The Challenge
The client is a fire fighting equipment installation company in Jebel Ali whose existing drawings need a design revision to meet current Dubai Civil Defence regulation. The quotation's limiting conditions show where this type of approval usually stalls: the client supplies the existing drawings, documents and green files; exceptional approval requirements, a design revision or a failed inspection each carry an extra charge; and all government fees are paid directly by the client, with VAT separate. Managing those inputs up front is what keeps the quoted AED 5,500 fee final.
The Approval Timeline
Tap a step for detailsWhat We Did
The steps we followed to prepare and submit this approval — from drawing review to final submission.
Site visit and drawing review
Review the existing fire fighting drawings, documents and green files supplied by the client, and confirm the design revisions needed for DCD compliance.
Prepare drawings as per DCD regulation
Prepare the revised fire fighting drawing set so it meets Dubai Civil Defence regulation in a single submission.
Obtain design approval from DCD
Submit the drawing set and supporting documents to Dubai Civil Defence, and follow up until design approval is obtained.
Coordinate government fees
Confirm which government fees the client pays directly, keeping the quoted professional fee separate and predictable.
Conduct inspection with DCD
Arrange and attend the inspection with DCD inspectors, and resolve any findings so the inspection passes.
Release the completion certificate
Once the inspection passes, finalise the DCD documentation and release the completion certificate.
This project combined our 2D Drawings, Approval Management and Document Clearing services to deliver a single, tracked submission from drawings through final inspection.
