JLT Office Fit-Out Approval: The Short Answer
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | You and our engineers | Your plan, photos and unit details. We get the existing drawings from building management or DMCC and check them on site. |
| 2 | Building management / owners association | NOC for the works. |
| 3 | DMCC (reviewed through Concordia) | Fit-out approval of the stamped drawings and calculations. |
| 4 | Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) | Approval of fire safety changes, then inspection. |
| 5 | Concordia | Final inspection and the Certificate of Completion (COC). |
What Gets Checked Here
- Building management NOC: the building management or owners association approves the works first
- DMCC fit-out approval: DMCC approves the fit-out, with the drawings reviewed through Concordia
- Civil Defence: changes to fire alarm, sprinklers, exits and other fire safety need DCD approval
- Certificate of Completion: after inspection, Concordia issues the COC confirming the works match the approved drawings

- Building management NOC (we help prepare the request)

JLT Office Fit-Out Approval FAQs
What approvals does a JLT office fit-out need?
Building NOC, DMCC via Concordia, DCD and the COC.
Who approves fit-outs in JLT?
The building management NOC comes first, then DMCC fit-out approval reviewed through Concordia, DCD approval for fire safety, and the Concordia COC after inspection.
What is Concordia?
Concordia is the building and facilities management for JLT towers, appointed by DMCC. It reviews fit-out drawings, inspects the works and issues the Certificate of Completion (COC).
Where do I get existing drawings for my unit?
From the building management or DMCC. If the unit was changed since, we survey it and update the as-built drawings.
Do I need a COC after a fit-out?
Yes. Concordia inspects the works and issues the COC when they match the approved drawings.
