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.
