This matters most for structural modifications such as wall removals, floor additions, and foundation work, where an authority will reject the entire submission if the stamping consultant is not properly registered for that specific jurisdiction. It also matters when switching consultants mid-project, since the new consultant's registration must be verified before continuing.
Who Can Stamp Structural Calculations in Dubai?
Structural calculations in Dubai must be stamped by a structural engineer or engineering consultancy registered and approved by the relevant authority for the project location, meaning Dubai Municipality, DDA, or Trakhees. The consultant must hold a valid registration specifically covering structural engineering with that authority, and stamps from unregistered engineers or firms are not accepted for permit submission.

What Qualifies a Consultant to Stamp Structural Calculations?
A consultant must be formally registered as a structural engineering consultant with the specific authority governing the project location, hold professional indemnity insurance where required, and maintain their registration in good standing. Registration with one authority, such as Dubai Municipality, does not automatically qualify a consultant to stamp drawings for Trakhees or DDA submissions.

Stamping Structural Calculations — Frequently Asked Questions
Can any structural engineer stamp calculations for any Dubai authority?
No, the engineer or firm must be specifically registered with the authority governing the project location, whether that is Dubai Municipality, DDA, or Trakhees.
What happens if I submit calculations stamped by an unregistered engineer?
The authority will reject the submission outright, and you will need to have the calculations reviewed and re-stamped by a properly registered consultant.
How do I check if a consultant is registered with the correct authority?
You can request their registration number and verify it directly with the relevant authority, or ask a registered consultant like Structural Solutions to confirm.
Does registration expire?
Yes, consultant registrations must be renewed periodically, so it is important to confirm the registration is current, not just that it existed previously.
Is Structural Solutions registered with all three major Dubai authorities?
Yes, Structural Solutions holds active structural consultant registration with Dubai Municipality, DDA, and Trakhees.
