Office Renovation in Dubai
Partitions, ceilings, flooring, lighting, power and data, joinery and paintwork — planned as one scope and delivered by a single contractor, around a workplace that usually still has to function. Primo has been operating in Dubai since 2012.

What an Office Renovation With Primo Covers
Commercial interiors are priced by system rather than by room. These are the systems a quotation is built from.
Partitions and Layout
Blockwork, drywall and glazed partitions, doors, and the removal of existing walls to open up or subdivide a floorplate.
Ceilings and Lighting
Suspended and gypsum ceilings, lighting layouts, diffusers and grilles, and the coordination between them so services line through cleanly.
Power and Data
Sockets, switches, containment and data outlets set out to the new desk positions rather than to where the last tenant left them.
Flooring and Finishes
Carpet tile, vinyl, tiling and skirting, plus paintwork and making good after partition and services work.
Joinery
Reception counters, storage walls, pantry units and meeting-room furniture built to the measured dimensions of the space.
HVAC Alterations
Relocating and rebalancing supply and return points when the partition layout changes, so rooms are not left over- or under-served.
Refresh, Reconfigure or Full Fit-Out?
Not every office needs to be stripped back. This is how we separate the three, so you can see which one your space actually calls for.
How an Office Renovation Runs
Site visit and measure
We walk the floorplate, record the existing partitions, ceilings, power, data and HVAC, and go through how you need the space to work.
Scope and quotation
You receive a written quotation itemised by trade and by system, so you can see what each part costs and remove anything outside the budget.
Setting out
The agreed layout is marked out on the floor before anything is built, so the room sizes and circulation can be checked in the real space.
Strip out and protection
Redundant partitions, ceilings and finishes are removed, and any areas that stay in use are protected and separated from the works.
First fix
Partitions go up, and containment, power, data, lighting and HVAC alterations are installed before anything is closed in.
Second fix and finishes
Ceilings, flooring, joinery, doors, ironmongery and paintwork are completed in sequence.
Snagging and handover
We walk the space with you, list what needs correcting, close it out, and clean before you take occupation.
What Affects Your Quotation
We do not publish office renovation prices, because these are the things that actually move the number. A site visit is what turns them into a figure.
Area and partition run
Cost follows the linear metres of partition and the number of enclosed rooms far more closely than it follows the floor area.
Partition specification
Drywall, blockwork and glazed systems sit at very different price points, as do acoustic-rated partitions for meeting rooms.
Services density
The number of sockets, data outlets and light fittings, and how far they sit from the existing distribution, changes the electrical scope substantially.
Ceiling and HVAC works
Reworking ceilings almost always pulls in lighting and air-conditioning alterations, because the three share the same plane.
Occupied or vacant
Work that has to happen around a functioning office is phased and sequenced differently from work in an empty unit, and that shows in the price.
Finish level
Flooring, joinery and ironmongery specifications vary widely, and are one of the largest single variables in any commercial quotation.
Primo does not quote an office renovation without seeing the space. Anything priced from a floor plan alone will change once someone measures it on site.
What to Send With Your Enquiry
The more of this you can send up front, the more useful the first conversation is.
- The floor plan, if you have one, or rough dimensions
- Photographs of the space as it is now
- The building and unit, and whether you are the tenant or the owner
- How many people the space needs to seat, and how many enclosed rooms
- Which systems you want changed and which should stay
- Whether the space will be occupied during the work, and when you need it ready
Why Choose Primo for an Office Renovation
Commercial work fails at the joins between trades. The value is in one contractor sequencing partitions, ceilings, electrical, data, HVAC and finishes in the right order.
One contractor, every trade
Partition crews, electricians, AC technicians, joiners and painters are scheduled by us. You have one point of contact and one quotation rather than five.

Office Renovation Questions
Can the office stay open during the work?
Often, yes, where the works can be separated from the areas still in use. It changes how the job is phased and sequenced, so we confirm what is practical on the site visit rather than promising it up front.
Do you handle the electrical and data cabling?
Yes. Power, containment and data outlets are set out to the new layout as part of the same scope, rather than being left for you to arrange separately.
Can existing partitions and ceilings be reused?
Sometimes. Sound drywall and grid ceilings can often be adapted rather than replaced, which is usually the single largest saving available. We assess what is reusable on the site visit.
Will the air conditioning still work after the layout changes?
Supply and return points are relocated and rebalanced as part of the works when partitions move. Leaving this out is the most common reason a reconfigured office ends up with rooms that are too hot or too cold.
Can we phase the work floor by floor or area by area?
Yes. Phasing is agreed before pricing, because it affects sequencing, protection and how many times each trade has to return to site.
