Integrated Interior Design & Fit-Out Services

Launch Your Project Seamlessly: No Complications!

Imagine you have a brilliant project idea: a modern office, a vibrant restaurant, a state-of-the-art pharmacy, or a fully equipped clinic. Everything is prepared on paper; the design is ready, and materials are selected. Yet, one critical step could halt everything: Official FitOut Approvals.

In Dubai, any internal modification requires this authorization to ensure that every corner, every fixture, and every design detail is safe and compliant with regulations. Ignoring this critical step can lead to costly delays, rejection of work permits, or even unexpected financial penalties.

This is where DAEM CONTRACTING steps in. We don’t just prepare the design; we guide you through the process, taking you from vision to execution, one step at a time:

  • Preparing all required architectural, engineering drawings, and schematics.

  • Precisely selecting materials and finishes to meet strict compliance standards.

  • Submitting all official documentation and securing the necessary Fit-Out Approvals.

  • Supervising on-site execution to guarantee full adherence to regulations.

The result? Your project launches confidently, fully legal, safe, and with a design that impresses you and delights your customers from day one.

what is fitout approval?

FitOut Approvals is the official authorization required for interior modification works within residential and commercial spaces in Dubai, such as medical centers and general buildings.

Interior Fitout Approvals are granted following a comprehensive review of the architectural, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing), and Civil Defence drawings to ensure the project’s compliance with Dubai Municipality requirements and the Dubai Building Code.

Step-by-Step Process to obtain fit out approvals: From Vision to Reality & Regulatory Compliance

To secure a fitout permit, the process begins with consulting a licensed contractor for a project viability and feasibility study. This is followed by the conceptual design phase, which evolves into the detailed design, including meticulous material selection. After finalizing the design, the official approval procedures commence.

This involves submitting engineering drawings and required documents (like the tenancy contract) to the relevant Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as DCD. The final, documented execution plan, including detailed schedules, paves the way for on-site work and obtaining the final sign-off following a successful site inspection by bodies like DDA.

Fit-Out Approvals from Dubai Authorities

To obtain approvals for interior design and fit-out works in Dubai, you will generally need to engage with the following authorities, depending on the location and type of your project:

  2. Dubai Civil Defence approval: Their main focus is on fire safety and life safety systems, for any interior fitout that involves changes to fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, fire-rated materials, or escape routes.

  3. DDA approval: For areas under the Dubai Development Authority (formerly Dubai Creative Clusters Authority).

  4. Jafza approval: For areas within Jebel Ali Free Zone and other zones under the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation.

  5. DSOA / DIEZ: For Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority and Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (which includes Dubai Airport Free Zone).

  6. Concordia approval: for projects in the Multi Commodities Centre.

  7. Dubai Health Care City (DHCC): For projects within the Dubai Health Care City.

  8. Dubai South approval: For developments within the Dubai South area.

  9. DEWA approval: While not directly for interior design aesthetics, if your fit-out involves significant changes to electrical or water systems, you may neaed DEWA’s approval to ensure they meet their standards and regulations.

  10. RTA APPROVAL: If your interior fit-out impacts any transportation infrastructure, such as parking or traffic flow around the building, you might need RTA permits and approvals.7
