Authority path
Submissions and NOCs have durations. They are tied to the site activity they release.
DUBAI
Planning and Scheduling in Dubai
Dubai programmes are fast, vertical and full of interfaces. The schedule has to show which approval or delivery actually holds the date.
Dubai
Planning towers and districts where the approval is critical
Dubai building programmes move quickly and overlap design with construction. Authority submissions, NOCs from neighbouring assets and long-lead façade or MEP plant decide the date as often as the site labour does. A schedule that only lists trades will look busy and still miss handover.
We plan by zone and by system: substructure, structure, envelope, MEP risers, fit-out and commissioning. Phased handover of a tower or a district is coded so the first opening does not consume the resources of the next. Logistics in dense plots, including night deliveries where they are a real constraint, are in the network.
The consultancy remains in Manchester. Dubai teams use the same baseline and update discipline we apply on UK and US programmes, adjusted for the UAE calendar and FIDIC.
On the programme
What has to be got right
Vertical sequence
Risers, plant rooms and floors are sequenced so MEP is not left as a single late bar.
Phased opening
Each phase has commissioning and authority completion, not a shared milestone with no logic.

Questions we are often asked
Do you have a Dubai office?
No. We are based in Manchester and support Dubai programmes with the project team.
Can you plan both the main contract and the fit-out?
Yes, in one schedule, with a sectional handover between them when the contract splits the scope.
Which sectors are most common?
Commercial towers, mixed-use districts, hospitality and infrastructure interfaces. Data centres and industrial work are planned with their own sector logic as well.
