Why Choose UMI Group for Fit-Out Works in Dubai?

We bridge the gap between design and construction. By handling both the creative design and the physical fit-out, we eliminate communication errors, reduce costs, and ensure the final result looks exactly like the 3D render.

Unlike many competitors who outsource, we own our joinery and production facility. This gives us total control over the quality of woodworks, metal fixtures, and glass elements, allowing for faster customization and installation.

We respect your budget. Our team excels at value engineering—suggesting alternative materials and construction methods that achieve your desired luxury look and durability while keeping costs optimized.

Navigating Dubai's approval processes can be complex. We handle all paperwork and inspections with Dubai Municipality, Civil Defense, Trakhees, and building management, ensuring your project is legally compliant and delay-free.

We are committed to eco-friendly practices. From energy-efficient LED lighting and water-saving fixtures to low-VOC paints and sustainable materials, we help you create healthy, environmentally responsible spaces.

We understand that time is money, especially for commercial leases. Our project managers use strict scheduling and real-time tracking to ensure your office or store opens exactly when planned.

Design-Build vs Traditional Fit-Out: What is Best?

Best for: Clients seeking a hassle-free experience with a single point of responsibility for both design and construction.

Advantages: Faster timeline, unified accountability, better cost control, and seamless communication between designers and builders.

Process: UMI handles everything: Concept -> Design -> Approvals -> Build -> Handover.

Best for: Clients who already have a completed design from a third-party consultant and need a contractor for execution only.

Advantages: Allows competitive bidding on the construction phase if the design is already finalized.

Process: You provide the drawings; UMI executes the fit-out works with precision and quality.

We highly recommend the Design-Build (Turnkey) approach. It minimizes risk for the client, prevents "blame games" between designers and contractors, and typically results in a higher quality finish delivered 20-30% faster.

Interior Design & Fit-Out Costs in Dubai

Fit-out costs depend on the property condition (Shell & Core vs Fitted), level of finish, and MEP requirements. Here is a general guide to help you budget:

Functional design with standard finishes, partitions, and flooring. Ideal for startups and back-office operations.

High-quality finishes, custom joinery, glass partitions, and branded environments for HQs and client-facing offices.

Bespoke interiors with marble, wood, brass, specialized lighting, and complex MEP works for restaurants and boutiques.

Key factors include: Material selection (local vs imported), MEP complexity (kitchens/clinics cost more), ceiling design, custom furniture requirements, and authority approval fees.
