The Challenge
This quotation covers the DCD final approval stage for a project in Dubai. Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) reviews the fire and life-safety design of a submission, and quotation LML/QTN/1156 confirms the DCD design approval (final approval) route at AED 1,800 plus 5% VAT, a grand total of AED 1,890.00. The quotation records the location only as Dubai, UAE and states no premises type, unit or area. The limiting conditions show where the client controls the outcome. The client supplies all other existing drawings, documents and green files; an additional price applies for exceptional approval requirements; an additional charge applies for inspection failure or design revision; government charges are paid by the client; and VAT is charged separately, as set out in the limiting conditions of quotation LML/QTN/1156. Because the quotation states no completion window, the programme depends on the drawings and green files the client provides, the government charges being settled and DCD's own review times.
