How to Get Sharjah Municipality Approval for Interior Fit-Out Projects: Guide
At BAHR AL IBDAA Décor Cont. (bidcont), we specialize in securing all necessary authority approvals for commercial and residential interiors across the UAE. Here’s a complete guide to navigating the municipality approval process in Sharjah.
Why Municipality Approval is Required
لماذا موافقة البلدية ضرورية؟
Sharjah Municipality approval ensures that your interior design (تصميم داخلي), MEP works (أعمال ميكانيكية وكهربائية وصحية), and structural changes comply with local building codes and health and safety standards. Without this approval:
Work may be stopped by authorities
You could face legal penalties
Your business license might be delayed
