Statutory Authority Fee Clarification: The engineering fees above cover technical survey, certified drawing preparation, AutoCAD modeling, and portal submission. Official statutory fees (e.g. DEWA security deposits, connection charges per kW, municipal inspection fees) are set by the Government of Dubai and invoiced directly to the property account.
What Factors Determine Your Final Quotation?
Every commercial space has unique structural and electrical parameters that affect execution scope.
Connected Load (kW / Amperage)
Higher capacity installations require larger copper busbars, CT metering cubicles, and heavier armored cables.
Physical Cable Run Distance
The length of conduit pathways between the building intake pillar and your unit distribution board directly dictates cable and GI tray costs.
Substation vs Building Feeder Capacity
If existing transformer capacity supports your scope, engineering fees are minimal. If a DEWA transformer upgrade is required, statutory utility capital fees apply.
Mall & Night-Shift Restrictions
Projects executed inside major shopping malls (The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates) require acoustic lagging, dust partitions, and overnight labor scheduling.
