IS YOUR WORKPLACE DESIGN AND FIT OUT READY TO GET BUSINESS BACK TO WORK?

From additional partitions, to one way systems and contactless technology; here are A&T Group Interiors thoughts on how workplace design and fit out could change post COVID-19 to build a safe working environment for all.

CHOOSING A DESIGN AND BUILD CONTRACTOR

Can the ‘design and build’ model transform interior fit-out projects into commercial reality? We examine the advantages of the design and build model and how to choose the best design and build contractor.

THE UPSIDE OF HAVING F&B EXPERIENCE WHEN UNDERTAKING F&B PROJECTS

Destination dining has changed the way modern restaurants and other types of eateries operate nowadays. Restaurants are founded not just for offering healthful and enjoyable food options but also creating an ambiance that speaks of luxury, comfort, and pure indulgence.

MANAGING CLIENT EXPECTATIONS

Whenever a project is undertaken, the first and foremost goal is to meet, and ideally exceed client’s expectations. The construction industry in particular has to deal with very high standards when it comes to quality, efficiency and timeliness. We discuss our top tips on how to best manage client expectations to ensure repeat business.

INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY

Project delivery is made possible when people from different walks of life work together as a team and contribute their expertise to each deliverable along the way. This is known as Integrated Project Delivery or IPD and it is an approach that divides the overall risk and reward equally among all the participants.

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE PROJECT EXECUTION IN THE UAE

Starting a food & beverage business in Dubai is considered the best investment option especially if you have a unique and totally original idea. A project starts when an idea has been conceived and a few requirements have been laid out. It could be a totally new idea, something nobody has ever done before, or it could be a new approach to an existing concept in the food & beverage industry.

HOW TO ACHIEVE FINANCIAL STABILITY IN FIT OUT COMPANIES?

Before discussing how to achieve financial stability in fit out companies, let’s find out why it is important for the design and fit out contractors to be financially independent. The contractors need to pre-order materials and furniture as well as hire experts and interior designers to carry out the job as it is important to have a healthy supplier chain. If the estimated budget is way above their yearly turnover, the customer would want to look for other options.

CHALLENGES CONTRACTORS FACE WHEN EXECUTING F&B PROJECTS

Food & Beverage is a huge industry not only in the UAE but all over the world. Bars, cafes, restaurants, fast food outlets, steakhouses, coffee houses, bakeries, and the list goes on; the more eating out options being available to public, the more conscious they become of the atmosphere, the ambiance. Today people like to visit places that are family friendly and based on a particular theme. Moreover, they want to have only healthy food options, as mentioned in the KPMG 2016 Food & Beverage Report.

BUILDING BUDGETS FOR F&B PROJECTS, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO CONSIDER?

F&B, short for food and beverage, is usually of the largest departments in any business. Budgetary control is therefore dependent to a large extent on the results of this department. The managers are responsible to evaluate not only past performance but also current trends and any limiting factor that may affect their decision. Negative affect on sales is usually a result of current state of employment, political situation in a country, and condition of local industries, among other factors.

UAE’S F&B MARKET: EXPECTED TO DOUBLE BY 2019

According to the research by Euromonitor, the country’s food and beverage sector will need to expend in size to meet the demand from hotel and retail projects currently under development in Dubai. The sector is expected to double in the next five years. Currently there are 18345 outlets in the Emirates and another 19000 outlets are expected in the UAE by 2019.
