Engineering approvals for JAFZA
JAFZA is the Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai's largest industrial and logistics free zone, governed by its own Engineering Department rather than Dubai Municipality. JAFZA prices a standard fit-out or office partition at AED 2,000-8,000 and a structural mezzanine at AED 4,000-12,000 through its own Engineering Department fee schedule. Warehouse racking systems are one of the most common JAFZA submissions, priced separately at AED 3,000-8,000 and reviewed alongside standard fit-out drawings. A JAFZA project typically also needs a parallel Civil Defence drawing review, priced at AED 1,000-3,000 within the free zone, plus mandatory annual smart monitoring.
