A Professional Approach to Design and Build in the UAE
Design and build services refer to the complete process of developing a space from initial concept to final execution under one accountable provider. In Dubai, this method has become increasingly preferred due to its efficiency, authority compliance, and singular project ownership.
Clients who require interior transformation without fragmentation benefit from the streamlined model of a single design and build contractor. At Parlour Firm, we offer a vertically integrated solution that combines architectural planning, interior design, fit-out execution, joinery production, and project management under one umbrella.
We work with commercial enterprises, homeowners, healthcare operators, retail tenants, and hospitality investors across Dubai and the wider Emirates, delivering tailored environments that function as intended and comply with regulatory standards.
Why Design and Build Is Effective in Dubai
Unified Coordination
Instead of hiring separate design consultants, fit-out contractors, and authority agents, clients deal with one firm responsible for all phases. This eliminates gaps in communication, budget disputes, or misaligned priorities.
Time and Cost Predictability
When one team plans and builds the project, timelines and costs are calculated with technical accuracy. Change orders are reduced, and construction begins only when documentation is fully prepared.
Local Compliance Knowledge
Design and build providers in Dubai are expected to understand requirements from Dubai Municipality, Civil Defence, Trakhees, TECOM, or relevant free zone authorities. Our firm designs with these rules in mind from the outset.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is your firm licensed to execute fit-out in Dubai?
Yes. Parlour Firm operates under legal license, with experience in handling full authority submissions for both residential and commercial fit-out across Dubai and the wider UAE.
How are project timelines determined?
Timelines are determined based on scope, site readiness, and approval processes. For example, an office fit-out of 100 square metres may take six weeks, whereas a full restaurant may require up to twelve weeks including approvals.
Do you provide a single point of contact during execution?
Yes. Each project is assigned a dedicated project manager who acts as the single point of communication between client and team.
Can we request only design or only execution?
Yes. We offer standalone design consultation and layout planning services, and we can also execute fit-out based on third-party drawings after technical verification.
Do you undertake projects outside of Dubai?
Yes. We have completed projects in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Ajman. However, our base operations remain in Dubai.
