Sign approvals in DIFC

DIFC is a free zone with its own authority, and signs inside the district are approved through DIFC and the building's management, not through the mainland route. Retail and restaurant units follow the district's design guidelines, which limit size, colour and illumination.

Rules and fees change, so we confirm the current requirements for your address at the site survey, then prepare the drawings and submit the application for you.

Good to know. Many DIFC fit-outs are run by a contractor to a fixed handover date. Send us the fit-out drawings and we can price and schedule the signs alongside the rest of the works.
