Our retelling · details in the original publication
Dubai Municipality is developing an AI system to issue building permits for villas almost instantly. The process that used to take days will soon be reduced to minutes.
The AI reads architectural drawings and supporting documents. It checks them against the Dubai Building Code and technical requirements automatically. The system makes the final decision without human intervention.
Initially, this applies to all private and investment villas submitted by engineering consultancy firms across Dubai.
This change speeds up project starts significantly. Developers and investors face less bureaucracy when launching new villa projects.
