Carpentry & Stairs Inspection Services in Dubai

Dubai's building code specifies exact riser height, tread depth, and handrail dimensions for a reason — a staircase even a few millimeters outside tolerance is a real fall risk. We measure against the code, not a guess.

Why It's Important

Stairs Are One of the Most Code-Regulated Elements in Any Building

Loose steps, weak joints, and non-compliant handrails cause more serious accidents than almost any other single defect category — and most of it is invisible until you measure it.

The Standard We Inspect Against

Dubai’s building code sets riser height at a maximum of 176mm and tread depth between 300–340mm, with no more than ±4mm variation between steps in the same flight — the single biggest cause of stair falls when it’s off. Guardrails on balconies and open sides must be at least 1200mm high, and handrails should sit at 900mm with a 300mm horizontal extension at both ends.
 
We’ve also measured exterior stainless steel handrails exceeding 75°C in direct summer sun in Dubai — a real burn risk we flag on outdoor staircases that most inspections miss entirely.

Our staircase risers were 3mm out of tolerance step to step — didn't feel like much until they measured it and explained the fall risk. Contractor fixed it before handover.

The outdoor handrail on our villa's exterior stairs was getting dangerously hot in summer — never occurred to us until Dubshy flagged it.

Cabinet hinges throughout the kitchen were poorly fixed and already sagging. Report was clear enough to take straight to the developer.
