FPG
The Permit Reality
Where most fit outs lose weeks.
F&B fit out in Dubai runs through three permit chains: Dubai Municipality (building and food safety), Civil Defence (fire and life safety), and Food Safety (operational license). Most contractors run the build first and chase permits after. We run permits in parallel from week one.
The difference is opening dates. F&B operators measure success in days — every week of delay is rent paid on a closed venue. We have shipped F&B venues on date because permits cleared on date.
