Structural calculations in Dubai are required for any new structure, structural modification, extension, mezzanine addition, or change of use. This includes villa owners adding a pergola or canopy, contractors building a steel mezzanine, and developers constructing new buildings. Our services cover steel, aluminum, and reinforced concrete structures.
If your calculations have already been prepared by another consultant and you need an independent review, see our third-party structural verification service.

What Are Structural Calculations in Dubai?
Structural calculations in Dubai are the engineering computations that verify a structure can safely carry all design loads. Under Dubai building regulations, structural calculations must be prepared and stamped by a UAE-licensed structural engineer before any permit can be issued by Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, JAFZA, or any developer authority. For official requirements see the Dubai Municipality website.
Structural Solutions provides independent structural calculations for steel, aluminum, RC, and timber structures across all Dubai authorities — accepted by DM, DDA, Trakhees, JAFZA, Emaar, Nakheel, and DAMAC.
