In an effort to achieve its ambitious goal of making Dubai the smartest city in the world, the city Municipality has launched a single electronic platform for obtaining construction permits.
The program provides comprehensive services, including the issuance of construction permits from all licensing authorities to consulting offices and contracting companies.
The unification process was completed by the Dubai Building Permit Development Committee, which was formed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. In order to increase the level of customer satisfaction, the committee was instructed to accelerate the completion of services by developing systems and requirements. It is headed by the Director General of the Design and Planning Sector of the Dubai Municipality, and representatives of government agencies participate in the licensing process.
Over the past year, the Dubai Municipality Construction Department has conducted more than 50,000 transactions.
