What is design & build?

Design and build means one contractor holds responsibility for both designing your space and constructing it, under a single contract — rather than an architect and a separate contractor working across a gap that someone has to manage. Davies Group UAE has operated this way since 1997: our own design office produces the concept and technical drawings, our Ras Al Khor workshop manufactures the joinery, and our own site team installs it. No handoffs, no subcontracted fit-out, one team accountable from first sketch to final handover.

We're Aldar-approved and bring the same model to Abu Dhabi that's delivered 300+ projects in Dubai — whether that's a commercial fit-out, a residential project, or the retail shopfits that make up a large part of our Abu Dhabi portfolio.

Also Shopfitters Across Abu Dhabi

Retail shopfitting is part of
how we design & build.

If you're specifically looking for a shopfitter in Abu Dhabi, this is exactly the same team and the same model — retail and F&B fit-out is simply design and build applied to a mall unit rather than a villa or office. We're Aldar-approved and have delivered shopfits across Yas Mall, Al Wahda Mall and Al Zeina, for brands including Owndays, Cinnabon, Oakley and Animal — every project designed and built in-house, the same standard as our Dubai portfolio.
