Fit-out and technical works inside public facilities.

Yes. We are registered or approved as a vendor with federal ministries, government hospitals, a government free zone, a higher-education body and a national insurer. Government and healthcare together account for roughly 49% of everything we have delivered by value. The largest single relationship is Sheikh Khalifa General Hospital in Umm Al Quwain, which has awarded us thirteen separate scopes across five trades.

Three things, and none of them is the building work. First, you do not win it by being cheapest — you win it by being registered, compliant on paper, and able to evidence the scope. Second, the documentation is the deliverable as much as the works: method statements, risk assessments, material submittals, inspection requests and a handover file, all in the required format, all before anybody picks up a tool. Third, the facility usually stays open, so the programme is written around the department rather than the department around the programme.

Vendor registration first — without it you cannot see the tender. Then prequalification against licence, financial and experience criteria. The bid itself is normally two envelopes, technical and commercial, opened separately, with the technical one assessed before anyone looks at your price. A best-and-final-offer round often follows. A bid bond may be required at submission and a performance bond on award, with retention held against the contract and released after the defects period. Payment terms are typically longer than private work. All of that has to be priced in, not discovered afterwards.

That is most of what we do. At Sheikh Khalifa General Hospital the works run department by department inside a fully operational hospital, with hoarding, dust screening and negative-pressure zones set up before an area is opened and clinical space handed back as each zone completes. Roughly half of everything we have delivered has been executed in premises that never closed.

Every invoice issued to period end has been settled. Two phases of clinical vinyl worth AED 400K+ were completed and settled at SKGH, and a further package worth AED 500K+ is in delivery there now. The repeat awards are the reference: a government hospital giving the same young contractor thirteen scopes across five trades is a harder thing to arrange than a testimonial.

We will not claim what we cannot produce. We hold a Dubai DET trade licence (number 1461423) and tax registration, we work to documented method statements and risk assessments accepted by government estates teams, and our quality and HSE procedures follow recognised principles. We do not currently hold workmen’s compensation, public liability or contractor’s all-risk certificates, and where a tender requires them we say so at registration rather than at award. If that is a gate for your project, tell us early.

Interior fit-out, specialist and clinical flooring, mechanical, electrical and plumbing, painting and finishes, and facility maintenance after handover — with our own engineers and crews rather than a chain of subcontractors. On a government job that matters because one party signs the method statement, attends the inspection and answers for the defect.

Where a facility already holds our vendor registration and approved method statements, mobilisation on a new scope takes days rather than weeks. That is a large part of why awards at SKGH have kept coming back to us. On a new facility, allow for registration and prequalification before anything else — it is the longest lead item on the whole programme and it is almost always underestimated.
