π¨ Planning a fit-out in Dubai? Don't touch a single wall before reading this.
Any office, shop or restaurant renovation that affects fire safety needs DUBAI CIVIL DEFENCE (DCD) APPROVAL β and most projects get delayed here, not at the design stage. β³
Here's how the approval actually works π
1οΈβ£ DCD Reception Review β your submission is checked and accepted
2οΈβ£ DCD Office Review β engineers review your fire & life-safety drawings
3οΈβ£ Drawings compliant? β
Final Approval issued with STAMPED drawings ready to download β your contractor can now install or replace the fire alarm system as per the approved drawings
β Non-compliant drawings = rejection, resubmission fees, and weeks lost
β
Compliant drawings first time = approval in days, not months
We prepare DCD-compliant drawings daily β offices, retail & restaurants across Dubai, JLT, Business Bay & all free zones. Approval handled from start to handover. ποΈ
