Our Office Design and Fit-Out Process

One team from brief to handover. You get a single accountable point of contact, fixed pricing, and a clear programme.

01

Brief and Site Survey

We start with your headcount, working style, brand, budget, and building. Our team surveys the space, checks the landlord and free zone fit-out manual, and confirms the base build condition before any design work begins.

02

Concept and 3D Design

You receive a space plan, a material and finishes concept, and photorealistic 3D visuals of the reception, open-plan, meeting rooms, and executive areas. We revise until the concept is signed off.

03

Fit-Out Drawings and Approvals

We produce the technical package: partition layouts, ceiling and lighting plans, MEP coordination, and joinery details. We submit for landlord and authority approval (Dubai Municipality, DIFC, DMCC, JAFZA, Trakhees) and manage the permit.

04

Execution and Fit-Out

Our fit-out team builds the space: partitions, flooring, ceilings, electrical and HVAC works, joinery, and furniture installation. You get a single point of contact and a fixed programme with weekly progress updates.

05

Snagging and Handover

We snag the space against the approved drawings, complete final testing and commissioning, hand over the authority sign-off and warranties, and give you an office that is ready to occupy on day one.
