Common Questions
Frequently asked about restaurant renovation in Dubai Internet City.
Who issues NOCs and permits for restaurant renovation in Dubai Internet 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.
Which districts of Dubai Internet City do you deliver in?
Yes — we deliver across Dubai Internet City Tower A, Dubai Internet City Tower B, Dubai Internet City Plaza, Dubai Internet City Residence. Each cluster carries its own approval nuances (façade restrictions, working-hour windows, skip-permit rules) — we map these at survey before quotation.
How is restaurant renovation scoped across Dubai Internet City typologies?
Yes — we deliver across the full Dubai Internet City typology spectrum, from Studio through 2/3-BR. 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.
What Dubai Internet City-specific rules affect the renovation programme?
Three constraints we always plan for in Dubai Internet 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.
What Dubai Internet City-specific approvals does a restaurant fit-out need?
A Dubai Internet City restaurant routes through TECOM Authority for landlord NOC, DDA for the building modification permit, plus DM food-safety pre-approval, FCC (Food Control Compliance), DUGAS / Emirates Gas for piped gas, and DCD (Dubai Civil Defence) for fire-safety + egress. We submit all six in parallel so the licence activates clean.
How long does a restaurant fit-out take?
Café (1,500–3,000 sqft): 10–14 weeks. Casual dining (3,000–6,000 sqft): 14–20 weeks. Flagship / fine dining: 18–28 weeks. Cloud kitchen: 6–10 weeks. Approvals are sequenced into these timelines, not on top.
Do you handle DM food safety approvals?
Yes — pre-approval drawings, ongoing inspection coordination and final inspection are all part of our scope. We submit drawings to DM before any procurement so the layout is signed off in principle before money is spent.
Do you supply commercial kitchen equipment?
Yes — through authorised UAE dealers for Rational, Convotherm, MKN, Henny Penny, Hobart, Electrolux Professional, Foster, Bonnet, Ascaso and others. We design the kitchen, specify the equipment, supply, install and commission.
