Guide to Building a Villa on Grant Land in Dubai
Obtaining grant land in Dubai is the beginning of the road, but what no one tells you is that what happens in the first months of procedures determines the fate of your entire project. Many grant recipients start incorrectly and stall their project for months.
Grant Land Requirements in Dubai
Every grant land has different requirements from Dubai Municipality — setbacks, permitted building ratio, permitted height, and Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment requirements if you benefit from the housing loan. These details need someone to read them and translate them into correct decisions before you spend a single dirham.
The Most Common Mistake
Contracting with a contractor before completing procedures — and its result is delays that may extend for months and additional costs not budgeted. The contractor may start work then be stopped for lack of a permit, and you bear the cost of demolishing what was built.
