Our Story

From Family Legacy to Dubai's Trusted Partner

Gravity Engineering Consultancy was founded in 2023 by Ahmed M Hanafi, building on over 25 years of Dubai Municipality expertise established through his father's renowned firm. What began as a family legacy of architectural excellence has evolved into one of Dubai's most trusted approval and Architect of Record (AOR) services.

With deep understanding of Dubai's regulatory landscape and relationships built over two decades, we've helped hundreds of businesses and homeowners navigate the complex approval process with confidence. From prestigious beachfront venues like O Beach Dubai to iconic entertainment destinations like House of Hype in Dubai Mall, our expertise spans every sector and authority.

We believe in transparent pricing, honest timelines, and personal service. Every client works directly with our senior engineers—not ticket numbers or offshore teams. Our success is measured not just in approvals granted, but in the lasting partnerships we build and the trust we earn project after project.

"Our mission is simple: to be the engineering partner Dubai's businesses trust most. Every approval we secure, every project we complete, strengthens that trust."
