We are amongst the best Retail Fit Out Companies in Abu Dhabi and quite proud of what we have achieved and what we have done and what the fit out crew have done for our clients. We can be your guide to walk you through the design and build timelines, so you can sign your lease. What is the timeline from now until the trading?
Step 1: Design and Build Timelines
So the first thing we do is engage you with our interior designer or an architect for tenancies between 50 and 150 square meters. We usually take three weeks to allow for the concept stage, we are going to allow another three to four weeks for the design and drawing, and the scope of work.
Step 2: Certified Retail Design manager
Once these are done, we need to send them to the Retail Design manager, and Eminent Interio would allow up to a week for the design and plans to come back and forth with amendments until our retail design manager is completely happy. So, the design, the retail design manual and drawing needs to be approved by you.
Step 3: Plan Certification
The next step is certification which has to be provided by a private certifier. The private server has got your plans, we also send them out for tender, we need to allow two weeks for tender for a complete, itemized court.
Step 4: Appoint a Shop Fitter For Construction
Once you have appointed your shop fitter, we need to get from the private certifier the Construction Certificate (CC) means the shop fitter can commence works.
Step 5: Inspection and Issuance of a Construction Certificate (CC) by a Private Certifier
The next step is to retail the fitout, we need to allow a few days for the private certifier to inspect and give you your occupational certificate. This is the golden ticket, and you can start trading.
So the conclusion is we are looking at three and a half months from when you sign your lease to your trading, which is something you need to consider when planning and designing your Retail Fit Out in Abu Dhabi.
