A building-wide failure, caught before it was ever submitted.
The challenge: catch issues before they multiply across eleven floors.
In large residential developments, issues rarely appear once. A single unaddressed condition — a door 95 mm too narrow — repeats across every typical floor, every unit stack, and every coordinated discipline. The cost of correcting it compounds the later it is found.
The team behind Abu Dhabi Raha Residential brought Carbaba in at the detailed-design stage of the G+11 residential tower. The drawings were weeks from their first municipality submission. The stakes were the usual ones at that point: a single municipality comment triggers a resubmission cycle measured in weeks — and the developer, not the consultant, carries the cost of every one, against fixed handover and sales-launch dates.
The objective was simple — test the detailed-design drawings against ADIBC and the client's own submission expectations before filing, when a change still costs a drawing revision instead of a programme.
500+ checks per floor. One systemic failure caught.
Two typical floors, reviewed concurrently inside a single 48-hour window, against the ADIBC requirements that apply to a Group R-2, Type I-B high-rise — interior dimensions, egress, accessibility, fire, ventilation, setbacks, plumbing.

Not a guess. Not a black box. A traceable measurement.
Every Carbaba verdict can be reconstructed end to end. Here is the full chain for this finding.
The engine cross-checks itself. Identical unit types on a floor must measure within 1% of each other, and the sum of room areas must reconcile with the floor envelope. A bug shows up as a mismatch, not a silent wrong answer.
Three outcomes that protected the programme and the budget.
Surfaced before the first municipality filing, with the measured value, the threshold, and the exact clause.
Down from a 2+ week manual internal review. Two typical floors reviewed concurrently, both delivered in the same window.
The fix landed in design, so the package was clean on first submission. A rejection-and-resubmission delay avoided; programme and sales-launch dates held.
This wasn't a one-off. It's the pattern.
Systemic, repeating, geometric deviations are exactly what survive human review and surface as municipality comments — a door leaf, a corridor width, a setback, replicated up a unit stack until someone catches it. Carbaba is built to catch that class of issue on every floor, every time, before it compounds.
