What Is the Difference Between Concordia and DMCC Approval? FAQs
Is Concordia the same as DMCC?
No. DMCC approves; Concordia reviews, inspects and issues 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.
