Confirm inspection requirements before sequencing the site works. Dubai Municipality’s building procedures cover technical inspections of sites under construction as well as completion, but they are not a universal checklist for every renovation or building.
Inspection during the building programme
An inspection plan should relate to the project’s permit and approved scope. Avoid treating the final completion visit as a substitute for earlier checks that the project requires.
Check the permit and inspection records
Keep the approved drawing revision, permit conditions, construction programme and available inspection records together. Ask who requests each inspection and what must be ready on site.
Plan the inspection stages
Identify the required stages
Review the applicable authority procedure with the project team.
Assign responsibility
Name who requests, attends and records each check.
Track comments
Keep the outcome and corrective actions with the project records.
Confirm close-out
Check the remaining inspection and completion requirements before handover.
Confirm the close-out requirements
If a required inspection was missed, ask the appointed team to confirm the next step with Dubai Municipality. DM may require an as-built submission, such as a structural as-built, depending on which inspection was missed and the work involved.
