Frequently asked questions

+ How long does a project like this take?

Most water monitoring projects in Dubai are scoped during a free site visit. Typical timelines range from a few days for apartments to 3–6 weeks for large villas, depending on cabling and finishing trades.

+ Does this require permission from the building or developer?

For apartments we usually only need a standard NOC. For villas, retrofits typically don't need approvals. Smart Citizens handles paperwork where required.

+ Is the system controlled from one app?

Yes. All Smart Citizens-deployed devices are unified in the Smart Citizens App, with role-based access for owner, family members and staff.

+ What happens after handover?

Every project includes onboarding, a 3-year replacement warranty on Smart Citizens devices, and an optional AMC for ongoing support and tuning.
