Swimming Pool and Landscaping Approvals
We get private pools, pergolas and landscaping approved for villas across Dubai. Drawings, master developer NOC and the authority permit, prepared and followed up by our team.
- Authority ready drawings prepared by our engineers
- Submissions, comments and follow up handled for you
- Through to permit, NOC or completion certificate

How the approval process works
A private pool involves excavation, structure, drainage, electrical safety and connection to services, so it needs approval. In master developer communities the developer NOC is required first, followed by the permit from the regulating authority.
Landscaping that changes levels, adds structures such as pergolas or boundary walls, or affects drainage may also need approval. We confirm the requirement for your design.

Frequently asked questions
How close to the boundary can a pool be built?
Setbacks depend on the community guidelines and the authority regulations. We check this before design so the pool is approvable.
