The new strategy, set-up by Dubai’s Committee for Building Permit Procedures Development, aims to enhance Dubai’s prominent positioning as a city where the active building and construction sector plays an important role as key component of the economic development.
The strategy is built upon three pillars, first developing and streamlining building permit procedures, then unifying systems and requirement, while the last one provides a ‘one stop shop’ where all the procedures and building permits processes in Dubai can be completed. The three pillars represent a comprehensive scheme that will ensure speeding up the process of acquiring permits in all its stages.
Daoud Abdul Rahman Al Hajri, Assistant Director General of Dubai Municipality of Engineering and Planning, and Head of the Committee, said that the new strategy reflects the vision of Shaikh Mohammad, aiming to enhance customers’ happiness and save them time and efforts to create a stimulating environment that promotes Dubai’s investment climate.
As for the strategy preparation process, Al Hajri noted that since its formation in February 2017, the Committee held several meetings and workshops with the concerned stakeholders to discuss the various details of acquiring building permits. The Committee also formed four teams to conduct detailed researches and studies, where the first team works on developing the new building regulations based on the feedback gathered from customers, contractors and consultancies.
