Bonarch Draft prepares permit drawings in Dubai and construction document sets for architecture firms, consultancies and fit-out contractors, under your title block for your registered consultant to stamp and submit. Sets run USD 85–140 per A1 sheet in AutoCAD or USD 120–210 in Revit; a small fit-out permit set takes 1–2 weeks and a villa set 3–8 weeks, not counting authority review.
A permit set proves to the authority that the design complies with the regulations. A CD set shows the contractor exactly what to build.
Structural and MEP sheets come from your consultants. We coordinate them against the architecture and run clash checks; see our MEP coordination service.
Your consultant submits to the authority that governs the site: Dubai Municipality for most projects in the city, DDA for free zones such as Dubai Design District, Trakhees for Jebel Ali and the ports, Dubai Civil Defence for fire and life safety, and master developers such as Nakheel and Emaar where they run their own approvals. We prepare the set to the requirements your consultant specifies for that submission.
Most projects start from your finished design. On projects still in design, we can work alongside your design team through design development, producing the drawings and the model as the design evolves and is corrected.
Typical production times (authority review time is not included):
Priced per sheet: USD 85–140 per A1 sheet in AutoCAD and USD 120–210 in Revit, depending on the package. We fix the final price once we see your sheet list.
Bonarch Draft is based in Toronto, and our production team works from the Middle East, on Dubai hours, so replies and progress updates reach you during your working day.
In milestones. You pay after you approve each milestone, and on Standard and Premium packages you get your money back at any milestone if the work isn't right.
Yes, if you need it. Most clients send us their own design and we draft and model from it, but we can also take on the design itself, from concept to construction drawings.
No. We prepare the set under your or your consultant's title block. Your registered consultant reviews, stamps, signs and submits it. Bonarch never submits drawings to an authority directly.
Yes. We know how permit sets are structured for Dubai Municipality, DDA, Trakhees and Dubai Civil Defence, and we follow the specific requirements your consultant sets for each submission.
We answer each comment point by point in a response letter, cloud the changes on the drawings, update the revision table and reissue the set to your consultant for resubmission.
A small fit-out permit set takes 1 to 2 weeks, a villa permit or CD set 3 to 8 weeks, and larger projects 2 to 4 months. Authority review time is not included.
Usually your finished design. On projects still in design, we can work alongside your design team through design development, producing the drawings and model as the design evolves.
Yes. We work inside your own templates, title blocks, naming conventions and sheet structure, so the set reads like it came from your office.
Yes. We deliver the native Revit model with all families embedded, the sheets in PDF and DWG, and the schedules, so your team can keep working on the set after handover.
We don't produce structural or MEP drawings. We coordinate your consultants' drawings against the architecture and run clash checks. Our core is architecture, plus interior and fit-out.
