Quick Answer · Business Bay
An office fit-out in Business Bay costs AED 80,000–180,000 for a refresh, AED 180,000–450,000 for a full Cat-B fit-out, and AED 450,000+ for a premium HQ — roughly AED 80–250 per sqft. Timelines run 2–14 weeks. Business Bay fit-outs need a building-management NOC plus Civil Defence and MEP approvals (free zones have their own authority), all handled in-house. Fixed price, 3-year warranty.
After 800+ Dubai projects we see the same problems in Business Bay again and again. Here's what goes wrong — and how we fix every one.
Vague scopes and hidden MEP costs wreck office budgets. We quote fixed per scope and per sqft — the number you sign is the number you pay.
Business Bay fit-outs need building-management and authority NOCs (Civil Defence, MEP). We secure them in parallel so you hit your move-in date.
You can't stop operating to fit out. We phase the work and run out-of-hours where needed so your team keeps working.
A template office wastes space and money. We design around your headcount, meeting culture and brand — not a catalogue.
