Can I Add a Floor to My Villa in Al Barsha?
Often yes, if the floors and height allowed for the plot permit it and the existing structure can carry it. We check the columns, walls and foundations first, then design and submit the new floor.

What Dubai Municipality Looks At Here
- Floors and height: the number of floors and the height allowed depend on the plot and the area
- Structure checked: our engineers check the existing walls, slabs and foundations and stamp the calculations
- Building permit: structural works, extensions and new floors need a Dubai Municipality building permit before work starts
What to Send Us
- Title deed and affection plan
- Owner ID
- Photos of the villa and the area to change
- Existing approved drawings (we survey the villa if you have none)
- Your idea: a sketch is enough to start
