تكاليف المراجعات والتعديلات المتكررة (Revision & Rework Cost Overruns)
Definition
The permit application process requires submission of 8+ compliance documents (architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, thermal insulation, drainage, Civil Defense, soil reports). Manual preparation by consultants creates high risk of incompleteness or non-compliance with Dubai Building Code standards. When Dubai Municipality identifies deficiencies, the entire package must be re-reviewed by the consultant, amended, and resubmitted—consuming 1–3 additional weeks per revision cycle. Typical projects experience 1–3 revision cycles, each costing AED 2,000–5,000 in consultant fees.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AED 10,000–30,000 per project in consultant rework fees (1–3 revisions × AED 2,000–10,000 per revision). Additional 2–6 weeks of project delay cost.
- Frequency: Estimated 40–60% of projects experience at least one mandatory revision cycle based on cited compliance issues
- Root Cause: Manual document preparation without pre-validation + complexity of multi-disciplinary drawings (MEP, structural, civil defense) + consultant time constraints leading to incomplete initial submissions + lack of real-time BPS compliance checking
