DIFC Approval Questions
Why is DIFC fit-out approval distinct from Dubai Municipality?
DIFC is an independent financial free zone with its own planning and building authority (DIFC Authority), enforcing strict commercial, acoustic, and aesthetic guidelines.
What working hours are permitted for fit-outs in DIFC towers?
Noisy MEP works (drilling, core cutting) are typically restricted to out-of-office hours (nights and weekends) to avoid disturbing operational financial institutions.
How quickly can PowerCraft MEP obtain a DIFC fit-out NOC?
DIFC Authority review standard turnaround is 5 to 7 working days upon submission of compliant MEP drawings.
