FAQ

Compliance — common questions.

Yes. Our submittal team prepares the inspection-day documentation pack, our project manager attends the inspection, and our engineering desk responds to any inspector clarifications. The building owner does not need to attend.

We coordinate submittals across all GCC regulatory regimes from a single submittal team — ensuring consistency across Qatar QCDD, UAE Civil Defence, SBC, and other authority regimes.

Yes. Where the project envelope requires deviation or alternative compliance routes (common on bespoke architectural projects), our engineering desk prepares the alternative-compliance memo for authority approval.

Standard EN 81-20/50 submittal pack: 2 working weeks from receipt of project drawings. Complex bespoke configurations: 3–4 weeks.
