How We Offer Both Freelance Calculations and Licensed Permit Approvals In-House

Save Time and Money with a Hybrid Engineering Service Built for Dubai’s Construction Needs

Introduction

In Dubai, nearly every modification—whether it’s a pergola, wall removal, villa extension, steel platform, or Freelance Calculations—requires two things:

1. Accurate structural calculations
2. Authority-approved permits

The problem? These two services are often offered by completely separate entities—freelancers for quick calculations, and licensed consultants for permit submissions.

At Structural Solutions, we’ve solved this problem by offering both services in-house:

• Freelance Engineering Calculations through our dedicated structural engineering team
• Licensed Authority Approvals through our in-house consultancy division, Nirvana Architectural Engineering Consultancy LLC

This unique setup eliminates delays, reduces cost, and gives you a one-stop solution for both technical design and legal approval.

Why Most Companies Can’t Do Both

In Dubai, you’ll typically find two types of service providers:

1. Freelancers or small engineering teams

✅ Quick
✅ Affordable
❌ Not licensed to submit to DM, DDA, Nakheel, or Trakhees

2. Large licensed consultancies

✅ Can submit to authorities
❌ Slow response time
❌ High minimum fees
❌ Often avoid “small” jobs like pergolas, kitchen extensions, or wall checks

This disconnect creates friction: you hire a freelancer for a drawing, only to find out you still need a licensed consultant to get the permit. You lose time, pay twice, and coordinate with two different parties.

Our In-House Solution: Two Services, One Team

We’ve built a hybrid system that combines both worlds under one roof:

You deal with one point of contact, and we coordinate everything internally—seamlessly.
