The Challenge
Arabian Ranches is an Emaar-managed residential community under the jurisdiction of the Dubai Development Authority (DDA). This quotation covers the full approval path a property there needs: the subject is a DDA & Emaar approval, so the drawing set has to be prepared as per DDA & Emaar regulation before design approval can be obtained from both, followed by a DDA inspection that releases the completion certificate. The AED 22,000 fee is defined around the inputs the client controls. The client supplies the 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.

Site visit and document review
Review the existing drawings, documents and green files supplied by the client, and confirm the current condition of the property in Arabian Ranches, Dubai.

Arabian Ranches is an Emaar-managed community, so the Emaar community approval requirements are confirmed before the drawing set is prepared.

Conduct inspection with DDA
Arrange and attend the DDA inspection of the works, and resolve any findings so the inspection passes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about DDA approvals like this one.
The quotation covers preparing the drawings as per DDA & Emaar regulation, obtaining design approval from the Dubai Development Authority (DDA) and Emaar, and conducting the DDA inspection that releases the completion certificate.
The Dubai Development Authority (DDA) issues the design approval and conducts the inspection, and Emaar is the Arabian Ranches community authority whose approval is part of the same scope, as stated in quotation LML/QTN/1115.
Arabian Ranches is an Emaar-managed residential community under the Dubai Development Authority. The quotation is therefore prepared as per DDA & Emaar regulation, with design approval obtained from DDA and Emaar so the community and authority approvals are handled together.
The client provides the existing drawings, documents and green files. Wasleen prepares the drawing set as per DDA & Emaar regulation and handles the DDA and Emaar design approval and inspection applications.
Additional charges apply for exceptional approval requirements, an inspection failure or a design revision, and VAT is separate as stated in the limiting conditions of quotation LML/QTN/1115.
No. Unlike some Arabian Ranches quotations, LML/QTN/1115 does not state a completion window in its limiting conditions, so the programme depends on the documents supplied and the DDA and Emaar approval process.
Payment is 50% in advance before starting the work, 40% during work progress and 10% after completion of the work, as stated in quotation LML/QTN/1115.
