Papparoti (Intercity Mall Fit-Out Project)
Place: Dubai, UAE (Executed in another emirate, 150 km away)
Year: 2025
About the Project
This Papparoti outlet was located in a mall more than 150 km away from Dubai, transforming the project into a logistically demanding assignment. The scope included installing a decorative gypsum ceiling with detailed patterns and completing all tile flooring, all under tight deadlines and restrictive working hours. Limited local material availability added further complexity.
Mall regulations introduced another constraint: all noisy, dusty, or impactful work could only be done at night. This transformed the execution environment into a high-pressure, time-sensitive challenge. Each night became a sprint — a fully optimized shift where every task had to be completed with accuracy and without the luxury of extending into daytime hours.
Despite this, ZARCO® installed a highly decorative gypsum ceiling with intricate patterns and curved elements requiring specialized craftspeople. The ceiling was designed to be visually striking, forming a key aesthetic component of the Papparoti brand experience. Alongside this, our team installed floor tiles across the unit, ensuring perfect alignment, leveling, and finishing despite the time limitations.
Once the primary works were finished, the snag list stage — typically a simple cleanup and touch-up phase — became its own challenge. Every minor correction meant another 300 km round trip. Whether it was adjusting a gypsum edge, rectifying a small alignment issue, or addressing a finish inconsistency, our team traveled across emirate lines repeatedly to ensure the project reached perfection.
The project was completed successfully, meeting all time, quality, and aesthetic requirements. Despite the distance and demanding conditions, ZARCO® delivered a polished interior that matched the brand’s identity—turning the experience into a milestone of dedication and adaptability for the team.
