Coverage questions

Do you cover areas outside this list?

These are the districts we work in most often - contact us with your address and we'll confirm coverage and the correct authority for your plot.

Does the approval process differ by area?

Yes - Dubai Municipality, DDA, Trakhees, JAFZA, and each free zone authority run their own process and fee schedule, so the applicable authority depends on exactly where your plot sits.

Can you handle a project spanning more than one area?

Yes - a business with multiple Dubai locations can have all of its approvals coordinated through one point of contact.

Ready to move your approval forward?

Send us your drawings or documents and we will tell you exactly what the authority needs.
