Trakhees Format Villa Extension Drawings Dubai
Trakhees format refers to Trakhees CED's specific drawing layout and documentation standard for villa extension submissions. Structural Solutions prepares documentation to the exact format your developer and authority require for your villa extension submission.
What Is Trakhees Drawing Format for Villa Extensions?
Trakhees CED (Civil Engineering Department) has its own drawing layout, scale, labeling, and documentation requirements for villa extensions in Nakheel-developed communities like Palm Jumeirah, JVC, JVT, Al Furjan, Jumeirah Park, and Jumeirah Islands, distinct from DDA and Dubai Municipality standards.
What you need to know
- When Do You Need Trakhees Format Drawings?: Any villa extension submission within a Trakhees-regulated community needs drawings prepared specifically to Trakhees' required format.
- Survey-based: drawings are prepared from our own site survey, not traced from old PDFs.
