Mandatory certifications driving demand

The UAE has the most advanced mandatory green building requirements in the Gulf. Abu Dhabi requires Estidama Pearl rating for all new construction — minimum 1 Pearl for private development, 2 Pearl for government projects. Dubai mandates Al Sa'fat certification with Silver as the baseline for new buildings.

These are not voluntary aspirations. They are legal requirements enforced at permitting stage. ISG navigates both systems, along with voluntary LEED certification for projects targeting international recognition.
