Frequently Asked Questions
It manages communities developed by Nakheel, Meraas and Dubai Properties. These include JBR, 1/JBR, Bluewaters, City Walk, La Mer, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah and business parks such as Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Dubai Knowledge Park, Dubai Science Park and Dubai Studio City.
You need one before starting fit-out, renovation, MEP alterations or any work that affects shared areas, facades or building systems in a managed apartment, villa, retail or office unit.
Business parks such as Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and Dubai Knowledge Park fall under the Dubai Development Authority, so fit-out works there usually need a DDA permit as well as the community or building management NOC. We handle both.
Typically the owner or landlord NOC, title deed or tenancy contract, trade licences, contractor details, scope of work, architectural and MEP drawings, a method statement and insurance. We confirm the exact checklist for your building before submitting.
Submission of the NOC application, technical review by community or building management, any authority permits needed, work permits and access arrangements, inspections during the works, and a final inspection before handover.
It depends on the scope of works, the completeness of the submission and whether authority permits are also required. Complete drawings and documents avoid most resubmissions, and we follow up until the NOC is issued.
Fees are set by the approving authority or management company and depend on the type and size of the works. We confirm the applicable fees during our initial review and give you a clear quote for our services.
Community management can stop the works, block contractor access and apply penalties under the community rules. Unapproved changes may have to be reversed at your cost.
Yes. We arrange the final inspection with community or building management, close out any snags and submit the completion documents for sign-off.
