Common Questions
Frequently asked about office renovation in Dubai Media City.
Who issues NOCs and permits for office renovation in Dubai Media City?
Your project routes through TECOM Authority first for community NOC, then DDA for the engineering permit. Buildsmith® handles both — submission, follow-up, inspection close-out and final completion certificate are all standard scope. We do not start work until the community NOC is granted.
Are all phases of Dubai Media City covered, or only specific zones?
Yes — we deliver across Dubai Media City Plaza, Dubai Media City Tower, Dubai Media City Business Centre, Dubai Media City Pavilion. Each cluster carries its own approval nuances (façade restrictions, working-hour windows, skip-permit rules) — we map these at survey before quotation.
Do you renovate every Dubai Media City typology under one contract?
Yes — we deliver across the full Dubai Media City typology spectrum, from Boutique office (50–200 sqm) through Full-floor (700+ sqm). Every project is fixed-price under one design-and-build contract, scoped against your specific unit and finish brief. Indicative figures and a sequenced programme are issued within one business day of survey, never against a generic per-square-foot rate.
Which Dubai Media City community rules should I plan around?
Three constraints we always plan for in Dubai Media City: DM / DDA permit required for any structural modification; Community management NOC required before works; Working hours typically 08:00–17:00 weekdays. We surface these at the quotation stage so the programme reflects them — not at week three when they suddenly stop site work.
Can Dubai Media City office renovation happen with the team in?
Yes — for Dubai Media City we routinely deliver live-tenant office renovation in extended out-of-hours windows: 18:00–06:00 weekdays plus full weekends with TECOM Authority permit. Negative-air dust extraction, lift and corridor protection, neighbour pre-notification — your team works through the renovation, not around it.
Can you renovate while we keep operating?
Yes — this is the most common scope. We phase the renovation by floor, by zone or by department, and schedule heavy works (demolition, drilling) for evenings and weekends. Most clients lose zero working days.
How do you handle our active server room?
Server rooms are sealed off with dust-tight enclosures throughout the works. Cooling is maintained via temporary spot cooling if the building system is interrupted. Any cabling work is scheduled with your IT team, typically over a weekend window.
Do you supply furniture or do we?
Either model works. We hold partnerships with leading commercial-furniture brands (Vitra, Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll, Andreu World) and can supply, deliver and install. Or you can nominate your own; we coordinate FF&E delivery into the programme.
