| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Checks setbacks and coverage, designs the extension and prepares stamped drawings and calculations. |
| 2 | Master developer (where the community has one) | 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. |

Key Technical Rules
- Setbacks and coverage: the extension must respect the plot setbacks and coverage limits in the community guidelines.
- Counts as GFA: added floor area is reviewed as additional GFA by the developer and the authority.
- Existing structure checked: foundations, columns and slabs are checked for the new loads.
- Matching design: external finishes and rooflines must match the original villa.
- Completion inspection: required before the extension is used, sold or handed over.
