Frequently Asked Questions
What are Architect of Record (AoR) services?
+
Architect of Record (AoR) services cover the code-compliant delivery of architectural design, technical documentation, and authority submissions required to legally build a project. At Stonehaven, our AoR consultants prepare, stamp, and file drawings; coordinate with UAE authorities (DM, ADM, DDA, Trakhees, DCD) and other GCC municipalities; and ensure the design aligns with local regulations, client requirements, and project objectives through to permit issuance and completion certificates.
How do you ensure compliance and quality in AoR projects?
+
We build compliance into every stage: code reviews (UAE codes, SBC/IBC, NFPA), life-safety strategies, and discipline coordination before submission. Our QA/QC process covers drawing checks, specification alignment, and authority pre-screens to minimise comments. During approvals, we manage revisions, track responses, and close authority queries; during construction, we review shop drawings and RFIs for code alignment—assuring the as-built works match the approved permit set.
What support does Stonehaven provide during AoR projects?
+
End-to-end. We handle permit strategy, prepare and submit compliance-ready drawings, coordinate multi-discipline inputs, and manage authority comments to approval. During construction, we review shop drawings and materials, respond to RFIs, attend inspections, monitor conformity with the approved set, and support authority/site sign-offs through to completion certificates and handover documentation.
What are the industries served by Stonehaven’s AoR expertise?
+
We support residential and mixed-use towers, commercial offices, retail and F&B, hospitality, industrial and logistics assets, data centres, and complex fit-outs interfacing with infrastructure providers. Our AoR teams adapt code pathways and permit strategies to each asset type to accelerate approvals while protecting life safety, accessibility, sustainability targets, and long-term operability.
What is the role of the Architect of Record?
+
The AoR is the licensed entity accountable for statutory compliance and authority approvals. Practically, this includes preparing, stamping, and submitting drawings; coordinating disciplines to meet local codes; leading authority correspondence and revisions; and administering construction for compliance (shop drawing/material reviews, RFIs, inspections). The AoR confirms the built work matches the approved design and supports final sign-offs and completion certificates with authorities and service providers.
