Fixed-price office fit-out for Dubai Media City businesses — from AED 88,000. Building-management & authority approvals handled in-house. Free consultation. 3-year warranty across 800+ UAE projects.
Quick Answer · Dubai Media City
An office fit-out in Dubai Media City costs AED 80,000–250,000 for a Cat A / small office, AED 250,000–700,000 for a full Cat B fit-out, and AED 700,000+ for an HQ — roughly AED 80–200 per sqft. Timelines run 1–7 weeks. Offices need a building/free-zone fit-out NOC plus DM/Civil Defence and landlord approvals, handled in-house. Because tenants are already paying rent, works are fast-tracked and phased. Fixed price, 3-year warranty.
After 800+ UAE projects we see the same problems in Dubai Media City again and again. Here's what goes wrong — and how we fix every one.
In Dubai Media City the lease clock runs from day one. We fast-track survey, Dubai Municipality/building NOC and the fit-out — and can phase works so your team occupies sooner and pays less empty rent.
Glass/gypsum partitions that block fire, AC or sprinkler coverage get rejected. We design compliant layouts and secure the fit-out NOC first time.
Landlords hand over bare Cat A; you need Cat B to actually work. We price the full gap — partitions, MEP, joinery — in one fixed BOQ, no surprises.
We sequence and phase so occupied floors keep working while we build, with out-of-hours where the building requires.
