THE PROBLEM
Interior — First Unicorn Interiors project, Dubai

Why Most Dubai Office Fit-Outs Take 12-16 Weeks

After 200+ office projects, we've documented why most take 3-4x longer than they should. Here's what kills your opening date — and how we deliver in 4-6 weeks.

The hidden cost of office delays: Every week your office isn't open is a week of paying full rent on empty space. AED 50K-200K/month rent depending on size + location. We deliver in 4-6 weeks vs 12-16 weeks industry average — saves AED 100K-600K in deferred rent costs.

DM Fitout Permit Adds 4-8 Weeks Sequential

Most fitout contractors don't handle DM permits — they hand off to consultants who add 4-8 weeks. We handle DM fitout permit, DCD fire NOC, DEWA, community NOCs in-house parallel to design — adds zero time.

Long Lead Times on Custom Joinery

Office joinery (boardroom tables, reception desks, custom storage) often takes 8-12 weeks. We start manufacturing on Day 1 of design — parallel to construction — so everything arrives ready.

MEP Coordination Causes Site Delays

Air conditioning, electrical, data cabling, fire systems — must be coordinated. Generic fitouts have 30-50 RFIs from electricians/plumbers asking for clarification. We design MEP coordinated from concept stage — zero RFIs, zero delays.

Free Zone Offices (DIFC/DMCC) Have Unique Approvals

DIFC has its own building authority. DMCC requires Master Community NOC. JAFZA has JAFZA Builds approval. Most generic fitouts don't know these processes — get rejected, adds weeks. We have direct contacts at each free zone.

Our 3-tier packages: Standard (AED 250-400/sqft), Premium (AED 400-800/sqft), Executive + Smart (AED 800-2,000+/sqft).
