Why Dubai operations outgrow generic lift tracking

Dubai Municipality maintains Technical Guideline 48 for lifts and hoists, defining statutory examination and certification cycles, across a building stock topping 201,000 with over 15,800 multi-storey buildings. Generic tracking cannot hold statutory cycles, callout response, and certificate evidence together across a lift portfolio.

Statutory exam cycles tracked manually

Lift statutory examinations run on fixed cycles under Guideline 48. Tracked by hand across a portfolio, units fall out of certification unnoticed.

Callout and entrapment response not measured

Lift callout and entrapment response time is a safety and SLA metric; without it in the system, response performance is invisible.

Certificates scattered

Examination certificates live across email and folders, so proving a unit's current certification status takes a manual search.

Maintenance contractor performance opaque

Lift maintenance is typically contracted; without per-unit history, contractor performance and recurring faults are not visible.

Lift software built for the Dubai statutory reality

Four capability areas designed around the statutory, response-bound, certificate-driven reality of Dubai lift maintenance.

Statutory examination scheduling

Guideline 48 examination cycles modelled per unit and surfaced ahead of due dates so no lift falls out of certification.

Callout and entrapment response

Callout and entrapment response measured per unit against safety and SLA targets, with breach risk surfaced.

Certificate register

Every examination certificate held against its unit so certification status is provable instantly, not searched for.

Contractor performance per unit

Per-unit maintenance history makes contractor performance and recurring faults visible across the portfolio.

Guideline 48

Dubai Municipality Guideline 48 sets lift statutory examination and certification cycles. A lift system that does not enforce them lets units run out of certification silently.

Talk to Us

Talk to us about lift maintenance software.

A short call surfaces whether a custom build makes sense for your operation. Best positioned for Dubai FM operations and building owners with a multi-unit lift and escalator portfolio. Working with your technical, compliance, and operations teams during discovery, we map current systems, regulatory and SLA workflow, and where a custom layer adds value. If discovery shows the problem is process rather than software, we say so. BY BANKS is an independent software engineering company: we design and build the platform and hand it over, your team operates it. Regulator, authority, and product names on this page are referenced descriptively to describe interoperability and scope, and imply no affiliation, endorsement, certification, or approval.

How lift maintenance software works for Dubai operations

The detail behind the headline - from statutory examination scheduling and response measurement, through the certificate register, to contractor performance.

What changes, in practical terms

Before Running lift maintenance on generic tracking
Statutory cycles tracked by hand.
Callout and entrapment response not measured.
Certificates scattered across email.
Contractor performance opaque.
Units fall out of certification unnoticed.
After Running it on a statutory-grade lift layer
Guideline 48 cycles surfaced ahead of due dates.
Response measured per unit against targets.
Certificate provable instantly per unit.
Contractor performance visible.
No unit out of certification silently.
Provable instantly

Lift certification status should be one click, not a folder search. The system has to prove every unit's status the moment it is asked.

The detailed questions Dubai operations ask us

Expand each to see how a custom layer actually works.

What does lift maintenance software for Dubai actually cover?

Who this is for: Dubai FM operations and building owners with a multi-unit lift and escalator portfolio. Less suited to a single lift. Custom software is where Guideline 48 statutory cycles, response measurement, and certificate control justify a bespoke layer.

Four connected areas: (1) statutory examination scheduling, (2) callout and entrapment response, (3) certificate register, and (4) contractor performance per unit.

Does it replace our CAFM or the lift contractor's system?

No. Your CAFM such as Facilio, MRI Evolution, eFACiLiTY, and Planon keeps its role and the lift contractor keeps theirs. The custom layer gives the building owner or FM operator the statutory, response and certificate oversight neither fully provides, and complements Dubai Civil Defence (Hassantuk), Dubai Land Department and RERA (Mollak), Dubai Municipality (Al Sa'fat, technical guidelines for lifts and pressure vessels), and DEWA / Etihad ESCO.

How does statutory examination scheduling work?

Guideline 48 examination cycles are modelled per unit and surfaced ahead of due dates, so no lift in the portfolio falls out of certification unnoticed.

How is callout and entrapment response measured?

Callout and entrapment response is measured per unit against safety and SLA targets, with breach risk surfaced rather than discovered after an incident.

How does the certificate register work?

Every examination certificate is held against its unit so certification status is provable instantly for any unit at any time. This gives your team a continuous, inspection-ready evidence trail. Maintaining regulatory compliance remains the provider's responsibility - the software supports it, it does not assume it.

Can it run across a multi-unit portfolio?

Yes. Statutory cycles, response, certificates and contractor performance are tracked per unit and consolidated across the portfolio.

What does this sit alongside in a typical Dubai FM stack?

A custom lift-maintenance layer sits inside a wider UAE FM technology stack.

Core FM platforms - sits alongside CAFM and IWMS platforms used in the UAE such as Facilio, MRI Evolution, eFACiLiTY, and Planon.

Asset and field service - integrates with EAM systems such as IBM Maximo, SAP S/4HANA Asset Management, and IFS Cloud EAM and field-service platforms such as Dynamics 365 Field Service and MRI Evolution GO.

Building, property and compliance - integrates with building-management platforms such as Honeywell Forge, Siemens Desigo CC, Schneider EcoStruxure Building, and Johnson Controls OpenBlue, property and service-charge systems such as Yardi Voyager and ADDA (Mollak-linked owners-association and service-charge systems), and HSE and permit-to-work systems such as Novade HSE and EcoOnline ePermits; complements Dubai Civil Defence (Hassantuk), Dubai Land Department and RERA (Mollak), Dubai Municipality (Al Sa'fat, technical guidelines for lifts and pressure vessels), and DEWA / Etihad ESCO.

Enterprise - integrates with SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance for finance.

Integration approach is scoped during discovery based on what the operation is already running. We don't ask anyone to rip and replace systems that work.

How long to go live, and what does it cost?

Discovery runs four to six weeks. Working with your technical, compliance, and operations teams, we map current systems, lift statutory cycles, response targets, and certificate practice, and integration scope. Output is a detailed report with current-state map, architecture, integration scope, phased plan, and a fixed-price build proposal.

Core build runs ten to fourteen weeks from discovery completion. Full rollout phases in over six to twelve months depending on scope and integration breadth.

Pricing varies by scope, integration breadth, and complexity. A bracket isn't published; discovery produces a fixed-price proposal with no obligation to proceed.

How each role experiences the change

Different roles feel different problems here. The platform works when it reduces friction for each one.

FM / Building Owner

Lift compliance and response visible across the portfolio. No silent certification lapse.

Compliance Lead

Guideline 48 cycles enforced, certificates provable instantly. Compliance supported, not assumed.

Technical / Contract Managers

Contractor performance and recurring faults visible per unit.

Risk / Insurance

Response and certification evidence continuous, reducing exposure.
