Approved Project Portfolio
Projects Approved Across Every Dubai Authority
Villa extensions, warehouse mezzanines, restaurant and clinic fit-outs, Change of Use — grouped by the authority that approved them, because that is what determines the drawings, the fees and the timeline. 1,500+ permits secured with a 98% first-pass approval rate.
Mainland Dubai plots, submitted through the BPS portal under the Dubai Building Code and Al Sa'fat 2.0. The largest share of our portfolio — villa extensions, commercial fit-outs, mezzanines and Change of Use. See the approval service

Which authority approved these projects?
It depends on the plot. Mainland Dubai projects are approved by Dubai Municipality through the BPS portal. Projects in Nakheel master communities and the port free zones go through Trakhees PCFC. Projects in Dubai Development Authority zones follow DDA Circular 400 format through the DDA portal. The three groups below are split on exactly that basis.
Do you handle both the design and the approval?
Yes. We are a licensed engineering consultant, so drawings are produced in-house to the submitting authority's format rather than being redrawn from a third-party design. That is what keeps the first-pass approval rate high — most rejections are drawing-format and compliance issues, not design issues.
How long does a typical approval take?
Residential DM permits typically run 3 to 5 working days, DDA 7 to 14, and Trakhees 5 to 20, once a complete submission is accepted. The variable that dominates most programmes is not the authority's review time but the developer or building-management NOC that has to be in place first — that step can add two to three weeks in master-developer communities.
