Commercial Refurbishment & Renovation
NASH Interiors is a commercial refurbishment contractor delivering office upgrades, interior alterations, façade improvements, and occupied-property renovations across the UAE - planned, priced, and executed under one contract.
The typical requirement
Commercial property does not stay competitive on its own. Offices date, common areas wear, façades weather, and layouts stop matching how tenants actually work. Refurbishment is how landlords protect rental value and how occupiers get a workplace that performs - without the cost of relocating.
The clients who appoint us for this work are landlords and property managers upgrading buildings between tenancies or repositioning assets; facilities managers with a defined improvement programme and a building that must keep operating; and tenants refurbishing their own premises mid-lease.
What they share is a low tolerance for disruption and a need for certainty: a firm scope, a firm price, landlord and authority approvals handled properly, and works that do not turn an operating property into a construction site.
Refurbishment with contracting discipline
Refurbishment fails differently from new fit-out: the surprises are inside the existing building. Our approach is built around finding them before pricing, not after mobilisation.
01 - Assessment
Structured site survey of the existing property - condition, services, access, and constraints - before any commitment on price or programme.
02 - Defined scope & price
An itemised proposal against a written scope, with options and phasing alternatives priced separately so decisions are made on numbers, not assumptions.
03 - Approvals & planning
Landlord consents, authority permits, and building-management requirements secured, with the works plan agreed with occupants before site start.
04 - Controlled execution
Protection, segregation, and agreed working hours enforced on site; progress reported weekly; handover documented, with the final account closed properly.
What we deliver
From a single floor to a whole property, refurbishment scopes are defined precisely and delivered under one accountable contract.
Commercial property refurbishment
Complete refurbishment of offices, retail units, showrooms, and building common areas - finishes, ceilings, flooring, lighting, and services.
Office upgrades
Workplace refurbishment and modernisation - reception areas, meeting suites, open-plan reconfiguration, and end-of-tenancy reinstatement.
Interior alterations
Partition changes, structural openings coordinated with the relevant consultants, layout reconfiguration, and associated MEP modifications.
Exterior & façade improvements
Façade cleaning, repair, and recoating, entrance upgrades, external finishes, and signage zones - improving the asset from the street inward.
Occupied-property renovation
Works phased around live operations - protection and segregation, after-hours and weekend working, and floor-by-floor sequencing.
Outlet conversion & enhancement
Converting or upgrading existing commercial units for new uses or new tenants, including landlord-package works between tenancies.
Working in live buildings
Most refurbishment risk is not technical - it is the interface with an operating property. Occupants, building management, landlords, and authorities all have requirements, and a contractor who ignores any of them puts your programme at risk.
Landlord & building management
Fit-out guides, method statement approvals, permit-to-work systems, and access and delivery restrictions are identified at assessment stage and built into the programme and price.
Authority approvals
Municipality and civil defence requirements for alterations - including any works affecting fire systems, façades, or means of escape - are managed by NASH as part of the contract.
Occupant coordination
For occupied properties we agree the disruption plan in writing: which areas close and when, noise-generating works scheduled after hours, and a named point of contact throughout.
Services continuity
Shutdowns of power, water, chilled water, or fire systems are planned, approved, and communicated in advance - never improvised on site.
Who we work with
Repositioning assets, upgrading common areas, and delivering landlord packages between tenancies to protect rental value.
Delivering planned improvement works across managed buildings with proper documentation and minimal occupant disruption.
Executing refurbishment and alteration programmes in operating facilities, with method statements and permits handled properly.
Refurbishing occupied premises mid-lease, or fitting out and upgrading newly leased space with landlord consent managed for them.
Typical deliverables
A condition and scope assessment; an itemised commercial proposal with phasing options; landlord and authority submissions; an agreed disruption and working-hours plan; weekly progress reporting; and a documented handover with testing records, warranties, and a closed final account.

Common questions
Can you work in a building that stays occupied?
Yes - occupied-property refurbishment is a core part of this service, and it is planned as such from the first site visit. Works are sequenced floor by floor or zone by zone, dust and noise are controlled through physical segregation and scheduling, and the works plan is agreed with building management and occupants in writing before we mobilise. Where a scope genuinely cannot be done safely around occupants, we say so at assessment stage rather than discovering it on site.
How is disruption actually controlled?
Through the programme, not through promises. Noise-generating works - demolition, drilling, floor grinding - are scheduled outside occupied hours. Work zones are physically hoarded or screened, protected routes are agreed for materials and waste, and services shutdowns are notified in advance with defined windows. You receive the disruption plan as a document before works start, and a named site contact is accountable for keeping to it.
Who obtains landlord approvals?
We prepare and manage the submissions - drawings, method statements, insurances, and contractor registrations - under the building's fit-out or alteration procedures. Formal consent usually has to be issued to the leaseholder, so your signature may be required, but the technical work of securing it sits with NASH and its lead time is built into the programme from day one.
Can the works be phased to suit our budget?
Yes. Refurbishment lends itself to phasing, and we price it that way when asked: the scope is broken into defined stages - for example, common areas first, office floors after - each with its own itemised cost, so you can commit stage by stage. We will also tell you where phasing adds cost, such as repeated mobilisation or protection works, so the trade-off is visible before you decide.
Do you only take on full refurbishments, or defined packages too?
Both. Alongside complete refurbishments we deliver clearly scoped single packages - repainting and façade recoating, flooring replacement, a reception upgrade, or a defined set of alterations - with the same planning and commercial discipline. If a package is all the property needs, we will not inflate it into a refurbishment.
