Structural Engineer Inspection for Sign-Off in Dubai: The Short Answer
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural Solutions | As-built drawings, structural check and the owner letter pack; we request and attend the inspections. |
| 2 | Developer inspector | Final inspection: checks the works match the approved NOC drawings. |
| 3 | Authority inspector (DM, DDA or Trakhees) | Final inspection of the permitted works. Sometimes the authority inspects first, for example DM first and then Emaar. |
| 4 | Authority | Completion certificate issued, closing the permit. |
| 5 | Developer | Refundable deposit returned after clearance, where one was paid. |
What the Inspectors Check
- Structure: our engineers check the structural works against the stamped calculations
- Built as approved: any change from the approved drawings must be approved or corrected before sign-off
- As-built drawings: drawings of the works as built, matching the approved drawings, are needed for the final inspection and the completion certificate
- Contractor: sign-off does not depend on the original contractor; a consultant can prepare the completion pack
