Electrical Drawings and Load Schedules for DEWA Submissions
Most DEWA comments come back to the drawings: a load schedule that does not add up, an SLD that does not match the panel, or a missing maximum demand calculation. Clear, consistent drawings are the fastest route through approval.
As a DEWA approved contractor in Dubai, we prepare electrical drawings and calculations to DEWA's requirements, either as part of a full approval or as a drawing-only service for consultants and contractors.
Who this is for
- Contractors who need drawings for a DEWA or fit-out submission
- Consultants who want drafting and calculation support
- Owners who need as-built drawings for an existing installation
- Projects returned by DEWA with design comments
What we handle
- Single line diagrams with LV distribution and metering
- MDB and SMDB load schedules with connected load and maximum demand
- Cable sizing and voltage drop calculations
- Lighting, power and small power layouts
- LV room and panel arrangement drawings
- As-built drawings for existing installations
How the process works
- Brief and inputsWe collect architectural plans, equipment lists and any existing drawings.
- CalculationsLoad, maximum demand, cable sizes and voltage drop are calculated.
- DraftingSLDs, schedules and layouts are drawn so every figure matches across the set.
- ReviewYou review the set and we update it before it is submitted.
- Comment responseIf DEWA or the landlord comments, we revise the drawings and resubmit.
Documents checklist
Have these ready, or send what you have and we will tell you what is missing.
- Architectural floor plans (CAD preferred)
- Equipment list with ratings, including HVAC and kitchen equipment
- Existing SLD and panel photographs for modifications
- Any DEWA or landlord comments already received
How long does it take?
Drawing time depends on the size of the project and the quality of the inputs. Having CAD plans and a complete equipment list at the start makes the biggest difference.
