Submission to the Authority
The prepared documents are formally submitted to the relevant authority for review. This may include architectural layouts, fit-out drawings, MEP submissions, NOCs, and required forms depending on the approval scope.
Authority Review & Comments
Authorities review the submission and may issue comments or revision requests. Any required changes must be addressed to ensure full compliance with regulations and standards.
Resubmission & Compliance Confirmation
Revised documents are resubmitted after addressing authority comments. This step may repeat until all compliance requirements are satisfied and the submission is approved.
