Permit Without Consultant? We’ll Get DM/DDA Approval
Introduction
Permit Without Consultant: In Dubai, getting a permit for structural or architectural works often means dealing with licensed consultants, long timelines, and expensive contracts.
But what if you already have a license — as a contractor, architect, or design firm — and just need help with the technical side of the submission?
At Structural Solutions, we offer a smarter alternative.
We provide:
- Full structural calculations
- Authority-compliant drawing preparation
- And submission support — all done under your company’s trade license
This means you stay in control of the project while we do the heavy lifting behind the scenes — no need to hire an external consultancy or pay markup fees.
Whether you need approval from Dubai Municipality (DM), Dubai Development Authority (DDA), or Trakhees, we’ll help you get it — quickly, accurately, and under your name.

Who This Service Is For
Our “You Submit – We Support” model is designed for:
- 🏗️ Contracting companies who have the authority to submit but lack in-house engineers
- 🏢 Fit-out and interior firms modifying layouts or walls
- 🧱 Architects and designers needing help with structure or code compliance
- 🛠️ MEP firms needing stamped slab or equipment load checks
- 🏘️ Villa or apartment project managers with limited technical staff
If you have the trade license, we’ll prepare everything you need to submit directly on the official portal — DM, DDA, or Trakhees.
Why Avoid Hiring a Full Consultant?
Traditional consultants often:
- Delay submissions due to internal workflows
- Refuse small jobs like pergolas or partition walls
- Charge minimum fees for every scope — even minor
- Insist on full architectural + structural packages (when you only need structural)
Our model offers you:
✅ No consultant dependency
✅ No markups
✅ No delays
✅ Full technical backing, reports, and stamped calculations
We empower your team to submit confidently — with the same quality as a licensed consultant, but under your own name.
