Villa renovation
Renovation of a standalone villa: layout, services, wet areas, joinery and finishes, and structural change where capability and approvals allow.
Services
Renovation and fit-out for homes people actually live in
You are trying to work out which of these is your job, and whether the contractor in front of you actually does that kind of work or is just saying yes.
We work on villas and townhouses owned and occupied by the people who commission the work. That single choice shapes how we survey, how we phase around a family, how we protect the parts of the house nobody is touching, and how we price.
What this page covers
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.
Three routes
Who each service is for
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.
- Villa renovation
- For an owner-occupier of a standalone villa who has room to change the layout and therefore needs the scope fixed before it drifts.
- Townhouse renovation
- For an owner-occupier in a connected property, where a shared structure, community rules and constrained access decide the programme.
- Residential interior fit-out
- For an owner whose design decisions are made and who now needs dimensions, tolerances, interfaces and sequence written down before installation.
Scope boundary
Three different problems, not three price tiers
Scope is set per property. The list below is the range each service works within, never a fixed inclusion list.
Included What is covered
- Focused upgrades. One defined part of the home taken to a finished standard — a kitchen, a bathroom set, a reconfigured room.
- Coordinated multi-area work. Several connected areas renovated together so finishes, joinery and services read as one project.
- Whole-home modernization. The majority of the property addressed in one programme, with services renewal and a consistent specification.
- Major transformation. Substantial change to layout, services and finishes, where sequencing and approvals shape the programme as much as the finish schedule.
- Selective complex or structural work. Accepted only where the work suits our capability and the required approvals can be obtained.
- Outdoor and carport work as an addition to a renovation already in scope, rather than as a standalone offer.
Not included What is deliberately out
- Offices and commercial or B2B fit-out
- Apartments
- Investor flips and resale-turnaround work
- Annual maintenance contracts
- Handyman and small-repair work
Outside our published scope
If your project sits outside this list, contacting us costs you nothing but is unlikely to lead anywhere.
Budget guide
What projects typically cost
Five typical project sizes, with the budget range each one usually falls in. Find the one closest to what you have in mind, then we price your own scope item by item.
-
01
Focused Upgrade
AED 50,000 – 100,000A defined part of the home taken to a finished standard, with the surrounding house protected and left in use.
-
02
Family Refresh
AED 100,000 – 250,000Several connected areas renovated together, coordinated so the result reads as one house rather than a sequence of separate jobs.
-
03
Whole-Home Modernization
AED 250,000 – 500,000The majority of the home addressed in one programme, usually including services renewal, joinery throughout and one consistent finish specification.
-
04
Full Transformation
AED 500,000 – 1,000,000Substantial reworking of layout, services and finishes. At this size the approval path and the construction sequence drive the programme.
-
05
Estate / Structural Transformation
AED 1,000,000+Large or structurally complex projects, subject to capability and approvals. Accepted only where the work suits our capability and the necessary permissions can be obtained.
Before you write
Eligibility and review
- Minimum inquiry
- Inquiry eligibility begins at AED 10,000.
- AED 10,000 – 50,000
- Considered at our discretion. This range is not a sixth formal band and is not part of the published band structure.
- Every inquiry
- Reviewed by our manager and may be declined. Meeting the minimum is not acceptance.
- Prices
- No figure on this website is a quotation or an offer. A price exists only once it is issued to you in writing.
- Planning fees
- There is no published fee schedule for pre-construction work. Commercial fees are decided case by case and confirmed in writing before anything is agreed.
Price basis
Why we talk about the basis, not just the number
A renovation total is only as meaningful as the assumptions underneath it. Two contractors can quote the same figure for materially different work, and the difference usually surfaces halfway through the job.
- Measured items carry a quantity and a rate, so you can see what is counted and what each unit costs.
- Allowances are named where a selection has not been made yet, and reconciled against the actual chosen item.
- Provisional sums cover work whose extent cannot be established until something is opened up. They are stated as provisional, not buried in a total.
- Assumptions record what the price takes for granted: access, existing service capacity, substrate condition, working hours and anything a survey could not confirm.
- Exclusions record what the price deliberately does not cover, so the gap is visible before you commit.
When a condition turns out to differ from a written assumption, that is a change — and a change goes through the written variation route with its cost and time effect stated before the work happens.
Approvals
Approvals vary by property and by work
We identify the applicable path during planning and write it into the programme, including who must issue each permission and which work items cannot start without it. We do not claim a permission will be granted, we do not claim pre-existing approval status anywhere, and we do not publish a date for something outside our control.
Where to go next
Areas
The ten Dubai communities we work in, and what we confirm for each property rather than assume.
How It Works
Discovery, Planning and Delivery, and the six stages underneath them.
Gallery
The record a project must complete before it is published, and the dated slots that stay pending until it does.
By trade
Individual trades, each with its own page
Where an inquiry concerns one part of the home rather than the whole of it, these pages set out what the work involves, what the survey has to establish and what moves the figure.
Kitchen renovation
Services, joinery, worktops and appliance integration in the densest room in the house.
Bathroom renovation
Waterproofing, falls and first-fix services recorded before the tiling covers them.
Wardrobes and cabinetry
Fitted joinery set out to the surveyed room rather than to a catalogue dimension.
Flooring, tiling and ceilings
Substrate preparation and setting out, plus the services coordination above a ceiling.
Civil and structural upgrades
Openings, beams and civil works, where the approval path usually leads the programme.
Villa extension
Feasibility against the permitted envelope established before any scope is priced.
