Frequently asked questions

What areas of Dubai do you cover?

We work across Dubai Municipality's mainland districts and Dubai's major free zones, including DDA, Trakhees, JAFZA, DIFC, and Dubai South - see our Service Areas page for the full list.

Which authorities do you file with?

Dubai Municipality, the Dubai Development Authority (DDA), Dubai Civil Defence, DEWA, Trakhees, JAFZA, and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), depending on your project.

How much does an approval cost?

It depends on the approval type, authority, and project size - use our cost calculator for a general AED range, or contact us for an exact quote.

How long does an approval take?

Timelines vary by authority and project complexity - a complete submission with no missing documents is always the fastest path, and we'll give you a specific estimate once we see your project.

Can you guarantee my project will be approved?

No engineering consultancy can guarantee a government authority's decision. We guarantee a complete, correctly formatted submission and direct follow-up on every authority query.

Do you handle both residential and commercial projects?

Yes - villa extensions and renovations on the residential side, and office fit-outs, retail units, warehouses, and change-of-use permits on the commercial side.

Can one project need more than one approval?

Yes - many projects need two or three approvals in parallel, such as a building permit, a Civil Defence NOC, and a DEWA connection.

Do you prepare the drawings yourselves?

We coordinate with your architect, structural engineer, or MEP consultant to prepare an authority-ready submission - if you don't have one assigned yet, we can help arrange it.
