Our method statement for fit out works for proposed interior works, outlines our approach to our intended implementation of typical Interior fit outs and is generic to our approach to all our interior works. We have provided key elements within the table of contents, which are detailed further in our statement and provide the necessary information about our general and specific approach to most types of interior works, namely Offices, Retail and Leisure / Hospitality projects.
We are experienced in implementation of works within all the statutory precincts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, e.g., Dubai / AD Municipality, and are aware of all procedures and approval processes in implementation of works within Municipalities designated zones, as well as Civil Defence. We have extensive experience in obtaining approvals associated with these designated authorities and confirm that we are completely familiar with AD/DM/CD procedures which will be described within the procedures and methodology section of this method statement.
We also welcome site visits to any of our previous projects and we believe that our work speaks for itself. Our previous and current clients are our best assets for promoting our work.
Start project
Once job awarded, statutory approvals and procurement are to commence as per approved BOQ. For any project, statutory approval is required and site works is dependent on receiving “Fit out permit” to work. Submission of drawings and approval is to be expedited. Civil Defense /Municipality approvals can be obtained whilst mobilization is in progress. We can confirm from previous experience that most Authorities will permit works to start immediately after their approval.
The following process is applicable:
Step 1: Consultant / Client issue design drawings to Contractor. In turn our Design section prepares detailed shop drawings for Architectural, Civil, and Structural Works and submit to the owner for approval. MEP drawings are done by our appointed consultants.
Step 2: Client to issue owner no objection letter, appointment letter to Blue mount well, and copy of lease.
Step 3: Blue mount well to submit Engineering drawings with owner comments addressed, for Municipality approval and pay necessary deposits, scrutiny fees etc.
Step 4: DM, AD / CD issue commented / approved drawings and issue Blue mount well l Fit out Permit to commence work.
Step 5: Blue mount well to commence drawing submittals for Consultant/Clients approval. Samples of typical panels are submitted to the consultant for review where necessary.
Step 6: Samples of materials color and finishes etc. are submitted to the consultant/client for approval. Identical samples are held by our “Quality Control Section”. Sample unit remain on site and in our factory as a standard for both manufacture and installation work.
Step 7: Manufacturers’ product date is submitted for each item as required by the Consultant to verify evidence of compliance.
The above process normally takes 2 to 3 weeks.
