The role of Architect of Record carries professional and legal accountability for the design of a building. In the UAE, authorities require a licensed, locally registered architect to stamp and take responsibility for all building permit drawings. Das And Partners provides licensed Architect of Record services across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah, offering clients a single point of professional accountability for their projects.
Our registered architects provide the professional stamp and certification required by UAE municipalities and authorities for building permit applications. We review all design documentation for code compliance, coordinate with the design team to resolve any non-compliant items, and formally certify drawings for submission. Our professional registration covers Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and all major UAE authority jurisdictions.
UAE building regulations are complex, encompassing municipality standards, Civil Defense fire safety requirements, ESMA regulations, and utility authority guidelines. Our architects systematically review designs against all applicable codes and standards, identifying compliance issues before submission and advising the design team on solutions. This proactive approach dramatically reduces the number of authority comments and resubmissions.
As Architect of Record, we maintain professional accountability throughout the construction phase. We review contractor shop drawings and submittals for conformance with the design, respond to requests for information from the site, issue architectural instructions for design clarifications, and perform periodic site inspections to verify that construction reflects the approved design intent.
The completion of a construction project requires the Architect of Record to certify that the building has been constructed in accordance with approved drawings. We manage the final inspection process, coordinate with Civil Defense, municipality, and utility authorities for final approvals, and assist clients in obtaining all certificates required for occupancy and handover.
Selecting the right Architect of Record is critical to the smooth progress of a project. The AOR must be technically capable, professionally registered with the relevant authorities, and experienced in navigating the specific requirements of each UAE municipality. Das And Partners brings 25+ years of authority approval experience and professional registrations across all major UAE jurisdictions.
Our long-standing relationships with municipality officials, plan examiners, and authority staff across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah enable us to navigate the approval process efficiently. We understand each authority's specific requirements, submission formats, and review processes, allowing us to anticipate and resolve issues before they cause delays.
When the Architect of Record is also the design consultancy, the professional stamp is backed by genuine design ownership. Our architects are not merely certifying drawings produced by others — they understand every aspect of the design and can provide authoritative responses to authority comments, contractor queries, and client requests.
Modern buildings require coordination between architecture, structure, MEP, fire safety, and specialist systems. Our Architect of Record services are integrated with our full-service engineering capability, ensuring that all discipline designs are coordinated before submission and that the certified package is a genuinely integrated, constructible set of documents.
