That the converted drawing matches the plot limit and what is built on site, and we flag differences before submission.
Convert Drawings to DLTM Coordinates
Existing AutoCAD drawings drawn on a local grid can be moved into DLTM coordinates — but only accurately when tied to surveyed points on site. We survey control points and place your drawings in true DLTM position.

Why Survey Points Are Needed
A drawing without coordinates has no fixed position. Surveyed points on site let us place, rotate and check it against reality.

Convert Drawings to DLTM Coordinates at a Glance
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Surveys the site and prepares drawings to the format of the developer and the authority. |
| 2 | Master developer (where the community has one) | Issues the community NOC against its design guidelines. |
| 3 | Building authority — Dubai Municipality, DDA or Trakhees — depending on the community | 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
- Any existing drawings (PDF or CAD)
- Access to the site for the survey
Key Technical Rules
- Survey-based: drawings are prepared from our own site survey, not traced from old PDFs.
- Authority format: prepared to the submission format of DM, DDA or Trakhees as required.
- DLTM where required: developers and authorities ask for AutoCAD in DLTM coordinates for works near or outside the plot limit.
- Existing and proposed: both sets are shown so reviewers can see the change.
- PDF and DWG: issued in both formats for submission.

Why Owners and Contractors Choose Structural Solutions
Drawings From Our Own Site Survey
We survey the site and prepare the AutoCAD drawings in DLTM coordinates ourselves — not traced from a PDF.
Plot Limit Shown Clearly
Works within and outside the plot limit, demarcation lines and existing features are shown the way developers and authorities expect.
Ready for Submission
AutoCAD (DWG) in DLTM plus PDF sets, coordinated with the NOC or permit you are applying for.
Get Your DLTM Drawings Prepared
Send us your location, affection plan and what the drawings are for — we will arrange the site survey and prepare AutoCAD DLTM drawings ready for submission.
Convert Drawings to DLTM Coordinates — FAQs
Can you convert my drawings to DLTM?
Yes, using surveyed control points on site.
Is the result accurate?
Yes — it is checked against the survey and plot limit.
What is DLTM?
DLTM (Dubai Local Transverse Mercator) is the local coordinate system used for surveys and drawings in Dubai.
Who asks for DLTM drawings?
Mainly master developers and authorities — especially to show works within or outside the plot limit, and for demarcation works.
Do you survey the site?
Yes — we prepare DLTM drawings based on our own site survey.
