The Fajr Sequence
Eight decisions. One controlled build.

Eight decision checkpoints, from your first brief to handover. Some activities overlap; dependent work moves forward only when the information and permissions it needs are ready.

01 / Brief

Define what the project has to achieve before anyone starts drawing.

Why it matters: Agree the priorities before time is spent designing the wrong solution.

02 / Survey

Measure the existing condition and expose constraints before design assumptions become expensive.

Why it matters: Find constraints before assumptions become changes on site.

03 / Plan

Resolve how the space works before materials and styling make changes expensive.

Why it matters: Resolve how the space works before committing to finishes and fabrication.

Material board: veneer, leather, stone and fabric samples

04 / Concept

Turn the approved plan into one coherent spatial, material and lighting direction.

Why it matters: Agree a coherent direction before making individual material purchases.

05 / Technical

Coordinate the information that site teams, suppliers and authorities actually need.

Why it matters: Resolve service and joinery interfaces before fabrication or installation.

Client signing off documents on site

06 / Approvals

Resolve external reviews and required permissions before they become delays on a mobilised site.

Why it matters: Identify the required permissions before committing to work that depends on them.

07 / Build

Construct from the coordinated set, with procurement, quality and programme controlled together.

Why it matters: Track procurement, workmanship and inspections against the agreed information.

Why it matters: Check the finished work, test systems and hand over the information needed to use the space.

Client proof

Hear it from the client.

Useful before you call us

Questions you should ask before you hire anyone.

Cost, programme, approvals, design responsibility, quotation gaps and what should be fixed before construction starts. Fajr Interiors L.L.C has designed and built in Dubai since 2011.

Fajr Insights

Know what you are deciding before you spend.

What does a full villa renovation actually include?

It can include strip-out, layout changes, MEP replacement, ceilings, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, lighting, finishes, furnishing, exterior work and the approvals triggered by the scope. The first job is defining that boundary clearly.

What is Cat A vs Cat B in an office?

Cat A generally describes a base fitout; Cat B describes the tenant-specific workplace, including its layout, rooms, finishes, furniture and systems. The exact handover specification varies, so confirm what your landlord provides before comparing fitout scope.

When does the project cost become reliable?

A survey and a clear brief support an initial budget. Pricing becomes more reliable when drawings, specifications, measured quantities, exclusions and allowances are coordinated. Any later change should be identified and agreed before dependent work proceeds.

Who handles approvals?

Fajr prepares and coordinates the submission packages. Villa routes start with the developer or community NOC, then go to DDA, or to Trakhees on Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Islands. Office routes begin with landlord/building management and the relevant authority and life-safety route.

Can an office stay operational during renovation?

It depends on the works, access, safety and the services that need to be interrupted. Assess whether the project can be phased and agree the arrangements with the relevant parties before assuming the office can remain operational.

How long does a full villa renovation take?

It depends on scope, approvals, long-lead items and how early the design decisions are closed. A proper programme includes design, submission, procurement and construction — not only the months when trades are visible on site.

Does every stage happen one after another?

Not necessarily. Design, submissions and procurement planning can overlap. The key is that work dependent on a decision or permission does not proceed before that decision or permission is ready.
