In our workshop
Panel modification and duct fabrication happen before anything reaches site, which keeps site time short and disruption to neighbouring tenants low.
One contractor. Not a chain of subcontractors.
The people who survey your unit are the people who draw it, submit it, install it and come back to maintain it.
A fit-out package in Dubai usually passes through several hands — a designer, a subcontractor for each trade, a supplier for the panel, someone else for commissioning. Every handover between them is a place where a drawing is misread, a date slips or a cost appears.
Xylem keeps that chain short. Since 1999 we have run electrical, plumbing, HVAC and industrial equipment work with our own engineers, draughtsmen, fabricators and technicians, and we are honest about the few stages that sit outside our scope.
It shows up in small, practical ways: a panel change can be made in our own workshop instead of waiting in a supplier's queue, a site decision is taken by our foreman rather than negotiated between three companies, and the team that commissions the system is the team that answers the phone a year later.

01Stage by stage
What our own staff do, from first visit to maintenance.
Seven stages. Where a stage is not ours, we say so at the survey rather than at handover.
01
Survey and load assessment
Our engineer visits the unit, measures it, checks the existing supply and confirms what the space can actually carry — before anything is drawn or priced.
02
Design and drawings
MEP drawings, load calculations and single-line diagrams are produced by our own engineers and coordinated with your interior designer, landlord and mall management.
03
Authority submissions
Electrical submissions are prepared and followed up by our own team, as a DEWA-approved contractor. We tell you at the survey stage which approvals sit with us and which sit with your consultant or landlord.
04
Fabrication
LV panel modification and duct fabrication are carried out by Xylem — not bought in from a third party, so changes on site do not wait on someone else's workshop.
05
Installation
Cabling, containment, pipework, drainage, ducting, FCUs and equipment are installed by our own technicians, working to one programme under one supervisor.
06
Testing and commissioning
Circuits are tested, systems balanced and results documented, so handover is a set of records rather than a promise.
07
Maintenance after handover
The same team returns under an AMC covering restaurants, clinics, offices and individual units — the people who maintain the system are the people who built it.
02Where the work happens
Workshop, site, and the years after handover.
On your site
One supervisor runs the whole package. Decisions that would normally need three companies to agree are made on the spot.
After handover
Planned and reactive maintenance by the same staff, with the drawings and test records already in our hands.

FAQCommon questions
Questions we are asked before a survey.
Something not covered here? Call +971 50 905 2061 or request a site survey.
What does in-house actually mean here?
The people who survey your unit are the people who draw it, submit it, install it and return to maintain it. Design, approvals, fabrication, installation and commissioning are all done by Xylem staff.
Is anything subcontracted?
The trades stay with us. Where a stage is outside our scope — such as authority approval on plumbing and HVAC, or supply of your production equipment — we tell you at the survey rather than at handover.
Who supervises the work on site?
One Xylem supervisor runs the whole package, so decisions that would normally need three companies to agree are made on the spot.
Do you fabricate panels and ducting yourselves?
Yes. LV panel modification and duct fabrication are done in our own workshop before anything reaches site.
