The Challenge
This quotation covers the DDA & Damac approval path a residential property in a Damac-managed community in Dubai needs before the works can be certified. The subject is DDA & Damac approval, so the work is split into two document sets: the documents and drawings are prepared and submitted to Damac, the community manager for the property, and a separate set is prepared and submitted to the Dubai Development Authority (DDA), which then issues the NOC, the work permit and the final inspection. The AED 17,000 fee is defined around inputs the client controls. The client supplies all existing drawings, documents and green files; exceptional approval requirements, an inspection failure or a design revision each carry an additional charge; and VAT is separate. The quotation does not commit to a fixed completion timeline, so confirming the existing documents up front is what keeps the programme and the quoted price realistic.
