I Just Bought a Villa in Nad Al Sheba Gardens: What Can I Change: The Short Answer
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | You and our engineers | Your idea, photos and plot details. We get the villa plans from Meraas and check them against what is built. |

| 3 | DDA | Building permit for structural works. |

- Villa plans: Meraas can provide the plans of your villa; check them against what is actually built
- DDA permit: structural works need a DDA building permit after the Meraas NOC
- Early answer: photos and a sketch let us tell you if the idea is realistic before full drawings
What to Send Us
- Title deed and owner ID
- Photos of the villa and the area to change
- Villa plans (Meraas can provide these)
