Short: new-build dossiers converge on coordinated discipline depth; alterations emphasize baseline vs delta; expansions hinge on zoning/envelope deltas; interiors may route elsewhere—verify catalogue.
Step ladder
- Slot your project BEFORE searching service labels: virgin plot / retrofit / major footprint add / maybe minor-works-eligible scopes (orientation).
- Copy the authoritative service title from TAMM/Binaa UI into internal trackers—do not drift to colloquial names.
- Release coordinated uploads; avoid sequential “arch first, disciplines later forever” submissions that restart clocks.
WHO DOES WHAT?
| Owner | Consultant | Contractor |
|---|
| Signatures, UAEPASS, vendor choice, guardrails. | Drawings, uploads, deterministic responses. | Typically post permit/award; early join only where allowed. |
Typical slips
- Falsely assuming “minor lane” eligibility.
- Retrofits without lineage.
- Kitchen-sink uploads without roadmap.
Tips
- Keep permit reference numbers pinned to TMS rows.
- Separate “awaiting municipality” vs “awaiting FAB” statuses.
