Dubai’s buildings will receive a star-rating as part of a complete overhaul of the emirate’s building classification system, Dubai Land Department said in a statement.

The new Building Classification System utilises state-of-the-art tablet computers used by qualified engineers and surveyors. The software gathers and verifies land and property data on site with various government databases.

The system will create a complete database of every single unit in Dubai as well as a star rating for each building.

“Our whole project team is extremely proud to see our technical developments and hard work bearing fruit,” said Director General of DLD His Excellency Sultan Butti Bin Mejren.

“We are confident that the training programme our engineers have conducted, in tandem with system technicians, will guarantee delivery of the project’s core aims.”

The ultimate aim of the project is to ensure a smoother user experience for the Ejari system as well a more detailed calculation method for rental and service charge increases as mandated by the law.

The new system will have far-reaching benefits not only for governmental and regulatory bodies but also for tenants, landlords, investors and businesses.

It is also 100 per cent “paperless” and with real-time data entry and will use 4G connectivity feed in the data via tablet.
