What is third-party structural verification in Dubai?
It is an independent check of a structural design or of built works by an approved consultant who did not prepare the design. Dubai Municipality, DDA and Trakhees can ask for it for certain structures and works.
The short answer
Third-party verification adds a second, independent review. The verifying consultant checks the design calculations and drawings, or the works on site, and issues a stamped verification. Authorities ask for it on some structures, and owners also use it to confirm a design or works done by others.
