Lebanon serviceRenovation, refurbishment and fit-out coordination for commercial spaces in Beirut and across Lebanon.

Scope

Renovate the space without ignoring the building behind it.

Commercial refurbishment is not only finishes. Existing structure, MEP capacity, landlord conditions, authority requirements, access, procurement and business continuity can determine whether the programme works.

01

Existing-condition assessment

Review available drawings, site conditions, retained elements, visible defects and constraints before finalizing the renovation scope.

02

Engineering & MEP coordination

Check power, cooling, ventilation, plumbing, fire/life-safety and other building interfaces relevant to the proposed use and fit-out.

03

Scope & design coordination

Align architecture, interiors, engineering, landlord requirements and execution information into one coordinated renovation scope.

04

Budget & procurement planning

Separate early decisions, long-lead selections, contractor packages and material procurement from items that can remain flexible.

05

Phasing & business continuity

Plan access, shutdowns, noisy work, protected routes, temporary arrangements and sequencing when the building or adjacent areas remain active.

06

Fit-out & construction delivery

Coordinate demolition, enabling works, technical trades, finishes, joinery, equipment interfaces, snagging and handover.

Working method

Survey, define, coordinate, deliver.

The renovation strategy should be based on what exists, what must stay operational and what the new commercial use demands from the building.

01

Assess the asset

Review existing conditions, available capacity, constraints, landlord rules, access and business requirements.

02

Define the scope

Separate retained, removed, repaired, upgraded and new work so pricing and responsibility are clear.

03

Coordinate before site

Resolve design, MEP, procurement and sequencing decisions that would otherwise become site delays.

04

Deliver & hand over

Execute in planned phases, close defects, test relevant systems and prepare the space for occupation or reopening.

Typical outputs

A renovation package built for decisions and execution.

Commercial clients need a clear path from idea to reopening. The outputs below are organized to reduce surprises between design, procurement and site work.

Existing-condition brief

Known conditions, constraints, retained items, investigation needs and early risks.

Renovation scope matrix

What stays, what changes, who is responsible and which items need further confirmation.

MEP / technical coordination

Requirements and interfaces for power, HVAC, plumbing, fire systems and specialist equipment as applicable.

Procurement tracker

Selections, approvals, orders, lead times and required-on-site dates for critical materials and equipment.

Phasing / shutdown plan

Sequence, access, temporary arrangements and required closures for work in operating environments.

Handover checklist

Snags, testing, documentation, cleaning, equipment interfaces and opening-readiness actions.

Restaurants, retail, offices and other commercial uses can have very different technical and authority requirements. The scope should be defined around the actual property and intended use rather than a generic fit-out checklist.

When to engage us

Start before the opening date becomes the design brief.

Renovation programmes become fragile when lease dates, procurement, technical upgrades and construction are planned independently. Early coordination protects the sequence.

Before signing off the concept

When the intended layout or use may require MEP upgrades, structural intervention, specialist equipment or landlord approval.

Before contractor pricing

When the existing conditions and scope boundaries need to be documented so quotations are comparable and exclusions are visible.

Before or during an operating renovation

When work must be phased around customers, staff, tenants, deliveries, shutdown windows or retained areas.

Questions

Commercial renovation questions.

Do you renovate restaurants, shops and offices in Beirut?

Yehya Group can support commercial renovation and fit-out requirements for offices, retail, restaurants and other commercial spaces, subject to project scope, property conditions, design status and required specialist systems.

Can you assess the building before we finalize the design?

Yes. Early review of existing MEP capacity, visible conditions, access, retained systems and building constraints can prevent a concept from being developed around assumptions that are expensive to change later.

Can renovation work be phased while a business remains open?

In some properties, yes. The feasibility depends on separation, access, safety, noise, dust, utilities, shutdown needs and the specific business operation. These constraints should be planned before construction begins.

Can Yehya Group handle both engineering and construction for the renovation?

Yes, where an integrated appointment is appropriate and responsibilities are defined. Engineering, project management, technical services and general contracting can also be engaged separately depending on the client’s team and procurement strategy.
