Business Bay Contractor Change DDA at a Glance
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Prepares the drawings and calculations to the authority's format and handles the submissions. |
| 2 | Master developer (where the community has one) | Issues the community NOC against its design guidelines. |
| 3 | Building authority — DDA | Building permit; work starts only after it is issued. |
| 4 | Developer and authority | Completion inspection and sign-off. |
Documents Required
- Title deed (or tenancy contract plus landlord NOC for tenants)
- Owner passport and Emirates ID copy
- Affection plan / site plan
- Existing approved drawings — or an as-built survey if you have none
- Proposed drawings and stamped structural calculations — prepared by us
Key Technical Rules
- One authority per area: each community has one building authority — DM, DDA or Trakhees.
- NOC before permit: in master-developer communities the developer NOC comes first.
- Authority format: drawings must follow that authority's submission format.
- Registered consultant: submissions are made by an authority-registered consultant.
- Completion certificate: issued after the final inspection.
