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.
