Fire AMC for Fit Out Units in Dubai

The fit out is finished and the keys are in your hand. Your fire duties continue. The alarm, extinguishers, and emergency lights must keep working. A fire AMC keeps them checked all year.

Pacific Power is a Dubai Civil Defence approved fire contractor. We have completed over 1500 projects, including fit out units. This guide is for tenants and fit out managers after handover. It covers maintenance only. For approval steps, read fire safety requirements for fit out in Dubai.

Why Does a Fit Out Unit Need an AMC?

A new fit out has new walls and ceilings. The fire equipment must work in that new layout. Small changes later can upset it. A shelf blocks a head. A detector gets covered. An extinguisher moves.

An AMC checks the unit on a schedule. It also starts your service record on day one.

What Does a Fit Out AMC Cover?

The list follows what is installed in your unit.

• The alarm panel, detectors, call points, and sounders.
• Sprinkler heads and valves, where installed.
• Fire extinguishers and their tags.
• Emergency lights and exit signs.
• The Hassantuk link, where installed.

You tell us what the unit has. We write it into the contract.

When Should You Start the AMC?

Start at handover. A new unit has no service history. Each visit adds one dated report.

Taking over a unit from another tenant is different. The old tenant may have left faults. Your first AMC visit shows the true condition.

What Should You Check in the First Week?

Do a quick walk through before you open.

• Extinguishers are in place and tagged.
• The alarm panel shows no fault.
• Exit signs are lit and easy to see.
• Nothing blocks the exit route.
• You hold the handover documents from the fit out company.

Keep those documents in one folder. Your AMC reports will join them. Ask the landlord who handles fire matters in the building.

Which Fit Out Units Do We Maintain?

• Retail shops, where shelving moves often.
• Offices with new partitions.
• Restaurants and cafes.
• Clinics, salons, and gyms.

Each type has its own layout. We agree the visit plan around your opening hours.

What Faults Appear After a Fit Out?

• Extinguishers that arrived expired or were never tagged.
• Stock stored in front of extinguishers and exits.
• Alarm devices that do not match later layout changes.
• No service record since handover.

Our guide on why fit out approvals get rejected shows related problems.

How Do Extinguishers and Records Fit In?

Extinguishers are the item most often found out of date. We read the tag and the gauge at each visit. Our extinguisher refilling and supply service handles refills and replacements. Read the extinguisher requirements for commercial fit outs to see which units you need.

Your landlord or the authority may ask for service reports. See the DCD Istifa certificate guide for the wider picture.

What Changes the Price?

• The size of the unit.
• The number of detectors and extinguishers.
• Whether sprinklers are installed.
• The visit count you choose.
