Dubai Municipality has approved Dubox’s Modular Construction System as part of its updated building systems, supporting the adoption of advanced construction technologies in the emirate.
The approval supports the use of construction methods that improve project execution efficiency, reduce delivery timelines, and enhance building quality across residential and public infrastructure projects.
A delegation from Dubai Municipality, led by Eng. Maryam Al Muhairi, CEO of the Building Regulation and Permits Agency, visited the manufacturing facility operated by AMANA Group in Dubai Industrial City.
The visit was conducted to review modular construction operations and discuss coordination with private sector entities involved in the development and implementation of new construction technologies.
Modular construction process
In the modular construction process, building units are manufactured in a factory environment according to defined technical and quality standards before being transported to site for assembly.
Dubai Municipality stated that this method supports improved construction efficiency, reduced material usage, and lower environmental impact, along with more controlled use of resources during the construction process.
The company also presented its building portfolio, ongoing projects, and planned developments, along with operational aspects related to broader adoption of modular construction within the sector.

“Dubai Municipality is committed to fostering a competitive and attractive business environment within the construction sector by encouraging the wider adoption of advanced building technologies and modern construction methods. We are also providing the necessary support to facilitate the use of modular construction in the development of housing projects for Emirati citizens, an approach that has the potential to reduce the overall cost of these projects.”
The company also presented updates on modular buildings being developed for Dubai Municipality’s ‘Work from Park’ initiative, which started at Al Barsha Pond Park. The initiative provides flexible workspace facilities within public parks across Dubai.
