Which Drawings Require a Stamp

Structural drawings almost always require a UAE-licensed consultant's stamp for mall fit-out. Architectural, MEP, and shop drawings often need one too, depending on the scope of work and the specific mall's requirements. Purely cosmetic drawings (finishes, loose furniture layouts) typically don't.

Which Drawings Need Stamping — FAQs

Does every single drawing need its own stamp?

Each drawing type that requires review gets stamped individually, but not every drawing in your set necessarily needs one — we'll confirm which do.

What if my fit-out is purely cosmetic?

Purely cosmetic work (paint, flooring, furniture) typically doesn't need a structural stamp, but always confirm with your specific mall.

Do MEP drawings always need a stamp too?

Often, but not always — it depends on the scope and the mall's specific requirements.

Can one consultant stamp multiple drawing types?

Yes — a UAE-licensed structural consultancy can review and stamp structural, architectural, and MEP drawings within their scope of registration.

How do I find out my specific mall's requirements?

We can confirm mall-specific requirements once we know which mall and unit you're working with.
