The Challenge

Dubai Silicon Oasis is a technology free zone with its own authority, so an office fit-out approval inside the community runs through Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSO) together with Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) for the fire and life-safety elements of the scheme. This project covers the 1st and 2nd floor offices of an institutional client in Dubai Silicon Oasis, and quotation LML/QTN/1120 issued on 19 June 2026 itemises the AED 10,000 fee into four lines: DSO registration, drawing modification, obtaining the NOC from DSO & DCD, and conducting the inspection and releasing the completion certificate. The client supplies all other existing drawings, documents and green files; exceptional approval requirements and any inspection failure or design revision are charged extra; VAT is separate; and any additional works are charged extra. Payment follows a 50% advance, 40% progressive and 10% final schedule, and the quotation does not commit to a fixed completion timeline.
