Quick Answer
A good Dubai office fit-out starts with space planning, a clear Category A/B scope, and a fixed price from a real BOQ. It covers MEP, IT, HVAC, partitions, joinery and branding, with DM, Civil Defence and free-zone/landlord approvals handled in-house — ideally phased or after-hours to avoid downtime. First Unicorn delivers all of it turnkey with a written handover date.
