A structural assessment is required for any new multi-storey or basement car park, any change of use that adds parking capacity to an existing structure, and any older car park where RTA or your building permit application requires updated structural certification.
Car Park Structural Assessment Dubai | RTA-Ready Structural Package
A car park structural assessment establishes whether an existing or proposed parking structure — surface, basement, or multi-storey — can safely carry its intended load, and produces the calculations RTA requires as part of parking approval. Structural Solutions delivers assessment reports ready for direct RTA submission.

Car Park Structural Assessment — FAQs
Does every car park need a structural assessment?
Multi-storey and basement car parks almost always need one; surface lots need one when load-bearing conditions or use changes.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your plot or unit details, title deed or affection plan, any existing drawings and a short description of the works — we confirm the approvals needed and prepare the submission.
Can this be submitted directly to RTA?
Yes — our reports are prepared in RTA-ready format for direct submission.
What if my car park was built without structural drawings?
We can conduct an as-built assessment based on site survey and testing where original drawings aren't available.
