Moving walls or adding openings brings in the structural check and authority inspection.
Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation Sign-Off in Dubai
A kitchen or bathroom renovation in a developer community still requires the developer inspection after the works. If walls, slabs or drainage routes changed, the structural and services changes are checked too.

Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation Sign-Off in Dubai: The Short Answer
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural Solutions | As-built drawings, structural check and the owner letter pack; we request and attend the inspections. |
| 2 | Developer inspector | Final inspection: checks the works match the approved NOC drawings. |
| 3 | Authority inspector (DM, DDA or Trakhees) | Final inspection of the permitted works. Sometimes the authority inspects first, for example DM first and then Emaar. |
| 4 | Authority | Completion certificate issued, closing the permit. |
| 5 | Developer | Refundable deposit returned after clearance, where one was paid. |
Even internal works with no structural change still require the developer inspection.
