Concordia Approvals in Dubai
Concordia is the integrated facilities and community services company set up in 2007 as a joint venture between the DMCC Authority and EMCOR Facilities Services. It manages buildings and communities across Dubai, and its approval is needed before fit-out, modification or MEP work starts in a building it manages. SBM Contracting prepares and manages your Concordia approvals, from the first submission to the final sign-off.

Requirements depend on the building and scope of work, but typically include the owner or tenant NOC, trade licences, contractor details, the scope of work, architectural and MEP drawings, a method statement and programme, and insurance documents. We confirm the exact checklist with building management before submitting.
The usual steps are application and document submission, technical review of the drawings, approval with any conditions, work permits and access arrangements, inspections during the works, and a final inspection before handover.
