An incomplete application can delay or stall your approval. SBM Contracting reviews your documentation in advance to reduce the risk of delays or requests for additional paperwork.
A DEWA NOC (No Objection Certificate) confirms that a construction or building project meets DEWA’s requirements and does not conflict with existing electricity or water infrastructure. It’s typically needed before building permits are finalized or connections installed.
Any property or project requiring a new electricity or water connection, or a change to an existing one, needs approval and coordination through DEWA before the connection can be installed.
Typical requirements include project drawings, technical specifications, load requirement details, and supporting property or ownership documents. SBM Contracting prepares and collects the full set for you.
Timelines depend on the scope of the project, the completeness of the submitted documents, and DEWA’s current processing schedule. Working with an experienced contractor helps avoid delays from incomplete submissions.
Costs depend on the scope of the connection or NOC required, and DEWA’s own authority fees are charged separately from our service fee. Contact SBM Contracting for a clear, upfront quote.
Unapproved connections or work affecting DEWA infrastructure can result in fines, disconnection, or delays while the issue is resolved through proper channels.

A Building NOC confirms a project meets DEWA’s requirements as part of the wider building permit process, while a connection approval is specifically for installing or modifying an electricity or water connection. Projects often need both.
