Work that stands in Qatar today.
A selection of buildings we designed, got approved or drew as built.
One team answers for the whole drawing set.
- Design
Architects and engineers work in the same office on the same set, so the structure fits the plan and the services fit the ceiling.
- Coordination
Drawings are checked against each authority's requirements before they are submitted, not after they are returned.
- Accountability
You deal with one consultancy from first sketch to issued permit. When an authority comments, we answer it.
Plain answers on permits and approvals in Qatar.
Written by our engineers for owners, tenants and contractors.
Do I need a consultant to get a building permit in Qatar?
Yes. Building permit drawings in Qatar are prepared, stamped and submitted by a licensed engineering consultancy. An owner cannot submit drawings directly. We prepare the drawings, submit them and answer the authority's comments until the permit is issued.
When do I need as-built drawings in Qatar?
Most often for a building completion certificate, for a permit to modify or extend an existing building, when the original drawings are missing, when a landlord or tower management asks a tenant for them, and when a building is sold, leased or handed over to a facility manager.
Which authorities are involved in a building approval?
The Ministry of Municipality issues the building permit. Depending on the building, the drawings are also reviewed by Qatar Civil Defence for fire and life safety, Kahramaa for electricity and water, Ashghal for drainage and roads, and Ooredoo or Vodafone for telecom. We handle every one of them.
What do you need from me to start?
A copy of the title deed and plot plan, the owner's ID or company documents, and a description of what you want to build. We confirm the full list at the first meeting.
Start with the plot. Finish with the permit.
An engineer will get back to you. The first consultation is free.
