- Licence details, insurance and relevant work need checking.
- The same project, explained again. And quotes with different inclusions.
- Available when you need themA suitable contractor also needs capacity for your programme. We confirm availability before you see a name.

Before you begin
A few fair
questions.
Is it really free?
Yes. Your project review, shortlist, one-page comparison and contractor site surveys are free for you. Contractors pay us for qualified introductions. You agree construction costs directly with your chosen contractor.
How many contractors will contact me?
Only the up to three you approve. We send your shortlist first. You choose who receives your details and who visits. We do not circulate your brief to a list of firms.
How do you check contractors?
We check trade licences and Commercial Registration, insurance, Civil Defence experience, references and completed work. Our public 12-point checklist also covers project teams, approvals, specifications, payment terms and handover. We check availability for your project.
Do I have to commit?
No. Receiving a shortlist does not commit you to a meeting or a contract. You decide whether to meet any of the contractors and whether to appoint anyone.
Who signs the contract?
You and your chosen contractor. They are responsible for the construction work under your contract. Qatar Fit Out qualifies projects and makes introductions. We do not carry out construction work or act as a party to your construction contract.
What if the best contractor is fully booked?
We confirm availability before we shortlist anyone. If a strong fit can only start later, we show it with the start date, so you can decide whether to wait.
What if none of them fits?
Tell us what does not fit. We review your brief and look again at no cost to you. You do not have to accept any of the options.
How long does a fit-out take?
Your contractor needs to confirm the programme after reviewing the scope. Design, approvals, procurement, construction and handover each need time. A change to building services or an occupied site can affect the sequence. See our office fit-out guide.
What do I need to prepare?
Have your floor plan or photos, approximate area, preferred start date and a rough budget idea ready. Plans and photos are welcome. If something is missing, submit what you know and we will ask for details on WhatsApp.
Do I need approvals?
Your scope may need landlord consent, Civil Defence approvals and, where applicable, municipal approvals through Baladiya. Ask your contractor to confirm the required approvals, who submits them and which fees are included before work begins. Explore our office fit-out guide.
What are Cat A and Cat B?
Cat A usually means the basic office finish, such as ceilings, floors and building services. Cat B adapts the space for your team with partitions, meeting rooms, workstations and finishes. Cat A and Cat B definitions vary, so agree the exact inclusions. Read more on our office fit-out page.
Which areas do you cover?
We qualify projects in Doha, Lusail, The Pearl, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah and across Qatar. Share your location so we can check suitable contractors and availability.
What happens to my data?
We use your details to qualify your project and prepare your shortlist. Only the up to three contractors you explicitly approve receive your details. Our privacy approach follows Qatar’s Personal Data Privacy Protection Law (PDPPL). See the official PDPPL guidance and our Privacy policy.
Is the estimate a contractor quote?
No. The calculator multiplies the selected area by a rounded Doha office benchmark. Your actual scope needs a site survey and a written contractor quote. These office figures do not price other project types.
What should the contractor’s quote include?
Ask for the scope, materials, inclusions and exclusions, approvals responsibilities, payment milestones, proposed programme and warranties. Compare the same scope across your approved contractors before signing.
