When planning a new interior project—whether it’s a retail shop, salon, office, restaurant, or villa—one of the biggest challenges owners face is authority approvals. In Dubai and across the UAE, no interior fit-out can begin without official permits from respective governing authorities. These approvals ensure your space meets health, safety, mechanical, electrical, structural, and fire safety standards.

For many clients, the process feels overwhelming. Each authority has its own rules, documentation, and steps. At My Decor LLC, we simplify this process by handling everything on your behalf—from drawings to submissions and follow-ups.
