Office Fit-Out · Riyadh

Office fit-out that reads as HQ from the reception desk to the executive floor.

Darb designs and builds office space across Riyadh — full-floor tenancies, HQ pavilions, executive suites, boardrooms, and open-plan floors. The joinery on your reception, the millwork behind your meeting-rooms, the finish on the executive floor — all built in our workshop, not outsourced to whoever the general contractor found cheapest.

Built for three office profiles

One team, three office scales.

Same in-house craft across every scale — the difference is the site logistics, not the finish quality.

01

Full-floor HQ builds

For enterprises taking a full-floor tenancy or a multi-floor pavilion — reception, executive floor, boardrooms, open-plan zones, and the wellness / phone-booth infrastructure the modern office needs.

  • Full-floor space planning + interior architecture
  • Executive floor + private-office joinery
  • Boardrooms, meeting rooms, huddle zones
  • Phone booths, wellness rooms, café / pantry
02

Suite + partial floor tenancies

For enterprises taking a suite or partial floor in a Riyadh business tower — clean build within the landlord's tenant guide, reception focal point, meeting rooms, and open-plan seating.

  • Tenant-guide compliant partition + ceiling systems
  • Reception focal point + waiting area
  • Meeting rooms sized to team scale
  • Open-plan seating + break-out
03

Occupied-floor refresh

For enterprises refreshing an existing office without shutting it down — floor-by-floor or zone-by-zone phasing, after-hours delivery, staff kept operational throughout.

  • Phased delivery plan (floor / zone / room)
  • After-hours + weekend build windows
  • Dust and noise containment for occupied zones
  • Rolling handover — no full shutdown

How it works

From site brief to move-in ready in 10-12 weeks.

This is the honest range for a mid-sized office fit-out (400-1000m²). HQ pavilions and executive-heavy scopes sit at the top; suite tenancies sit at the bottom.

01

Site visit + brief

We visit the space, take measurements, and pull the landlord's tenant guide. Rough budget bracket returned within 48 hours of the visit.

02

Space planning + concept

Space plan + two concept directions + 3D visualisation. One direction gets picked, we detail it into full construction drawings and a materials + finishes spec.

03

Permits + build

Landlord approval + municipality permit filing in parallel with fabrication. On-site build starts as soon as clearances land — MEP first, then partitions, ceilings, floors, joinery, finish, furniture.

04

Snag + move-in

Snag walkthrough 5 days before handover, punch-list clearance, keys handed over. Furniture placed, IT infrastructure ready, move-in day supported by our team.

FAQ

What Riyadh office clients ask us first.

How much space per employee should we plan for?

Riyadh corporate norms sit at 7-10m² per open-plan seat, 12-15m² per private office, and about 30% of total floor to meeting rooms + collaboration. Financial and legal sectors trend larger; tech and marketing trend tighter. We plan against your actual team + growth curve, not a generic ratio.

Can you work within a specific landlord's tenant guide?

Every premium Riyadh office tower has one, and we've probably read yours. Tenant guides govern the partition system, MEP tap-in points, ceiling grid, and permitted finishes; we plan against your landlord's guide from the concept phase, not from the built moodboard.

Do you fit out executive floors as well as open-plan?

Both, usually in the same project. Executive floors get bespoke joinery — private office desks and credenzas, boardroom tables with integrated cable management, feature walls behind the CEO office. Open-plan floors get systems furniture with occasional bespoke moments (reception, cafeteria, phone booths).

What about acoustic performance on open-plan floors?

Real question in Riyadh corporate — open-plan floors get loud. We build in acoustic performance from the ceiling spec (mineral tile vs baffle), the wall system (insulated drywall vs glass with acoustic film), and the furniture layer (upholstered seating pods, phone booths, acoustic panels). Target is 40-45 STC on partitions and NRC 0.75+ on ceilings.

Can you build for LEED / WELL / SASO certification?

Yes — LEED and WELL projects need material choices, MEP performance, and documentation set from the start. If certification is a target, we plan for it in the concept phase; retro-fitting a build for certification after the fact is expensive.

Do you handle furniture supply as part of the fit-out?

Yes — full furniture supply on request, from systems (Steelcase / Herman Miller / Vitra category) through mid-market (Nowy Styl / Actiu) to bespoke. Bespoke furniture is built in our own workshop; branded systems come through vetted distributors we've worked with for years.

How do you handle IT infrastructure and cabling?

Cable trays, containment, and floor-boxes we install; the active network equipment and structured cabling termination we coordinate with your IT vendor or a partner cabling firm. Everything ready for your IT team's install day.

What sits inside the 90-day defects period?

Anything faulty in the build — a door that sticks, a light that fails, a joinery joint that opens, a leaky tap — returned to us at no cost within 90 days of handover. Accidental damage, misuse, and third-party works are outside scope.
