BIM outsourcing for UAE consultants and contractors
Revit modelling, MEP coordination, combined services and shop drawings for projects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE, produced in India and delivered to your standards.
Why Dubai and Abu Dhabi firms use our team
Dubai Municipality has required BIM for larger buildings since its circulars of 2013 and 2015, and from 2024 BIM-based designs have been part of permit applications for buildings above set heights and areas, hospitals, universities and government projects. That has put steady demand on consultants and contractors for coordinated models, combined services drawings and shop drawings, often to tight authority and site deadlines.
Our engineers design HVAC, plumbing, electrical and fire systems themselves, so when we coordinate a Dubai high-rise ceiling void we know which service can move and which can't. Contractors get shop drawings that survive consultant review; consultants get models that match their design intent.
Typical work for UAE projects
- MEP shop drawings and combined services drawings for contractors
- Coordinated Revit models for Dubai Municipality BIM submissions
- Fire fighting and fire alarm layouts for Civil Defence submissions, under your engineer's review
- Builder's work and sleeve drawings
- As-built models for handover to facility management
Projects we can support include:
- High-rise residential and hotel towers
- Malls, offices and mixed-use podiums
- Villas and townhouse communities
- Hospitals, schools and government buildings
- Warehouses and logistics parks in Jebel Ali, Dubai South and KIZAD
UAE codes and authority requirements
- Dubai Building Code and Dubai Municipality submission requirements
- UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice (Civil Defence)
- DEWA / ADDC / SEWA requirements for electrical and water services
- Al Sa'fat (Dubai green building) and Estidama (Abu Dhabi) requirements
- ASHRAE, NFPA and CIBSE references specified by the project
We apply your engineer of record's design and markups to these standards and point out anything that looks inconsistent; compliance and approvals stay with them.
Same-day coordination with the UAE
Because the time difference is only 90 minutes, we can sit in your morning coordination meeting, update the model during the day and issue revised drawings before your office closes. Urgent Civil Defence or consultant comments can usually be closed the same day.
Starting a UAE project with us
Tell us the authority (Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, Abu Dhabi DMT or another), the project stage and the deliverables, and share a typical floor. We'll return a pilot quotation within one working day. See how our BIM outsourcing works, or our pages for Saudi Arabia, USA, Australia.
Frequently asked questions
Something else you'd like to know? Ask us.
Can you prepare models for Dubai Municipality BIM submissions?
Yes. We build coordinated Revit models and drawings to your consultant's requirements for submission. Your office remains the consultant of record and makes the submission.
Do you prepare MEP shop drawings for UAE contractors?
Yes. We produce coordinated MEP and fire protection shop drawings, combined services drawings and builder's work drawings from the consultant's design, ready for your review and submission.
How quickly can you respond to comments?
UAE working hours overlap with ours for almost the whole day, so most comments can be addressed the same day, and larger revisions by the next morning.
