UAE project guidance

Plan the information, interfaces and inspections before site work.

These guides cover practical decisions for fit out and technical contracting in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.

Featured coordination guide

Coordinate service routes with ceilings, partitions and equipment.

MEP coordination should confirm space, access, crossings, builder’s work and commissioning requirements before installation.

Brief the workplace before drawing it; test circulation and services together; and plan the move as part of the build.

Start with the premises rules; prepare information for review; and protect the delivery window.

Design around the operating model; resolve intensive services early; and specify for cleaning and endurance.

Survey what will remain; separate reuse from replacement; and sequence around occupation.

Compare scope clarity, not only totals; test coordination capability; and confirm the handover route.

Identify the reviewing parties; control document dependencies; and track comments to closure.

Reserve space before installation; coordinate interfaces, not isolated drawings; and commission as a system.

Define the acoustic problem; protect the whole construction; and verify workmanship and operation.

Reduce before specifying; choose with evidence and context; and carry intent into handover.
