التأخيرات اليدوية وحلقات الانتظار في معالجة الطلبات (Manual Processing Bottlenecks & Queue Delays)
Definition
The current BPS process involves: (1) Consultant manually prepares documents offline, (2) Logs into BPS portal and uploads files, (3) Waits for municipal review (10–20 working days, checking portal manually every few days), (4) Receives revision request, downloads feedback, (5) Contacts architect/engineer to make changes, (6) Re-uploads revised documents, (7) Waits for approval (another 10–20 days), (8) Manually follows up with DEWA and Civil Defence for their NOCs via separate portals/emails, (9) Submits final package. Each follow-up, recheck, and status query consumes 1–3 hours. Consultants report 20–40 hours of manual effort per project.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AED 5,000–15,000 per project in consultant labor cost (20–40 hours × AED 250–400/hour standard consulting rate). Opportunity cost: consultants could serve 2–3 additional projects annually if manual overhead were eliminated.
- Frequency: 100% of projects; affects all consultants managing multiple concurrent permits
- Root Cause: Sequential BPS workflow requiring manual status checks; separate portals for different authorities (DEWA, Civil Defence, Etisalat) with no integrated tracking; lack of automated notification system when reviews are complete or revisions are requested
