From concept sketches to construction-ready drawings — and every approval in between.
In Dubai, no construction project moves forward without the proper approvals. Whether you are renovating a villa in Arabian Ranches or building a new residence on Palm Jumeirah, architectural drawings, engineering documentation and municipality clearances form the bedrock of every project. Without them, contractors cannot price accurately, authorities will not issue permits, and timelines spiral out of control.
Our Design & Approvals division handles the entire journey — from the first concept sketch through to the final stamped permit. We work with Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, DDA, Nakheel and every relevant authority so you never have to chase paperwork, decode regulations or visit government offices yourself.
With over 800 projects approved across Dubai's most demanding communities, we know exactly what each authority requires, which common mistakes delay applications, and how to fast-track the process when timelines are tight.
From concept sketches to construction-ready drawings — designs that balance beauty, function and buildability for villas and commercial projects.

Our in-house architects and engineers produce construction-ready drawings, 3D visualisations and all technical documentation.
We submit to the relevant authorities — Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, DDA or developer — and manage all revisions and queries.
Once approved, we hand you the stamped drawings and permits. If you are building with us, we move straight into construction.
