How do I get a completion certificate from Trakhees?
After the works, Trakhees inspects them and issues the completion certificate, with the developer inspection, as-built drawings and an owner letter.
The short answer
In Trakhees areas, such as Nakheel communities, Jumeirah Golf Estates and JAFZA, the completion certificate is issued by Trakhees after the final inspection. The developer, such as Nakheel or wasl, also inspects, and the order can vary. You need as-built drawings that match the works and an owner letter. Structural Solutions books the inspections, answers any comments and obtains the certificate.
What you need to know
- Final inspection: Trakhees checks the works against the approval.
