How To Get an Approval for Construction?
To start construction in Dubai, you need to get an Approval. This is an important point: with this paper, you’d better remember about building. Before starting work, you must provide the Municipality with all the information about your project, give a detailed description, and tell the city authorities about the new building’s safety, reasonableness, and functionality. On the one hand, it is easier to do this if you have a flawless project from a well-known architect and all documents are perfect. On the other hand, even in such situations, there are difficulties. The first stage that you have to go through is drafting a project. The plan of the new building must comply with the laws of the UAE. Before applying, be sure to read the recommendations of the Municipality. It is essential to consider not only the technical side. You need to fill out the applications correctly.
  For drafting, it is better to contact an experienced engineer. The Department of Construction refused due to incorrect application filling, although the project was all right. — Galiullin Kamil  
When the documents are prepared, you can send them for verification. Pay the application fee and attach the invoice to your request. It will take some time for the Municipality to review the application: the process usually takes three to four days, but it can take longer if questions arise. The Municipality will inform you of the reason if the application is not approved. Fix the bugs and submit your request again. You can apply as many times as you need – but remember that you will have to pay again for each attempt. Once your project is approved, construction can begin. At the same time, all work must be carried out in strict accordance with the plan approved by the Municipality. The city authorities not only have the right to control how construction is going – they will do it. An approximate schedule of inspections can be agreed with the Dubai Municipality. All checks passed without problems? Then you can get a certificate.
