Dubai Municipality has introduced new construction evaluation standards designed to enhance oversight, transparency, and promote sustainable as well as smart building practices. These updated standards are planned to take effect at the beginning of 2026.
As part of this significant industry reform, the authority has suspended two engineering consultancy firms for failing to comply with the revised requirements. This suspension reflects Dubai’s strong commitment to elevating the safety and quality within its construction sector.
Key Aspects of the New Evaluation Standards
- Improved regulatory oversight for construction projects

This regulatory initiative supports Dubai’s broader vision of implementing smarter and greener infrastructure solutions, impacting all stakeholders involved in construction projects across the city.
