Palm Jumeirah Construction & Modification Approvals

What?

What approvals are required for Palm Jumeirah?

Every modification in Palm Jumeirah—from internal wall removal to structural extensions—requires a **Nakheel Developer NOC** followed by a **Trakhees Building Permit**. No work can commence without both clearances.

Why?

Why is official permit compliance necessary?

Official approvals protect the structural integrity and luxury standards of the Palm. Without them, owners face heavy fines, demolition orders, and the forfeiture of their **Nakheel Security Deposit (approx. 5,000–10,000 AED)**.

Who?

Who manages the approval liaison?

Dar Al Naseeb Contracting LLC acts as the authorized technical partner, managing the submission of architectural sets, structural reports, and DEWA load schedules to both Nakheel and Trakhees.

Where?

Where is the work regulated?
