What Does HFF Contracting & Interiors Do?

HFF Contracting & Interiors is a contracting and interiors company based in Dubai. We design, obtain approvals for, and build interior projects across the UAE for villas and apartments, offices and retail, hotels and restaurants. Everything runs as a single turnkey contract covering design, 2D drawings, 3D renders, Dubai Municipality submissions, joinery, MEP coordination, finishing and handover.

Most clients come to us at one of two points: they have a space and no drawings, or they have drawings and no contractor they trust to build them. We cover both.

Why HFF Contracting & Interiors

Built On Craftsmanship. Run On Deadlines.

Most fit out problems in Dubai are not design problems. They are coordination problems: a drawing that never reached the joinery workshop, an approval nobody chased, a variation raised after the tiles were laid. We structure projects to remove those gaps.

Design, drawings, approvals and execution are handled by one team on one contract, with weekly reporting against an agreed programme. You approve the 3D before anything is ordered, and the price you sign is the price you pay unless you change the scope.

  • In house 2D drawings, 3D renders and authority submissions
  • Own joinery and execution teams, no subcontractor roulette
  • Fixed-price contracts with clear payment milestones
  • Full site supervision from demolition to handover

About The Company

Process
4 Stages

A Process You Can Hold Us To

Four stages, each with a defined output and a date. You always know what happens next and who owns it.

  1. STAGE 01

    Site Visit & Proposal

    We visit the site, take measurements, understand the brief and budget, then issue a fixed-price proposal and programme.

    3–5 working days
  2. STAGE 02

    Design & 3D Renders

    Layouts, material boards and photorealistic 3D renders. Nothing is ordered until you sign off the visuals.

    Scope dependent
  3. STAGE 03

    Drawings & Approvals

    Working drawings and submissions to Dubai Municipality, the relevant free-zone authority or your community management.

    Authority dependent
  4. STAGE 04

    Build & Handover

    In house execution with weekly progress reports, a joint snag walk and handover on the contracted date.

How Long A Dubai Fit Out Actually Takes

Indicative durations from our own completed projects, measured from contract signature to handover. Authority approval time sits outside these figures and varies by area.

Project typeTypical scopeBuild durationApprovals needed

Small office fit outPartitions, ceilings, MEP, furniture4–6 weeksFree-zone or DM

Durations are indicative and confirmed in writing in your proposal. Long lead items such as imported stone or bespoke joinery can extend a programme; we flag these before contract, not during.

What Owners Say After Handover

HFF renovated our villa in Arabian Ranches end to end. The 3D renders matched the final result almost exactly, and they handed over a week early.

Villa Owner, Arabian Ranches

They handled our office fit out and all municipality approvals while we kept working. Zero downtime, fixed price, no surprises.

Managing Director, Business Bay

Professional, responsive, and honest about cost trade-offs. Our restaurant opened on schedule and the finish quality is superb.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we get asked most, answered directly. Anything else, call +971 52 261 9747.

Is HFF Contracting & Interiors a contractor or a design studio?
Both. HFF Contracting & Interiors is a contracting and interiors company. We produce the design and the drawings, and we build the project with our own execution and joinery teams. You can also engage us for design only, or for build only against drawings you already hold.
Which areas of the UAE does HFF Contracting & Interiors serve?
Most of our projects are in Dubai, where site visits are free. We also deliver work in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman.
Do you handle Dubai Municipality and authority approvals?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and handle submissions to Dubai Municipality, the relevant free-zone authority or your community management as part of the contract. Approval timelines are set by the authority, not by us, so we track them weekly and report progress rather than promise a date we do not control.
How long does a fit out take?
A three-bedroom villa interior typically runs 8 to 12 weeks of build; a small office fit out 4 to 6 weeks. Authority approval time sits on top of that and varies by area and project type. Your proposal carries a confirmed programme.
What does a fit out cost in Dubai?
Cost depends on area, specification and how much of the existing structure is retained. We do not publish rates because a per square foot figure quoted without seeing a site is a figure that changes later. After a free site visit you receive a fixed-price proposal with the scope itemised.
What are your payment terms?
Typically 30% on contract signature, staged payments released against completed milestones, and a final 10% on snag free handover. Terms are documented in writing before any work begins.
Can you work in an occupied office or villa?
Yes. We phase the works and schedule noisy activity around your operating hours or building management rules. Say so at the site visit and it is built into the programme rather than negotiated mid-project.
