The studio
Builders, makers and project leadsunder one roof.
FMR is a Dubai-headquartered fit-out and technical services contractor — delivering restaurants, mall units, commercial kitchens and food trucks across the UAE — and serving clients into Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East — then maintaining them long after handover.
Our story
Why we keep everything in-house
FMR is led by Firoz Mahmud Rana — the initials above the door. His own career runs to more than 400 projects across the UAE and the GCC, delivered in previous roles as well as here, and that experience is what the business is built on.
Fit-out, MEP, commercial kitchens, joinery and maintenance sit inside one business at FMR. Rather than subcontract the hard parts, we built the disciplines ourselves — a team of 25 to 30 in-house civil engineers, MEP specialists, fabricators, masons, carpenters, painters and welders, and a 3,000 sq ft joinery and stainless steel fabrication workshop in Sharjah, where counters, cladding and bespoke furniture are made and pre-assembled before they reach site. One contract, one programme, one team answerable for the result.
That matters most in hospitality, where a mall handover date is fixed and a kitchen has to pass Civil Defence before it can trade. Submittals and approvals are run in-house alongside the build rather than chased afterwards — Dubai Municipality, Dubai and Abu Dhabi Civil Defence, DEWA connections, Food Safety, and the mall and landlord NOCs that decide whether a unit can open at all.
Clients come back. Joe & The Juice trusted us with Dubai Festival City and then Marina Mall. Zafran brought us back for Dubai Hills Mall. Dave's Hot Chicken went from a Dubai food truck to their Yas Mall store.
What we stand for
The principles behind every build
One point of accountability
Design, engineering, joinery and build sit under one contract — so there is never a gap for quality or programme to fall through.
Finish is non-negotiable
We obsess over reveals, shadow gaps and grain. The detail you specify is the detail you get at handover.
Programme you can trust
Transparent reporting and realistic sequencing. We'd rather promise a date we can hit than one you want to hear.
Built to outlast us
We build for the long life of the space, not the photo on handover day — and we answer the phone long after.
