What does an interior fit-out company do?
An interior fit-out company turns an empty or outdated space into one that is ready to trade, with the layout, services and finishes built to a single programme. The company you contract owns the sequence, so the ceiling is not closed before the AC ducting is tested and the floor is not laid before the drainage is in.
In practice a fit-out has three layers. Civil works: partitions, blockwork, screeds, openings. MEP: AC, power, lighting, data, plumbing and drainage, fire detection where required. Finishing: ceilings, flooring, joinery, doors, paint, signage-ready surfaces. We deliver all three under one contract so there is no gap between trades for something to fall into.
What spaces do you fit out?
Commercial and retail spaces across Dubai: offices, shops and showrooms, restaurants and cafés, clinics, training centres and hospitality spaces. If it needs a layout, services and a finish, and a date it has to open by, it is our kind of job.
| Space | What the fit-out usually includes |
|---|---|
| Office | Partitions, meeting rooms, ceilings, flooring, AC balancing, power and data, pantry, reception joinery |
| Shop or showroom | Shopfront, display joinery, lighting design and install, flooring, stockroom, AC, fire detection |
| Restaurant or café | Front of house finishes, kitchen extraction and drainage, grease trap, fire suppression, Civil Defence requirements |
| Clinic | Partitions to room schedule, medical-grade flooring, plumbing to each room, AC, power for equipment |
| Training centre | Classrooms, acoustic partitions, AV cabling, flooring, AC, safety systems, IT infrastructure |
How does a fit-out project run with Widget Tech?
It starts with a site visit and ends with a snag list at zero. Between the two: a written quote itemised by trade with material grades named, a dated programme, and one contact who answers on WhatsApp.
Once the scope is agreed we sequence the work in trade order, civil first, then MEP, then finishes, and we update you at each milestone. We use the materials we agreed with you, with no substitutions, and we do not call the space finished while anything on the snag list is open.
What affects the cost of an interior fit-out in Dubai?
Published 2026 guides put commercial fit-out in Dubai at roughly AED 200 to 450 per square foot for a light office refurbishment and AED 350 to 600 per square foot for a basic retail fit-out, rising to AED 600 to 1,000 per square foot for mid-range retail and F&B (Capital Associated, April 2026). These factors decide where your space lands:
| MEP condition | Old AC and electrical plant is replaced before new ceilings close; sound systems only need rebalancing. |
|---|---|
| Partitioning and joinery | More walls, display units and built-in storage cost more than an open plan. |
| Material grade | Ceramic tile against natural stone, paint against feature finishes. |
| Programme | Opening next month means more trades on site at once and night shifts. |
| Condition of the shell | Damaged slabs, leaks or a previous tenant's fit-out to strip out add work before the fit-out starts. |
At those published rates, a 1,000 sq ft space (about 93 sqm) works out at roughly AED 200,000 to 450,000 for a light refurbishment and AED 350,000 to 600,000 for a basic retail fit-out. These are third-party figures, not Widget Tech prices. We quote after a site visit, itemised by trade, so you can see where each dirham goes.
Do you handle Civil Defence and building approvals?
Yes. We tell you at the site visit which approvals your scope will need, from the building management's fit-out NOC to Civil Defence for fire systems, and we handle the submissions as part of the contract. You don't touch the paperwork.
How do you choose an interior fit-out company in Dubai?
Ask for four things on paper: a quote itemised by trade, a material list with named grades, a dated programme, and photos of finished spaces in Dubai. Then ask who your single contact is and how you reach them.
A fit-out company that cannot give you those four things before you sign will not give them to you on site. And if the person who quoted is not the person who turns up when the ceiling comes down, you will be managing the project yourself.
"Widget Tech managed our entire project from start to finish. We didn't have to worry about anything. They handled approvals, construction, interiors, and all systems. Highly recommended."

Frequently asked questions
How long does a fit-out take in Dubai?+
A small office or shop refresh takes weeks; a full strip-out with new MEP takes months. You get a dated programme with the quote, and we update it at each milestone.
Can you work while the business stays open?+
Often, in phases and out of hours. It adds time and cost, and we say by how much in the quote.
Do you provide the design?+
We work from your design or coordinate one with a registered design partner. Either way the drawings are agreed before the quote is fixed.
How do I start?+
Send photos, the floor plan if you have one, and what you want the space to do. We book a site visit and come back with a written quote.
