NoVi is a fit out company in Riyadh for businesses that cannot afford a late opening. We design the space, draw it for the landlord and the authorities, price it from a bill of quantities and deliver partitions, ceilings, MEP, joinery and finishes on one programme, with one team answerable for all of it.
In Riyadh we designed Hassan Café, a 400 m² F&B interior with FF&E, lighting and custom joinery, and our architects worked on the office tower and retail podium of Sumou Al Shabab. Among the many fit-out and finishing companies in Riyadh, we stand out for design and delivery under one ISO 9001:2015 system, backed by an HSE compliance certificate under Saudi GOSI occupational safety and health requirements.

Why Riyadh businesses choose NoVi for fit-out
Design and delivery in one contract
No gap between the designer's intent and the contractor's price: the team that draws your space also builds it.
Approvals planned early
Landlord manuals, Civil Defense and Saudi Building Code requirements are built into the drawings, not discovered on site.
F&B and hospitality know-how
Cafés, restaurants and hotel interiors in Riyadh and Egypt have taught us kitchen flows, exhaust routes and durable finishes.
Quality and safety on site
Stage inspections under ISO 9001:2015, HSE procedures and documented snagging before handover.

Office, restaurant and retail fit-out in Riyadh
Offices. Regional headquarters and growing companies around Al Olaya and the KAFD area need workplaces that support hybrid work, host clients well and reflect the brand. We plan meeting rooms, focus areas and hospitality points, then coordinate acoustic ceilings, AV and MEP changes with building management. See our office fit-out approach.
Restaurants and cafés. Kitchen layout, exhaust and fresh air, grease management, fire suppression and seating capacity decide whether a unit can open on time. We resolve them in the first layout, then design the counter, lighting and seating that make guests return, as we did at Hassan Café. More on restaurant and café design.
Retail and showrooms. Mall units follow the landlord's fit-out manual, restricted working hours and inspection gates. We draw to the manual from day one and plan storefront, display joinery and lighting around the product.

Commercial fit-out and interior projects
In Riyadh, Hassan Café (400 m²) combined interior design, FF&E, lighting, custom joinery and branding support, and Sumou Al Shabab gave our architects a 45+ storey office tower and a three-storey retail podium to plan. Elsewhere in our portfolio, the Qatari Diar VIP Sales Office (330 m²) was a full interior and exterior renovation delivered as design and build, and a 160 m² restaurant and coffee shop in Sheikh Zayed, Egypt, covered finishing, electro-mechanical and light-current works.

What drives fit-out cost in Riyadh
Every fit-out is priced from its own drawings and a BOQ in SAR. These are the items that move the number for each type of space.
| Space | What moves the number |
|---|---|
| Office (Cat A to Cat B) | Share of enclosed rooms, AV, acoustic ceilings, furniture |
| Restaurant or café | Kitchen and exhaust scope, fire suppression, bespoke counters and seating |
| Retail store or showroom | Handover condition, storefront, display joinery and lighting |
How your price is built: site survey, then the design you approve, then a BOQ priced item by item in SAR, then a fixed quotation before work starts. We do not publish per-m² prices.
Read how a project moves from brief to handover in our commercial fit-out guide, then book a site survey for a price built on your unit.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what clients ask us before a site survey. Not covered here? Ask the team directly.
Ask the teamHow is the cost of an office fit-out calculated in Riyadh?
From your floor, not from a market average. After the survey and design we price a BOQ in SAR and confirm it in a fixed quotation. The Cat A condition, the share of enclosed rooms, AV and furniture move the figure most.
What does a café or restaurant in Riyadh need before it can open?
Typically a Balady activity licence, Civil Defense approval of fire systems and escape routes, and the landlord's sign-off. The kitchen, exhaust and fire suppression design must satisfy all three, so we coordinate them from the first layout.
Who submits the Balady and Civil Defense applications?
We prepare the drawings and documents and coordinate with the licensed engineering office and the landlord. Which party files each application is written into the scope before work starts.
Can you work to a Riyadh mall's fit-out manual and night hours?
Yes. We draw to the landlord's manual, register our team for site access and plan noisy works inside the permitted hours, which are written into the programme.
Can you roll out a franchise or brand concept in Riyadh?
Yes. We adapt the brand book to the unit, local codes and the landlord's rules, and keep a record of approved materials so later branches are faster to deliver.
How do you manage health and safety on Riyadh sites?
Our sites follow documented HSE procedures, and we hold an HSE compliance certificate under Saudi GOSI occupational safety and health requirements, alongside ISO 9001:2015 quality control.
