Villa & townhouse renovation — Dubai

Know the scope. Know the price basis. Then we build.

اعرف نطاق العمل وأساس التكلفة أولاً، ثم نبدأ التنفيذ.

If you are about to spend serious money on the home you live in, the hardest part is not choosing a finish — it is knowing what you are actually buying. We renovate owner-occupied villas and townhouses in ten Dubai communities, and we put the scope, the price basis and the approval path in writing before you commit to any of it.

What this page covers

Before anything is demolished you hold a costed bill of quantities, written assumptions and exclusions, a named approval path and a payment schedule tied to work you can inspect. Our position is proof before promise: we do not open with a headline price or a completion date, because neither means anything without the record underneath it.

How we work

  • Dubai villas and townhouses onlyWe work on villas and townhouses owned and occupied by the people who commission the work.
  • Written scope before priceThe existing condition, the requested work, and what is deliberately included and excluded — written down before a figure is attached to any of it.
  • Exclusions stated in writingWhat the price deliberately does not cover, visible before you commit rather than after.

Before commitment

Three things are defined before you commit

  1. Scope

    The existing condition, the requested work, and what is deliberately included and excluded — written down before a figure is attached to any of it.

  2. Price basis

    Measured items with quantities and rates, plus the assumptions, allowances and provisional sums that sit behind each figure, so a total is traceable to the work it pays for.

  3. Approval path

    Which permissions the work depends on, who must issue them, and which items cannot start until they exist. Approvals vary by property and by work; we identify yours rather than assume them.

How the record is built, stage by stage →

Evidence

The part you will never see again

Waterproofing, screeds, first-fix routes and structural interfaces stop being inspectable the moment they are covered. So they are recorded first.

How it works

One journey. Three stages.

Each stage ends with a record you can inspect before the next one begins. A programme is project-specific, so no stage carries a duration claim.

01

Discovery

Your inquiry is reviewed, then the property and the requested work are surveyed and written up. Review is not automatic acceptance.

Inquiry review → site and scope

02

Planning

Scope, bill of quantities, assumptions, exclusions, allowances, approval dependencies and the written-change route are defined together.

Price basis → approval path

03

Delivery

Work proceeds through the applicable approvals in inspectable stages, with accepted written changes, hidden-work records and completion evidence retained.

Controlled build → completion record

How a project runs, stage by stage →

Cream handleless kitchen with peninsula, under-cabinet lighting, herringbone floor.

Services

Three published services

Three services carry the published scope, because the questions an owner needs answered are genuinely different in each case.

01

Villa renovation

Renovation of a standalone villa: layout, services, wet areas, joinery and finishes, and structural change where capability and approvals allow.

02

Townhouse renovation

Renovation inside a townhouse, where a shared structure, community rules and constrained access decide the programme.

03

Residential interior fit-out

Interior fit-out to a defined specification: partitions and ceilings, joinery, flooring, services coordination and finishing.

Documented controls

What you receive with Rawdha

This is a one-column record of documented controls. It is not a comparison with anybody else, and it contains no rating, award, count, partner mark or press mark.

  1. Site and scope diagnosis

    A physical survey and a written statement of condition, constraints and the work areas the project addresses.

  2. Costed bill of quantities

    Scope broken into measured items with quantities and rates, so a total is traceable to the work it pays for.

  3. Written assumptions

    What the pricing takes for granted about access, existing services, substrates, working hours and anything unverified.

  4. Written exclusions

    What the price deliberately does not cover, stated plainly before you commit rather than discovered mid-project.

  5. Allowances and provisional sums

    Items that cannot yet be measured or selected are carried as named budgets and reconciled against actual cost.

  6. Approval path

    The permissions the work depends on and who must issue them, written into the plan before mobilisation.

  7. Controlled payments

    A payment schedule tied to defined, inspectable stages rather than to the calendar.

  8. Written changes

    Every variation issued in writing with its scope, cost and programme effect, and carried out only once accepted.

  9. Hidden-work evidence

    Work that will be permanently concealed recorded before it is closed up, so its condition stays verifiable.

  10. Completion evidence

    A compiled record of what was built, what changed and what was inspected, handed over at the end.

Start here

Start a scope review

Describe the property, the community, the rooms involved and the outcome you want. That is enough to begin a review.

What happens after you write: your message is reviewed against the property type, the community and the work we take on. If it is not for us we tell you plainly. If it is, we come back with what a survey would need to establish and propose a date — and no figure is issued before that survey.
