Single-Contractor Delivery

Design, documentation, kitchen coordination, fit-out, and joinery delivered by one team under one contract — no gap between front-of-house design and back-of-house build.

Kitchen & MEP Coordination In-House

Extraction, grease trap, gas, and kitchen equipment MEP planned alongside the dining room design — not bolted on after the layout is fixed.

Food Establishment Approvals Managed

Dubai Municipality Food Control, Civil Defence, DEWA, and landlord or mall NOC — all submitted and tracked by RNM in-house.

Why RNM Interiors

Designed for Atmosphere. Built for Kitchen Operations.

A beautiful dining room means little if the kitchen behind it can't run efficiently on opening night. RNM designs front-of-house and back-of-house together, so the space that photographs well is also the space your kitchen team can actually work in.

01

Single-Contractor Delivery

Design and construction under one contract — no gap between the concept you approve and what's built before opening.

02

Kitchen & MEP Coordination

Extraction, grease trap, and gas routing planned alongside dining room design — not discovered as a problem once fit-out is underway.

03

Food Establishment Approvals In-House

Dubai Municipality Food Control and Civil Defence submissions tracked by our own team — critical path items for any F&B opening date.

04

Fixed-Price Contract

Agreed cost before work begins. The number in the proposal is the number on the final invoice — always.

Approvals & Kitchen Logistics

F&B Fit-Out Approvals & Kitchen Logistics — Managed by RNM

A restaurant or café can't open on a nice dining room alone — Dubai Municipality Food Control, Civil Defence, and kitchen equipment sequencing all have to align before day one of trading. RNM manages every strand together.

01
At Consultation

Concept, Kitchen Equipment & Menu Review

We review your concept, proposed menu, and kitchen equipment list at the outset — the equipment schedule drives extraction sizing, grease trap capacity, and gas load, all of which shape the design brief before drawings begin.

Equipment schedule reviewed At consultation — no charge
02
Design Stage

DM Drawings & Kitchen MEP Package

Dubai Municipality-standard drawings are produced alongside the kitchen MEP package — extraction routing, grease trap sizing, and gas layout — coordinated with your kitchen equipment supplier during design development.

Included in design fee Parallel production
03
Submission

Food Control, Civil Defence & Landlord NOC Submitted

RNM submits the Dubai Municipality Food Control application, Civil Defence fire safety package, and landlord or mall design committee approval in parallel — sequencing submissions so approvals progress together.

Submitted by RNM Typically 3–5 weeks
04
Kitchen Coordination

Commercial Kitchen Supplier Sequencing

RNM schedules site access for your kitchen equipment supplier so extraction, refrigeration, and cooking line installation happen in sequence with construction — not as a separate phase that delays your opening.

Kitchen supplier coordinated Installed in sequence
05
Execution

FOH & BOH Sequenced to Your Opening Date

Front-of-house joinery and finishes and back-of-house kitchen works are sequenced against a confirmed opening date, with soft-launch and staff training time built into the programme.

Opening-date programme Soft-launch window planned
06
Handover

Food Control Inspection & Opening-Ready Handover
