Is a drawing approval the same as a completion certificate?
No. DCD provides engineering-submission guidance and a separate completion application with supporting certificates. Confirm which stage and document your building authority requires.
What should be clear on a modification drawing?
DCD’s drawing guidance asks applicants to highlight the modified area and scope, identify the application and check the drawing’s scale and uploaded file.
Does an industrial or storage activity need extra information?
DCD’s submission guidance identifies a material or activity letter for industrial and storage projects. The detailed fire-safety requirements depend on the actual activity and design.
Where can I clarify a submission requirement?
Use DCD’s official e-Engineering guidance and customer-care channels. Keep the application reference and the exact review comment ready so the question can be directed to the relevant team.
