Quick answers people ask before an office fit out in Dubai
These questions decide budget, timeline, approvals, and location choices. The goal is clarity so execution stays smooth.
How much does office fit out cost in Dubai?+
Cost depends on office size, scope level, the amount of MEP and IT work, partition type, and how many authority approvals are needed. Use the price guide below as a starting point, then confirm after a site check and scope freeze.
How much does a fit out cost per square metre in Dubai?+
A practical way is to estimate per sqm based on scope tier. Budget fit outs focus on essentials, standard focuses on productivity and branding, premium focuses on detail and comfort. Exact numbers vary by building rules and finishes, so treat ranges as indicative only.
What is an office fit out project?+
An office fit out is the process of converting a shell or existing space into a functional workplace. It includes layout planning, partitions, flooring, ceilings, lighting, MEP, data and AV points, pantry and washroom adjustments, and final handover checks.
What is the difference between a fit out and a renovation?+
Fit out usually means building the workplace elements from base condition or changing the internal layout and services. Renovation often means refreshing an existing finished office such as repainting, flooring changes, lighting upgrades, and selective joinery without major layout changes.
How to plan an office renovation?+
Start with team headcount, meeting room needs, storage, and workflow. Then confirm power and data points, AC and ventilation, and fire safety rules. After that, select finishes that match wear level and cleaning needs. A 3D preview helps align decisions before ordering.
How to get initial approval in Dubai?+
Initial approval commonly starts with landlord and building management NOC, then fit out permit requirements based on your location and authority. Some buildings also require fire safety review for layout changes. The approvals section below shows a practical checklist and what documents usually help.
What are the root causes of construction project delays in Dubai?+
Most delays come from late approvals, missing drawings, scope changes after procurement, long lead materials, MEP clashes discovered during execution, and inspection booking delays. The process section includes a delay prevention table you can use as a checklist.
Which Dubai areas offer the cheapest office rentals?+
Rental cost changes frequently, but budget friendly choices are often older commercial zones and practical business corridors where fit out rules are simpler. Use the rental guide table below to compare tradeoffs like parking, access, and building rules.
Which is the best company to work for in Dubai?+
It depends on industry, role, and benefits. From a workplace perspective, the best companies usually invest in clear workflows, healthy lighting, comfortable meeting areas, and quiet focus zones. A well planned fit out can support productivity and retention without overspending.

Root causes of delays and how to prevent them
Most Dubai delays are predictable when you track approvals, drawings, procurement, and inspections as separate lanes.
Delay cause
Why it happens
How to prevent it
Approvals not started early
NOC and permit steps begin after site start planning
Collect NOC documents and drawings before procurement
Scope changes after ordering
Layout moves after partitions, flooring, or joinery are booked
Freeze scope using 3D preview and written scope
MEP clashes found on site
Power, data, AC routes conflict with partitions and ceilings
Coordinate drawings and points map before ceiling close
Long lead materials
Special finishes, glass, joinery, lighting arrive late
Confirm lead times early and choose alternatives if needed
Access timing
Building allows work only in certain hours and loading rules
Align permits, deliveries, and manpower with access windows
Red flag If a plan does not show power and data points clearly, delays usually appear later when teams discover missing outlets and routes.
This is a practical checklist, not a legal or authority document.
Office rental guide for budget planning
Rent and fit out should be planned together. A cheaper rent can still become expensive if rules are strict, access is limited, or the base building condition forces extra MEP work.

Client experiences
Ansar Zameer
I’ve got multiple offices across Dubai, but when I recently hired Revive Hub Renovations Dubai to renovate my workspace in Business Bay, the experience blew me away. I was worried about the permissions, especially the NOC from the building management and the Dubai Municipality and fire safety approvals that always slow things down. What stood out: they told me upfront you don’t pay until you’re fully satisfied with the design, and even before we’d signed anything they gave two free design revisions based on my feedback. And they handled the approval process for me, from building management NOC to the municipality paperwork so I didn’t have to chase anything. The final space in Business Bay looks professional, clean, and exactly how I pictured it. Rare to find this kind of honesty plus dedication these days. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a smooth, compliance safe office renovation.

I’m based in Dubai Silicon Oasis, and I’ve dealt with a few renovation companies before, most of them either respond late or surprise you with hidden charges at the end. So I started this project with a bit of hesitation. Revive Hub actually surprised me in a good way. They sent the first 3D preview on the same day, which was way faster than anything I’ve seen from companies around JVC and nearby areas. It felt like they were genuinely paying attention instead of recycling some template design. The second revision took a little more time, and for a moment I thought the process might slow down, but once I saw the final version, it felt worth the wait. They followed every detail I mentioned without trying to upsell anything or add weird extra costs. What I appreciated most was how simple, transparent, and honest everything felt. No last minute surprises, no hidden add ons, just a clean and straightforward experience.

Office fit out FAQs
Do you start with 3D preview before major work begins?+
A 3D preview makes layout, partitions, and key points visible. This helps align decisions early so the scope can be written clearly before procurement and site start.
How do you keep fit out cost predictable?+
Cost stays predictable when layout is frozen, MEP and IT points are confirmed, and finish specs are written. The biggest overruns usually come from late scope changes after ordering.
Can office works be done after hours?+
Many buildings allow after hours work with a permit and access plan. Confirm work hours, lift booking, noise rules, and delivery timing before scheduling.
What documents should a tenant keep after handover?+
Keep the written scope, layout drawings, points map, approvals confirmations if applicable, snag list sign off, and warranty documentation for key items and workmanship.
How do approvals affect timeline for office fit out?+
Approvals can move start dates and inspections. The safest approach is to start NOC steps early with clear drawings and align procurement with permit timing.
What is the fastest way to avoid project delays?+
Freeze scope, confirm MEP and IT points, book approvals early, and avoid ordering long lead items late. A short weekly plan for approvals, procurement, and site tasks keeps the project on track.
