VTR IT designs, supplies, and installs complete IT infrastructure for new offices across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the UAE. From structured cabling and networking to Microsoft 365 and CCTV. One contractor, one AED quote, no coordination headaches
A poorly planned office IT setup in the UAE creates problems that compound for years. Inadequate cabling capacity, a Wi-Fi system that cannot handle 50 concurrent users, or a firewall configured for 10 people in a team of 80 – these are the most common and expensive mistakes UAE businesses make when opening a new office.
The UAE commercial real estate market is moving fast. New offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah typically have a narrow fit-out window before business operations begin. VTR IT coordinates all IT infrastructure work within your contractor schedule – cabling, networking, server room, wireless, and telephony – so you occupy on time and IT-ready.

VTR IT completes new office IT setups in parallel with your fit-out works. Cabling is installed during the early fit-out phase (typically 2-5 working days depending on size). Rack build, networking, and configuration take a further 3-5 days. Microsoft 365 and device setup can be completed in 1-2 days before occupation. For a 30-person office, the complete IT installation from cabling to handover takes approximately 10-15 working days total, coordinated within your contractor programme.
