Talk to a contractor, not a call centre

Every enquiry to KARANI GROUP is reviewed by the team that would actually deliver the project. Whether you are budgeting a villa in Dubai, planning a retail rollout across UAE malls, refurbishing an occupied office or specifying joinery for a hotel in Mumbai, the first conversation covers scope, programme, budget range and the approvals your project will need.

KARANI GROUP was established in Dubai in 1986 and today delivers construction, interior fit-out, bespoke joinery, restoration and facility management across the UAE and India. More than 600 completed projects and over 300 professionals sit behind every programme we commit to, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified management systems and two owned joinery facilities — 35,000 sq ft in Dubai and 18,500 sq ft in Mumbai.

What to send with your enquiry

The fastest route to an accurate proposal is a clear brief. Useful inputs include the location and size of the space, drawings or a landlord fit-out guide if available, your intended handover date, the finishes or brand standards you must meet, and whether the premises will remain occupied or trading during the works.

If drawings are not ready, we can start from a site visit and a measured survey. For tenders, we accept BOQs and consultant specifications and respond with a priced submission, method statement and indicative programme.

Services you can enquire about

Enquiries typically cover construction and civil works, interior fit-out for offices, retail and restaurants, bespoke joinery manufacturing, restoration and refurbishment, and facility management.

Working with a single-point contractor removes the most common source of delay on fit-out and construction projects: unclear accountability between designer, main contractor, joinery supplier and MEP subcontractor. One KARANI GROUP team owns design coordination, procurement, authority submissions, site management, testing and commissioning, snagging and handover documentation.

Regions we cover

From Dubai we deliver across Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE, including mall units, free-zone offices and villa communities. Location pages are available for Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. From Mumbai we deliver across India, with a dedicated page for Mumbai construction and fit-out. Projects in Oman are delivered from the UAE operation.

Multinational clients use the dual presence to hold a single design standard across both markets while we manage local regulation, labour and supply chains on the ground.

What happens next

After the initial call we arrange a site visit, agree the scope and issue a proposal with a priced breakdown and programme. On award we mobilise, submit for authority and landlord approvals, lock long-lead procurement and begin works against a baseline programme with weekly reporting.

Handover includes a joint snagging walkthrough, testing and commissioning records, as-built drawings, warranties and operation and maintenance manuals, followed by a defects-liability period. Our facility management division can then take on planned preventive and reactive maintenance so the asset keeps performing as delivered.

Our delivery process, stage by stage

Every engagement covering your enquiry in the UAE and India follows the same six stages, so owners, tenants and consultants always know what happens next. Stage one is discovery: a site visit, measured survey, review of existing drawings or landlord guidelines, and a clear statement of the outcome you need and the date you need it by.

Stage two is design coordination and costing. We convert the brief into drawings, a finishes schedule and a priced breakdown, flagging any element that carries long procurement lead time or an approval dependency. Stage three is approvals and procurement: submissions to the relevant authorities, landlord or building management, plus purchase orders released against a specification that has been locked to prevent late substitution.

Stage four is site execution against a baseline programme, with weekly progress reporting, documented inspections and controlled variation management. Stage five is testing, commissioning and snagging. Stage six is handover — as-built drawings, warranties, O&M manuals and a defects-liability period, with the option to continue into a planned maintenance contract.

Budgeting and cost certainty

Cost overruns on your enquiry almost always trace back to three things: an incomplete specification at tender, scope added after mobilisation, and site conditions discovered once demolition starts. We reduce all three by pricing against a defined finishes schedule, recording variations formally before work proceeds, and carrying out opening-up surveys on refurbishment scopes before the budget is fixed.

A realistic budget separates base build and structural works, finishes, MEP modifications, bespoke joinery, loose furniture and equipment, authority and landlord fees, professional fees, and a contingency of five to ten per cent depending on how much of the existing condition is unknown. Presenting the numbers this way lets an owner make informed trade-offs instead of blanket cuts.

Because bespoke joinery is manufactured in our own facilities — 35,000 sq ft in Dubai and 18,500 sq ft in Mumbai — a significant share of the value stays inside the group rather than being marked up through a subcontract chain.

Programme risk and how we manage it

The critical path for your enquiry is usually set by approvals and long-lead procurement rather than by site labour. We identify those items in the first two weeks, submit early, and track them on a procurement log reviewed weekly alongside the construction programme.

In the UAE and India, seasonal factors, permit windows, restricted working hours in occupied or trading premises, and delivery access all shape sequencing. Planning for them at mobilisation is far cheaper than accelerating later, and where acceleration is genuinely needed we set out the options and their cost implications rather than absorbing silent delay.

Progress reporting is factual: percentage complete by trade against baseline, procurement status, open RFIs, approved and pending variations, HSE observations and a forward two-week look-ahead.

Sustainability, safety and workforce standards

Environmental performance is managed under our ISO 14001 certified system: waste segregation and diversion from landfill on site, low-VOC paints and adhesives where specified, responsibly sourced timber for joinery, energy-efficient lighting and HVAC specification, and reuse of existing elements on refurbishment projects wherever condition permits.

Safety is managed under ISO 45001 with documented risk assessments and method statements, permit-to-work controls for hot works and confined spaces, site induction for every worker, daily toolbox talks and recorded supervision. Our workforce is directly employed and housed to standards we audit ourselves, which is a material factor for clients whose own procurement policies assess labour welfare.
