When a fit-out project is awarded, the first step is to extrapolate design layouts into two distinct sets of technical drawings.

Approval sets are created and submitted to the various approval authorities, formatted specifically to meet authority requirements. Based on our extensive experience in successfully negotiating the approvals process. These drawings reflect the details that the relevant authorities expect and base their comments and approvals on. Getting this process right in one go means we move onto the site faster thus saving cost and time.

The Execution set contains all interior design construction details required by the Al Saffar interiors fit out teams which include all Civil, MEP and bespoke joinery works. These drawings reflect the agreed design intent to the minutest detail, including finishes, materials, power, IT, HVAC etc. We treat these drawings as a live document subject to constant updates based on any changes on site. As the client you are invited to sign off on both technical drawing sets and approve the finalized material finishes presentation in a live-document format to all parties for easy reference and modification.

We initiate the approvals processes with all relevant regional authorities which vary depending on the location of the projects.

• Approvals may be required from:
• Specific regional or local authorities, (such as TECOM, DCCA, DHCC, DMCC, EMAAR, JAFZA, DDA, TRAKHEESand other relevant bodies.)

All fit out approvals are carried out as per the guidelines and processes recommended by the agency in question. Our extensive experience with fit out approvals in Dubai and across the UAE means you can be sure everything is submitted the right way to the right department first time.

Al Saffar interiors apply a multi-tiered approach to project management, ensuring client expectations and the designer’s vision are honored, whilst always keeping an eye on risk and opportunity management.

An in-house, qualified and full experienced Project Engineer is appointed to supervise, oversee and manage the day to day running of the site ensuring the highest professional fit out standards are being met at all times under the supervision of the project manager.

The Project Engineer continually liaises with external authorities, external vendors and any other relevant agencies to ensure a full collaborative approach.

In addition, your Project Manager chairs weekly site meetings which bring together all the key stakeholders including the client representatives, project designers, fit out teamand other key staff.

Behind the scenes our Project Management team ensures all procurement schedules, risk analyses and vendor timelines are managed via a live document, so the critical path of the project can be traced and effectively managed all the way from inception to completion.

Health and Safety is critical to all on-site activity and is managed by fully qualified and experienced Health and safety officer.
