Office fitout approvals in Dubai create business disruption and operational challenges. Companies often sign leases without understanding approval timelines, creating gaps between lease start and operational readiness. Landlord approval requirements vary significantly between buildings, causing unexpected delays. Free zone vs mainland approval differences confuse businesses, especially international companies unfamiliar with Dubai regulations. Open-plan office designs may require different approvals than partitioned offices, affecting both timeline and cost. Civil Defence requirements for offices are frequently overlooked, causing last-minute system installations. MEP modifications for increased electrical load or HVAC capacity require separate approvals that delay occupancy. Each day of delay means paying rent for empty space while maintaining your old office, plus productivity loss from unsettled staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about office fitout approval
Yes, most office fitouts in Dubai require approvals. You need Dubai Municipality building permit for structural changes, partitioning, MEP modifications, or significant renovations. Landlord approval is always required regardless of government permits. Some buildings require Civil Defence approval for office fitouts. Free zone offices (DIFC, DMCC, JAFZA) need approvals from free zone authority instead of Dubai Municipality. Minor cosmetic changes (painting, furniture) typically don't require permits but still need landlord approval.
