Additional drawings such as drainage plans, landscape plans, or fire safety layouts may be required for larger extensions, extensions with pools, or extensions within communities that have specific additional documentation requirements. Confirming the full document list with your specific authority avoids incomplete submissions.
What Drawings Are Needed for a Villa Extension NOC?
A villa extension NOC application requires architectural drawings showing the existing and proposed layout, structural drawings and calculations for the new construction, a site plan showing setback distances from boundaries, and often an MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) drawing showing new utility connections. All drawings must be prepared in the specific format required by your approving authority.

What Format Should the Drawings Be In?
Drawing format depends on your approving authority: Dubai Municipality requires BPS format drawings, DDA has its own specific format for TECOM communities, and Trakhees requires CED format drawings for Nakheel and Dubai Holding communities. Submitting drawings in the wrong format is one of the most common causes of rejection.

Villa Extension NOC Drawings — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need both architectural and structural drawings?
Yes, both are required. Architectural drawings show the layout and design, while structural drawings show the engineering design and calculations.
Can I use the same drawings for different authorities?
No, each authority requires its own specific drawing format, so drawings must be adapted or redone for the specific authority governing your community.
Do I need MEP drawings for a small extension?
MEP drawings are typically required whenever the extension involves new plumbing, electrical, or air conditioning connections.
How long does it take to prepare a full drawing package?
Typically 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the extension and how quickly site survey information can be gathered.
What happens if my drawings are incomplete?
The authority will issue comments requesting the missing information, which delays approval until the complete package is resubmitted.
