Dubai issued new legislation aimed at maintaining the quality and safety of buildings [https://www.zawya.com/en/business/real-estate/mohammed-bin-rashid-issues-law-on-quality-safety-of-buildings-in-dubai-gwgvw66p]. Will this calm investor jitters?
The new law, No. (4) of 2024, aims to ensure structural integrity, safety, and sustainability in building projects. It clarifies the rights and obligations of all parties involved in construction, including owners, developers, contractors, and supervisors. The legislation also establishes a Building Quality and Safety Department within Dubai Municipality to oversee compliance. This department will be responsible for issuing building permits, conducting inspections, and enforcing the new regulations. These regulations come after concerns about construction quality and safety standards in some projects. Some believe stricter enforcement and clearer guidelines could boost investor confidence in Dubai's real estate market.
