DUBAI APPROVALS

What Are Dubai Approvals?

Dubai approvals are required for any construction project that is to take place within the emirate. The approval process is managed by the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED), and Selva Group is an expert in navigating through it.

There are four main types of Dubai approvals that are required for construction projects:

Planning permission:

This approval is required from the DED to carry out colorwork on a plot of land.

Building permit:

A building permit must be obtained from the DED before any construction work can commence.

Occupation permit:

An Occupation Permit must be obtained from the DED to live or work in a completed building.

Completion certificate:

A Completion Certificate must be obtained from the DED once construction work has been completed and the building has been inspected by them.

Other agencies include the Department of Economic Development (DED), which approves signs for commercial establishments, and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), which approves signs for construction projects.

The approval process usually takes around two weeks, but it can take longer if there are problems with the sign or if the agency requires more information from the applicant.

Solar Approval

Solar approval in Dubai is the process of officially authorizing the construction and use of a solar power system in the emirate. Solar approval is required for any solar power system that will be visible from the street or public areas, or that will be used for commercial purposes.

Solar approval is obtained from the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). The application process for solar approval can be complex, and it is important to work with an experienced group like Selva to ensure that all the necessary paperwork is filed correctly and in a timely manner.

Why is solar approval necessary? Solar power systems are subject to strict regulations in Dubai, as they are part of the city’s critical infrastructure. The goal of these regulations is to ensure that all solar power systems are safe and reliable and that they do not pose any risk to the public.

In addition to ensuring the safety of the public, solar approval also helps to prevent visual pollution from Solar PV systems. All Solar PV systems must be designed in a way that minimizes their impact on the appearance of Dubai’s skyline.

To do business in Dubai, you’ll need to obtain a trade license from the Department of Economic Development (DED). Part of this process involves getting your premises approved by the Dubai Municipality. This is where tent approval comes in.

The Dubai Municipality requires that all tents used for commercial purposes be approved before they can be used. This includes tents used for events, exhibitions, and pop-up shops. The approval process ensures that the tents meet all safety and quality standards.

The tent approval process is important for two reasons: safety and quality. First and foremost, approved tents must meet rigorous safety standards. This helps protect both customers and employees from injuries or accidents.

In addition to safety, approved tents must also meet high-quality standards. This ensures that customers have a positive experience when visiting your business. Tents that are not up to par can reflect poorly on your brand and damage your reputation.
