The Challenge
Dubai Design District (D3) is a creative community of showrooms and design studios, and this ground-floor showroom at Building 5 needed an as-built drawing set prepared for DCD approval. Because the space had already been fitted out, the drawings had to record the built condition rather than the original layout, so the site visit and the collection of the existing as-built and construction drawings were the foundation of the set. The AED 4,500 fee is defined around inputs the client controls. The client supplies all other existing drawings, documents and green files; any revision required while preparing the DCD drawing set is included in the fee; exceptional approval requirements, an inspection failure or a design revision each carry an additional charge; VAT is separate; and the quotation notes that if an NOC is required from the building management, the price may differ. No fixed completion timeline is committed in the quotation.
