To acquire DDA approval for fit-out projects, it is crucial to adhere to the Fit-out Guidelines established by the Dubai Development Authority. These guidelines provide general information, procedures, technical requirements, and HSE regulations to assist building owners and tenants, designers, fit-out consultants, and fit-out contractors in effectively planning and designing overall fit-out works. Every fit-out consultant or contractor must comply with these guidelines and regulations, which are designed to ensure that the fit-out project is completed according to local statutory requirements and relevant international standards. The Fit-out Guidelines apply to all residential, industrial, institutional, or commercial establishments within the jurisdiction of the DDA Zoning Authority that undertake new fit-out works, fit-out additions, and fit-out modifications.
