The MAF NOC checks the works against the community guidelines. Structural works such as extensions, wall removal or pools then need a DDA permit with structural drawings and calculations.
Ghaf Woods Villa Modification NOC
Modifying a villa or townhouse in Ghaf Woods starts with the Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) community NOC, followed by a DDA permit for structural works. We prepare the drawings and handle both submissions.

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
- Structural check first: any change to walls, slabs or openings is checked by an engineer before design.
- Community guidelines: the master developer's design rules govern facades, colours, heights and materials.
- Added area counts as GFA: any increase in built-up area is reviewed as additional GFA.
- Approvals before work: work starts only after the NOC and the building permit are issued.
- Sign-off at the end: completion drawings and an inspection close the file.
