Start with your budget, timeline and lifestyle needs. Then agree layout, materials and MEP early so trades do not clash on site.

A good fit-out begins before any work starts. Define how each room will be used, set a realistic budget with a contingency, and confirm municipal requirements and approvals. Choose finishes that suit the UAE climate, and coordinate electrical, plumbing and ceiling layouts together so changes are not needed after work begins.
