Pre Development Stage
The pre-development stage of a business activity includes the issuance of a trade license by the real estate developer to practice the real estate development activity. In this step, the real estate developer needs to deal with a number of governmental authorities and complete a number of services. The process begins with submitting the application to obtain a trade license and concludes by receiving the license to practice the activity of real estate development in the Emirate of Dubai.
This stage is the most significant stage in the work of the real estate developer, as the vast majority of services needed during the development process are in this stage. Moreover, the real estate developer is required to benefit from the services provided by most of the entities participating in such a process.
The stage of the real estate development is divided into several sub-phases; each of which includes a series of services to be completed by the real estate developer. These steps are summarized in three phases; the first phase is the master plan approval. This is a key stage as the real estate developer cannot begin construction works without having it completed beforehand; as such completion is an initial approval on project's master plan from the different licensing authorities.
The second stage is the issuance of the building permit and the completion certificate; where the real estate developer completes the construction, building works and the infrastructure of the project to obtaining the project completion certificate.
Followed by the third stage of sale/ marketing conducted in conjunction with the construction stage in case of Off-Plan Sale or after the completion of the construction works of the project.
This stage is concerned with services that may be required by the real estate developer after finishing the project and obtaining the project’s completion certificate from the licensing authority. It also includes the services required by the real estate developer after the completion of the development process and the settlement of the project›s trust account (In case units are sold off-plan).
There are other services that the real estate developer may request exceptionally during the development process, such as amendments, or requesting an additional service from the licensing authorities
