Fit-Out Contracting →
A retail fit-out has one job on opening day — get customers through the door and moving through the space the way it was designed. RNM builds every store to open on time, on brand, and ready to trade.
Design and shopfit under one contract — no gap between the concept you approve and what's installed on opening day.
Established working relationships with Dubai's major mall design committees — EMAAR Malls, Nakheel, Meraas — from prior approved fit-outs.
We work within established brand standards and shopfit specifications — material palettes, signage, and visual merchandising aligned to your brand book.
Agreed cost before work begins. The number in the proposal is the number on the final invoice — critical when a launch date is fixed.
A mall retail fit-out needs more than Dubai Municipality sign-off — most malls run their own design committee review before works can start. RNM manages both processes together, against your opening date.
Every mall — and every landlord — has its own design criteria manual, permitted shopfront treatments, and design committee submission format. RNM reviews your specific mall's requirements and your unit's shell condition before design begins.
Dubai Municipality-standard drawings and the mall design committee submission — shopfront elevation, material board, signage package — are produced in parallel, formatted to your landlord's specific criteria manual.
RNM submits to the mall design committee and Dubai Municipality in parallel — tracking review comments and resubmissions so approval rounds don't stall the fit-out programme.
Mall units are typically accessed via back-of-house service corridors, with material delivery windows and after-hours noisy-works restrictions during trading hours. RNM's site manager coordinates access and delivery scheduling directly with mall operations.
Civil, MEP, joinery, and visual merchandising installation are sequenced against a confirmed opening date — with shopfitting and signage timed for a stocked, trade-ready store on day one.
RNM coordinates the mall's completion inspection and shopfront sign-off ahead of trading. As-built drawings, warranties, and mall clearance documentation are included in your handover pack.

Answers to the questions retailers and showroom operators ask us most often before starting a fit-out project in Dubai.
Retail design-only documentation typically starts from AED 150/m². Full design and Category B shopfit ranges from AED 300 to AED 650/m² depending on display joinery complexity and finish specification. A fixed-fee proposal is provided after the initial consultation. See our cost guide.
A typical retail unit of 1,000–2,000 sq ft takes 8 to 12 weeks from design sign-off to opening, including mall design committee approval where applicable. Larger showroom projects or multi-unit rollouts take longer depending on the number of locations and approval complexity.
Most Dubai malls run their own design committee review — separate from Dubai Municipality — that assesses shopfront design, materials, and signage against the mall's design criteria manual before fit-out can begin. RNM prepares and submits this package as standard, alongside DM drawings.
Yes. We deliver multi-unit rollouts under one design standard and one contract — maintaining brand guideline consistency in materials, joinery, and finish quality across every location, rather than variable quality from different local contractors.
Showroom design prioritises product presentation over transaction speed — lighting, sightlines, and circulation are planned around how a customer inspects a considered purchase such as furniture, vehicles, or jewellery, rather than the faster browse-and-buy journey of standard retail.
Yes. We deliver kiosk and pop-up retail fit-outs on compressed timelines built around short-lease mall approval processes — typically 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope and the mall's own turnaround for temporary fit-out approval.
