Fit-Out

The fit-out process is particularly important in Dubai's dynamic property market. A basic distinction is made between Shell & Core (basic configuration) and various fit-out levels.

In detail, a fit-out covers the following main areas:

• Technical installations: Electrics, air conditioning, plumbing
• Basic equipment: Floor coverings, wall design, ceiling panelling
• Room layout: Partition walls, doors, window design
• Interior design: Furnishings, lighting, decorative elements

In Dubai, the fit-out standard is often influenced by local regulations and climatic requirements. Efficient air conditioning in particular plays a central role. Investors should note that the quality of the fit-out has a direct influence on lettability and the achievable rent.

A distinction is made depending on the type of property:

• Standard Fit-Out: Basic equipment for immediate use
• Premium Fit-Out: High-quality materials and design elements
• Custom Fit-Out: Customised to user requirements

The cost of a fit-out in Dubai varies greatly and can range from AED 2,000 to AED 5,000 per square metre for office space. It is important to observe local building regulations and obtain the necessary authorisations. The implementation time is typically 8-16 weeks, depending on the scope.

For investors, careful planning of the fit-out process is recommended, as this has a significant impact on the value and profitability of the property. Working with experienced local fit-out specialists can help to keep to both the budget and schedule while maintaining the high quality standards of the property. Dubai property market to fulfil.
