Fit-out & refurbishment contractors · UAE
Built on programme. Not on hope.
Batten & Roe are fit-out contractors working across offices, clinics, retail and industrial units in the UAE. We publish the programme on day one and report against it every Thursday. If it slips, you hear it from us before you notice it.
01 — The programme
Drag the week. Watch the job.
This is a real programme from a 640 m² clinic fit-out in Al Barsha. Move the slider and see what should be happening on any given week — this is the same view we give every client, updated Thursday.

02 — What we self-deliver
Our own trades. Our own problem.
Everything below is done by people on our payroll. Subcontracting is where programmes go to die — the fewer companies on your critical path, the fewer excuses reach your desk.
01
Partitions & ceilings
Drywall, glazed systems, acoustic and clean-room rated. Our own boarders and tapers, so the ceiling grid does not wait on somebody else's van.
02
MEP installation
First and second fix electrical, HVAC and plumbing. DEWA and Civil Defence approvals handled in-house, not passed to a consultant you have never met.
03
Joinery
Our own workshop in Al Quoz. Reception desks, wall panelling, fitted storage. Shop drawings issued for your approval before a single sheet is cut.
04
Flooring
Vinyl, carpet tile, epoxy, LVT and raised access. Subfloor moisture tested and recorded before laying — the step most contractors skip and later blame.
05
Decoration
Spray and brush finish, wall coverings, specialist coatings. Snag list generated by our foreman before you walk the site, not after.
06
Authority approvals
Trakhees, Dubai Municipality, DDA, Civil Defence, landlord fit-out approvals. We submit, we chase, we tell you honestly what the queue looks like.
03 — How we work
Four rules. We do not bend them.
Most contracting disputes come from the same four places. We took a position on each one before you walked in.
01
No variation without your signature
Not a verbal agreement on site, not an email chain, not a note in the minutes. A variation order with a price and a programme impact, signed by you before the work starts. If we did it without that, we absorb it.
02
The programme is published, not promised
You get the Gantt on day one and a marked-up version every Thursday showing actual against planned. When something slips, it is visible in the same week, not discovered at handover.
03
One foreman, start to finish
The person who walks the site with you in week one is the person who hands it over. No rotating site managers, no handover briefings between our own staff that you end up paying for in lost days.
04
Snagging before you see it
Our foreman produces the snag list and closes it before we invite you to inspect. Handing over a job for the client to find the faults is an admission that nobody checked.

Tender
Send the drawings. Get a programme with the price.
Every tender we return includes the Gantt, not just the number. If we cannot hit your date we will say so in the first conversation rather than the eleventh week.
