Authority Approvals for Dubai Office Fit-Outs
Municipality, Civil Defense and DEWA approvals.
Browse the authority approvals range ↓About Authority Approvals
Every commercial fit-out in Dubai eventually runs into the same three names: Municipality, Civil Defense, and DEWA - and getting their sign-off out of sequence is one of the most common reasons a project timeline slips. PickTheBrick handles authority approvals as a scoped, priced part of your quote, coordinating documentation and inspection scheduling for the trades that need it.
This isn't a separate consultancy relationship bolted onto your project - your Captain manages approvals against the same timeline as every other trade, so an inspection is booked when the relevant work (fire-rated doors, electrical distribution, ventilation) is actually ready for it, not before and not too late.

Why Choose PickTheBrick for Authority Approvals
Scheduled against your actual construction timeline
Inspections are booked once the relevant trade is genuinely ready, not on a generic assumption that leads to a failed first visit.
One Captain across every authority, not three separate contacts
Municipality, Civil Defense, and DEWA approvals are tracked by the same person managing your whole project, not handed off to a disconnected specialist.
Documentation prepared alongside the trades it covers
Fire ratings, electrical compliance, and ventilation specs are documented as those trades are installed, rather than reconstructed after the fact for an inspection.
Authority Approvals FAQs
Which authorities does this cover?
Dubai Municipality, Civil Defense, and DEWA are the three most common authorities for a commercial office fit-out - your Captain scopes exactly which apply to your specific project and building.
How long does authority approval typically take?
It varies by authority and building, but scheduling inspections against a coordinated project timeline - rather than after the fact - is usually the biggest factor in avoiding delays.
What happens if an inspection fails?
Your Captain coordinates the fix with the relevant trade contractor and rebooks the inspection - because approvals are tracked against the same project timeline as construction, this is managed as part of the existing plan, not a separate escalation.
Do I need authority approval for every fit-out, or just larger ones?
Requirements depend on the scope of work and your specific building/landlord - flag your project details when building your quote and your Captain will confirm what applies.
