Division 02 · Commercial & Hospitality Fit-Out
Every facility that is not a hospital
Hotels, restaurants, offices, wedding halls, schools, gardens and car parks — and the aluminium, glass and furniture that go into them. One division of KRM with its own engineering department, its own workshops and an in-house team that stays after handover.
The short answer
In short
KRM Global’s Commercial & Hospitality Fit-Out division designs, builds, furnishes and maintains hotels, restaurants and cafés, offices, wedding halls and majlis, schools, landscapes and car parking shades across Abu Dhabi and the UAE. Aluminium and glass works — curtain walls, windows, doors, acoustic and glazed partitions — and custom-made or imported European furniture come from KRM’s own workshops and procurement department. A full engineering department covers HSE, design, estimation, procurement, planning and QA/QC; the works are monitored weekly and corrected after handover by KRM’s in-house team. Projects range from a single room to multi-building government contracts.

Why one division for all of them
Different buildings. The same discipline.
A hotel floor, a school wing, a wedding hall and an executive office have more in common than it seems: approvals, a fixed opening date, finishes that must last, services that must pass inspection and a client who needs to keep operating while the work is done.
KRM’s Commercial & Hospitality Fit-Out division brings the discipline of our healthcare work to all of them — method statements, inspection requests, weekly reports with photographs, HSE on site — and adds the two things most fit-out contractors subcontract: aluminium and glass fabrication, and furniture.
Both come from inside KRM. The aluminium and glass workshop in Musaffah West 5 (MW5) makes the curtain walls, windows, doors and acoustic partitions. The joinery workshop makes the custom furniture, and the procurement department imports European furniture directly from the manufacturers. One contract, one programme, one team to call afterwards.

A full engineering department
Engineers before the first wall, and after the last one
KRM is not a crew with a van. Behind every site team sits a complete engineering department — the same people on every project, whatever its size.
Health, safety and environment
An HSE officer on every project, risk assessments and method statements, permits to work, toolbox talks and ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 systems.
Design and engineering
Architects, interior designers, MEP engineers and 3D visualisers who take the brief to approved drawings — and prepare the authority submissions.
Estimation and quantity surveying
Estimators and quantity surveyors who price from the drawings, prepare bills of quantities and keep cost and variations under control during the works.
Procurement and imports
A procurement department that sources locally and imports directly from manufacturers — materials, systems and European furniture — with samples and submittals before ordering.
Planning and project management
Programmes, look-aheads and weekly progress reports with photographs, inspection records and cost status shared with the client.
Quality control and document control
Inspection requests before every closed ceiling, material inspections, test certificates, as-built drawings and a complete handover dossier.
Monitored, then maintained
We watch the work every week — and come back after handover
Fit-out is a sequence of hundreds of small decisions. KRM monitors the workflow from the first survey to the last snag, and keeps an in-house corrective team on call after the keys are handed over.
- 01
Survey and brief
Site survey, services tracing and a written brief with the client’s priorities, programme and budget.
- 02
Design, estimate, approve
Concept, 3D views and drawings; a priced bill of quantities; authority and landlord approvals.
- 03
Procure and fabricate
Samples and submittals approved, long-lead items ordered, joinery and aluminium made in our workshops.
- 04
Build and monitor
Daily supervision, HSE inspections, inspection requests, weekly progress reports with photographs and cost status.
- 05
Test, snag, hand over
Testing and commissioning, snagging with the client, deep cleaning, as-built drawings and the handover dossier.
- 06
Aftercare by our own team
Defects-liability visits and corrective works by KRM’s in-house maintenance team — not a subcontractor — with an optional annual maintenance contract.
Any size of project
A single room or a whole complex — the same team, the same standard
Some clients come to KRM with one executive office, a villa garden or a café kiosk. Others bring multi-building government contracts with hundreds of inspection requests. Both get an engineer, a programme, a weekly report and a team that answers the phone after handover.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
What does the Commercial & Hospitality Fit-Out division cover?
Hotels and serviced apartments, restaurants and cafés, offices and headquarters, wedding halls and majlis, schools, landscaping and outdoor works, and car parking shades — plus two specialities that run through all of them: aluminium and glass works from KRM’s own workshop, and furniture that is custom-made in our joinery workshop or imported from European manufacturers.
Does KRM have its own engineering department?
Yes. HSE, design and 3D visualisation, estimation and quantity surveying, procurement, planning and project management, QA/QC and document control are in-house departments that work on every project, from a single office to a multi-building government contract.
How is the work monitored, and what happens after handover?
Daily supervision, HSE inspections and inspection requests during the works, with weekly progress reports with photographs and cost status to the client. After handover, defects-liability and corrective works are done by KRM’s own in-house maintenance team, not a subcontractor, with an optional annual maintenance contract.
Does KRM take small projects?
Yes. A single executive office, a villa garden or car shade, a café kiosk, a replacement shopfront or a furniture package get the same engineer, programme and weekly report as the large contracts.
Which large projects is the division delivering now?
The renovation of two municipal wedding halls in Liwa City and Al Marfaa City for DMT through Asteco, fire and life-safety enhancement at the Al Erteqaa and Al Tafawoq ADEK schools for Asteco and Aldar, and executive office and hospitality interiors in Abu Dhabi.
