Types of Office Fit-Out Solutions
We provide scalable construction solutions tailored to the current state of your commercial real estate and the specific operational requirements of your business.
Shell & Core Fit-Outs
Starting from raw concrete. We install the entire foundational infrastructure, including raised flooring systems, main AC ducting, and primary electrical distribution boards before applying the final aesthetic finishes.
Category B (Cat B) Fit-Outs
Customizing a basic landlord space. We build the physical architecture of your brand, erecting fire-rated partitions, installing custom glass boardrooms, and routing localized IT data cables to every workstation.
Live Environment Renovations
For businesses that cannot stop working. We execute phased corporate office renovation projects, performing disruptive and noisy structural work during evenings and weekends.
Dilapidation & Strip-Outs
When your lease ends, we rapidly strip the office back to its original Cat A condition, removing partitions and capping MEP services to ensure you recover your landlord security deposit.
Our Flawless Fit-Out Execution Process
Corporate construction requires a militaristic approach to project management. Our methodology guarantees rapid deployment and absolute adherence to UAE building codes.
- Technical Site Survey: Our engineers inspect the existing HVAC load capacities, electrical panel ratings, and fire‑safety sprinkler grids to ensure your design is technically viable.
- Authority Approvals (NOCs): We manage the bureaucracy. Our team submits the necessary MEP and architectural drawings to secure immediate approvals from Dubai Municipality, Dubai Civil Defence (DCD), and Free Zone authorities (e.g., TECOM, JAFZA).
- First Fix (MEP Integration): Before walls are closed, our MEP services division routes miles of copper piping, Cat6a data cabling, and HVAC ducting safely within the ceiling bulkheads and floor voids.
- Second Fix & Joinery: We install acoustic drywall, glass partitions, and bring in bespoke custom office furniture manufactured in our own UAE facility.
- Testing & Handover: We balance the AC airflow, test the IT network speeds, and undergo final DCD fire inspections. After a deep industrial clean, we hand over the keys.
