Service
Fit-Out Permit Management
This is the core service: we take a fit-out project from 'which authority even governs this unit?' to a completion certificate in hand — one project manager, one document baseline, one tracker you can actually read. Dubai Municipality, Civil Defence, DDA, Trakhees, DMCC, DIFC, the free zones and the master developers: whichever combination your unit triggers, we run all of it as a single programme.
We are approvals specialists, not a fit-out contractor — we never compete for your construction work. Contractors, interior designers and project managers hand us their approvals precisely because their client relationship stays theirs, their drawings stay confidential, and their programme stops leaking weeks into authority portals.

How it runs
- 01
Scope review — free
Send us the unit details and intended works; we return the authority map, document checklist, government-fee estimate and a fixed consultancy quote.
- 02
Document & drawing assembly
We collect what exists, survey what doesn't, and produce the permit-grade package once — reused across every authority that needs it.
- 03
Submissions & tracking
Every application filed, every status tracked, every comment answered. You get a weekly one-page status, not a portal login and good luck.
- 04
Inspections & completion
We attend inspections, close observations and deliver the completion certificate with the full document file.
FAQs
Contractors are excellent at building and typically hate portal work — approvals get delegated to whoever is free, and the programme pays. We do only approvals, at volume, across every Dubai jurisdiction, with the registrations and authority relationships that come from that focus. Most of our work arrives from contractors, not in spite of them.
A fixed consultancy fee quoted after the free scope review, plus government fees at cost with receipts — never marked up, never bundled. Typical small-commercial scopes start around the cost of two weeks of the rent you'd otherwise lose to a rejected submission.
Yes — Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the northern emirates through the same managed process, most often for multi-site rollouts anchored in Dubai.
