Estidama Villa Products Database
The Estidama Villa Products Database (EVPD) is a database of products that have been determined to be compliant with the Pearl Villa Rating System (PVRS) requirements. It has been created to help villa owners, consultants, contractors, assessors and other relevant stakeholders to successfully implement the PVRS.
Listing products in the EVPD is voluntary, and is open to manufacturers and distributors. Each product undergoes a thorough review from the UPC's Estidama team, prior to posting on the website. This list is likely to be updated on a monthly basis for the first three months, then every quarter, at the discretion of the UPC.
The database is constructed as a category based list of products which meet the standards identified in the PVRS but also contains other valuable information such as marketing overview and sales contacts.
Below you can search for the EVPD products presented on The Future Build. Additional products can be found on Estidama website.

Who is the EVPD for?
The EVPD will be accessible by all who are involved in villa projects in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, including but not limited to villa owners, consultants, contractors, assessors, municipality inspectors, etc.
How has the EVPD been developed?
The UPC has hosted workshops for local manufacturers and distributors to outline the technical requirements and documentation that must be supplied to have their products included in the database.
The UPC reviews the documentation and holds additional face to face clarification meetings to ensure that the products submitted are compliant with PVRS requirements.
Workshops will also be scheduled for assessors, building owners and consultants to explain how the database is to be used.
If a product is on the EVPD, does this mean it is "certified" by Estidama?
No, a product included in this database does not mean it is "certified", "approved" or "endorsed" by Estidama or the UPC. It only means that aspects of their technical performance have been deemed to be technically compliant with the particular requirements outlined in the PVRS. No other performance criteria have been assessed in relation to the products.
