The Challenge

This quotation covers five linked approvals for a single commercial unit in JVC: DEWA for the electrical supply and meter, Trakhees for the planning and development submission, the Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) for fire and life-safety, food and safety certification, and the building management NOC. Each authority reviews the same premises against its own regulation, so the drawing set has to be coordinated across all of them rather than produced authority by authority — a set prepared only against one checklist typically comes back for revision from the next. The AED 13,500 fee is defined around inputs the client controls. The client supplies all other existing drawings, documents and green files; exceptional approval requirements, an inspection failure or a design revision each carry an additional charge; government charges are paid by the client; and VAT is separate, as stated in the limiting conditions of quotation LML/QTN/1139. Because the fee is quoted across five submissions including the meter installation, locking the client-supplied drawings and green files early is what keeps the quoted AED 13,500 realistic.

What We Did

The steps we followed to prepare and submit this approval — from drawing review to final submission.

  1. Site visit and document review

    Review the existing drawings, documents and green files supplied by the client, and confirm the current condition of the commercial unit in JVC.

  2. Prepare one coordinated drawing set

    Prepare the drawing set as per DEWA, Trakhees, DCD, food and safety and building management regulation so a single coordinated submission serves all five approvals.

  3. DEWA drawing, inspection and meter

    Prepare the drawing as per DEWA regulation, conduct the DEWA inspection and complete the DEWA meter installation.

  4. Trakhees and DCD design approval

    Submit the drawings and supporting documents, and follow up until design approval is obtained from Trakhees and the Dubai Civil Defence.

  5. Inspections and certificates

    Conduct the Trakhees and DCD inspections that release the completion certificates, and prepare the drawing as per food and safety regulation to release the certificate.

  6. Building management NOC

    Prepare the drawing as per the building management requirement and follow up until the NOC is released.

This project combined our 2D Drawings, Approval Management and Document Clearing services to deliver a single, tracked submission from drawings through final inspection.
