Our (AoR) Services
Stonehaven acts as the Architect of Record (AOR) for engineering-led projects across the UAE, providing the architectural compliance, regulatory oversight, and submission coordination required for building permit approvals. Our services support engineers and design-build contractors who require a licensed local partner to ensure alignment with authority standards.
Engineering projects must be supported by a registered Architect of Record to achieve compliance with local regulations. Whether structural, MEP, or infrastructure-driven, all submissions require architectural validation, zoning coordination, and building code alignment. Stonehaven helps you meet authority requirements and reduce the risk of rejections or design misalignment.

We work alongside engineering teams to validate IFC packages, coordinate with MEP and structural consultants, and lead compliance submissions to local authorities. Our team ensures engineering documentation is translated into regulation-ready architecture.
We act as your architectural partner in the approval process. As a trusted AOR consultancy in the UAE, we bring deep knowledge of local authority standards, zoning policies, and submission workflows.
