You have probably been told conflicting things by contractors about contracts, licensing, and what servicing frequency is legally required. Here are direct answers to the questions we hear most from people managing buildings in Dubai, with no sales gloss.
Straight answers on Dubai building maintenance: AMC contracts, emergency callouts, AC servicing frequency, contractor licensing, and how pricing works.
What we check: how buildings currently arrange maintenance before they call us. What we find: the most common regret is signing an AMC that listed visits but not inclusions, leading to disputes over every part and consumable. What we do: answer contract questions in writing before signing, including what is included, what is billable, and what response times apply. Scheduled visits are set by equipment runtime, which in Dubai's climate usually means more frequent attention than generic manuals suggest. If a question is not covered here, ask it directly and we will answer in writing.
What we check: the paperwork a building needs to keep, from gas handling records to electrical sign-offs. What we find: many buildings cannot produce maintenance records when asked, because previous work was never documented. What we do: provide licence details with quotations, issue dated and photographed reports for every job, and keep records that support insurance claims and owners association reviews. Electrical and refrigerant work is performed by qualified personnel under our licence. If your current contractor cannot produce equivalent records, that gap is worth closing before an audit finds it.
What we check: how calls typically start, which is usually a question about price or urgency. What we find: callers want to know two things, what it will cost and how fast someone will come. What we do: answer both plainly. Pricing starts with a refundable AED 200 inspection and ends in a fixed written quotation. Emergencies are attended same day, prioritised by risk, with isolation steps explained by phone while you wait. No invented numbers, no vague windows.

Straight answers, before you book.
For most occupied buildings, two full technical services a year plus more frequent filter checks in dusty conditions. Systems here run most of the year, so intervals should follow runtime rather than generic calendars. We set the schedule after surveying your actual equipment.
Ask for their trade licence number, confirm technicians are directly employed rather than subcontracted, and request a sample service report. Any hesitation on documentation is a warning sign, because the paperwork is what protects you in disputes and audits.
Yes. We serve individual owners and tenants as well as facility managers running entire towers. Unit-level work uses the same technicians, the same documentation, and the same fixed-quotation process as contract building work.
An emergency callout makes a situation safe and stops active damage, attended same day and prioritised by risk. A scheduled repair is the permanent fix, quoted in writing and approved before work begins. Emergency rates differ from scheduled rates and are always stated before attendance.
