    Dubai Home Renovation Guide

    The government ensures the renewal works in Dubai is outlined and monitored to meet safety, quality and building specifications. The permit depends upon the region your property is in; different authorities control the permit process:

    Dubai Development Authority (DDA)

    In case you own a property in areas that have been slated as freehold locations (such as Business Bay, Dubai Design District, or TECOM sectors), then you have to obtain the approval of the Dubai Development Authority (DDA) on the renovations you wish to make.

    Dubai Municipality (DM)

    The approval and inspection procedure of property in non-freehold or traditional residential place is carried out by Dubai Municipality. The older communities have most residential villas and apartments under the DB of DM.

    Role of DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority)

    In case your renovation involves repairing works on the electrical and plumbing systems, you might require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from DEWA to ascertain that your renovation will not cause interruptions to utilities or any risk.

    What is an NOC and Who Issues It?

    Before you can begin to renovate in Dubai, there is an obligatory document you must have known as an NOC (No Objection Certificate). This is the way to get one according to the type of your property:

    • Apartments: Get an NOC to the facility management of a building or owners association.
    • Villas: Obtain the NOC master developer ( e.g Nakheel, Emaar).

    This report explains that the proposed reworking plan is in accordance with the community regulations and it will not interfere with the shared system.

    Applying for Renovation Approval via BPS System

    To make approvals in respect to Dubai Municipality, visit the BPS (Building Permits System) portal:

    Steps:

    1. Go to the BPS platform on the Dubai Municipality web page.
    2. Upload:
    • Renovation drawing drawings
    • Card details development Architecting Introduction Architecting assumptions Architecting description
    • Duplicate of the NOC

    3. Submit the permit fees (depending on the type of property).

    4. Then it should be reviewed and approved, after which the Building Permit will be stamped by the Dubai Municipality and all drawings will be stamped.

      Final Inspections & Approvals

      After the work of renovation is over:

      1. Dubai Municipality and DEWA should be informed.
      2. The two bodies will carry out the final inspection to ascertain whether the job is in tandem with the plans approved.
      3. On satisfactory examination:
      • The Property Completion Certificate is issued by the Dubai Municipality.
      • DEWA offers Clearance Certificate.

      These certificates are meant to be used in documenting that your renovations are legal and are done in a manner that has been regulated and as such it can be legally accepted.

      Tips for Smooth Property Renovation in Dubai

      • Get an experienced, local contractor who is licensed.
      • Give notice to neighbours or management of the building to avoid complaints.
      • Improvements on structures should not be done without any approvals as it may yield fines or demolition policies.
      • Ensure that your contractor acquires every permit before he or she starts working.
      • Keep all certificates and approvals stashed away to be referenced or sold later.

      Summary

      Rebuilding your place in Dubai is also not only about style how it should look, but it is also about laws, acquiring legal licenses on re-building and safety. You can do legal and smooth changes in your property by the right guidance and certified contractors.
