The Challenge
Two companies in Dubai Investment Park Second needed approval from Dubai Municipality (DM) and Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) to merge Warehouse 16 and 17 into a single unit, quoted in LML/QTN/1089. Merging two warehouse units combines two approved spaces into one, so the revised layout and its fire safety design have to be re-approved by both authorities before the merged unit can be occupied. The AED 16,000 professional fee covers preparing drawings as per DM and DCD regulation, obtaining design approval from DM and DCD, and conducting the DM and DCD inspection that releases the completion certificate.
The quotation keeps the fee final with clear limits: the client supplies the existing drawings, documents and green files; exceptional approval requirements, an inspection failure or a design revision each carry an additional charge; and VAT is separate. Confirming the existing documents at the start is what protects the quoted AED 16,000 fee.
