How Our Approval Process Works

Our expert engineers handle the entire NOC process, ensuring faster approvals and full compliance with Dubai regulations.

Structure First

Roof parapets and anchors must take the gondola loads — we check them before the equipment is installed.

Key Rules

  • Match the approved scheme: facade colours follow the building’s approved scheme.
  • Access equipment approved: scaffolding, gondola and rope access need DM, DDA or Trakhees approval, plus RTA on the road.
  • Check what you fix to: cladding, parapets and anchor points are checked before access equipment is used.
  • Approval before work: works start only after the NOC and permit.

Why Owners Use Structural Solutions

Right Colour, First Time

We get the developer’s colour code and prepare the request so the colour matches what is approved.

Developer and Authority

We handle the developer NOC and the DM, DDA or Trakhees permit together.

Access and Structure

For buildings we coordinate scaffolding, gondola and RTA approvals and check cladding, parapets and fixings.

Gondola & Cradle Permit for Building Painting Dubai — FAQs

Does a gondola need approval?

Yes — from DM, DDA or Trakhees, plus RTA on the road.

Do I need a NOC to paint the outside of my villa?

Yes in master-developer communities — the developer NOC, then the permit from DM, DDA or Trakhees.

Do I have to keep the same colour?

Developers usually ask you to match the existing colour and provide the colour code.

Do I need approval to paint inside my villa?

No — interior painting of a villa does not need a NOC (Wasl properties have their own painting NOC).
