Need Advice on Pre Engineered Steel Building Approvals in Dubai

I'm planning a warehouse project in Dubai Industrial City and considering a pre engineered steel building UAE solution for faster construction. The timeline is tight, and I've heard these structures can be erected much quicker than traditional methods.My main concern is navigating the approval process with Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence. Does anyone have recent experience with permit timelines for metal buildings? I'm particularly curious about structural engineer licensing requirements—do they need specific UAE credentials, or will international certifications suffice?Also wondering about insulation requirements given our summer temperatures. Standard international specs seem inadequate for 50°C heat. Has anyone dealt with thermal performance compliance recently? The last thing I need is failing inspections halfway through construction because insulation doesn't meet local energy codes.Any insights on realistic approval timelines and common pitfalls would be massively helpful before I commit to this approach.
