Have you received a Villa Status Report (VSR) from Nakheel that lists violations on your property?
Introduction
Whether it’s an unapproved pergola, a room extension, a raised boundary wall, or a roof shade, NAKHEEL VSR shows violations for each of these unauthorized modifications., we understand the stress this can cause — especially if you’re planning to sell, lease, or apply for new works.
At Structural Solutions, we offer freelance structural engineering services to help you fix this.
We provide everything needed to obtain a Retrospective NOC (No Objection Certificate) from Nakheel — without forcing you to hire a full architectural consultant. We focus on as-built drawings, structural calculations, and submission support under your or your contractor’s license.

What Is a VSR and Why It Matters
A Villa Status Report (VSR) is issued by Nakheel during:
- Sale or lease NOC requests
- New modification applications
- Periodic inspections in their communities
It outlines:
- Your villa’s current modification status
- Whether the modifications are approved or in violation
- Requirements to restore or regularize the works
Ignoring the violations may lead to:
- NOC rejections
- Fines or penalties
- Delayed handovers or transactions
- Legal complications
Common Violations We Can Help You Fix
| Violation | Examples |
| Pergolas & shades | Installed without Nakheel approval |
| Garden rooms or extensions | Masonry or aluminum structures in rear yard |
| Raised boundary walls | Walls exceeding 2.1 m, or altered materials |
| Façade changes | Window/door modifications without submission |
| Rooftop or balcony enclosures | Covered terraces or staircases added post-construction |
| Additional doors or partitions | Unapproved changes to access or layout |
Most of these are fixable — without demolition — if supported by professional documentation.

How Freelance Engineering Helps You
✅ You don’t need a full consultant
Nakheel only requires qualified engineering documents. We prepare those under our freelance service model — no need to appoint a costly AOR unless architectural elements are involved.
✅ Save time & cost
Get quick turnarounds on drawings and structural reports — typically in 2 to 4 working days.
✅ Work under your contractor’s license
If you or your contractor is handling the submission, we provide all technical files ready for upload.
✅ We coordinate with consultants only when necessary
If an architectural consultant is required (e.g. façade or layout changes), we can connect you with our licensed partner (Nirvana AEC), but only when absolutely needed.
