Third-party verification
Who can provide third-party structural verification?
An approved structural consultant who is independent of the original design. The verifier reviews the design or works and issues a stamped verification for the authority.
The short answer
Independence is the key requirement: the verifying consultant must not have prepared the design being checked. They must also be approved to submit to the authority concerned, such as Dubai Municipality, DDA or Trakhees.
