What is TECOM Authority Approval?
TECOM Authority Approval is an official permission issued by TECOM Group (now part of Dubai Holding) for any structural, interior, or MEP-related work within its regulated communities. These areas include business districts such as Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Knowledge Park, Dubai Science Park, and other TECOM-managed zones.
The approval ensures that all design, construction, and engineering works comply with TECOM’s building standards, safety requirements, and community guidelines while maintaining consistency across business environments.

TECOM Authority Approvals at a Glance
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Prepares the drawings and calculations to the authority's format and handles the submissions. |
| 2 | Dubai Holding (master developer) | Issues the community NOC against its design guidelines. |
| 3 | Building authority — Dubai Municipality, DDA or Trakhees — depending on the community | Building permit; work starts only after it is issued. |
| 4 | Developer and authority | Completion inspection and sign-off. |

- Owner passport and Emirates ID copy
- Affection plan / site plan

Key Technical Rules
- One authority per area: each community has one building authority — DM, DDA or Trakhees.

- Authority format: drawings must follow that authority's submission format.
- Registered consultant: submissions are made by an authority-registered consultant.
