
