We provide a comprehensive guide through the DIFC approval process:

• Initial Meeting: Before the submission process, we meet with the facilities management team of the project building. This consultation helps us understand the unique requirements and processes involved in each building, setting a clear direction for the submission.
• Online Portal Submission: All applications for construction work are submitted through DIFC’s online portal. The initial submission typically takes three to seven working days to receive a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
• Additional Approvals: In addition to the primary submission, various other approvals are required. These include concept drawing applications, shell and core applications, and general works applications.
• Initial Site Inspection: Once all the approvals are in place, we schedule an initial site inspection to ensure that the site is prepared and safe for the fit-out work.
• Surprise Site Inspections: DIFC may conduct unannounced site inspections once the work has commenced to verify that the work aligns with the approved submission.
• Final Inspection: Upon completing the project, we apply for a final inspection to obtain the fit-out completion certificates.
