Villa Renovation FAQ

A full villa renovation ranges from AED 150,000 to AED 1,500,000+, depending on villa size, scope, material quality, and community. A 3-bed refresh starts around AED 150,000. A luxury 5-bed transformation in Palm Jumeirah or Emirates Hills can exceed AED 1,000,000. Kitchen renovations start from AED 45,000 and bathrooms from AED 35,000.

Material quality is the biggest factor — Italian marble costs 3-4x more than quality porcelain. Other drivers: scope (cosmetic vs structural), villa size, design complexity, and whether the company uses vague "allowances" or itemises every material. Always ask for a line-by-line breakdown. If a quote doesn't specify exact materials, you're comparing apples to oranges.

With us, no. Our quotes itemise every material, labour cost, and permit fee. Permits, developer NOCs, waste disposal, and project management are all included. The only costs that change are if you choose to upgrade materials or add scope — and we quote those changes before proceeding. With other companies, watch for: vague "allowances," excluded permits, unlisted waste disposal, and surprise "variation orders."

Milestone-based: 10% on signing, 30% after demolition, 40% at finishing stage, 20% at handover. You only pay as work completes to your satisfaction. No large upfront deposits. This protects you — if work stops, your money isn't sitting in someone else's account. See our full pricing breakdown.

Yes. Tell us your budget and we design around it. We can adjust material selections — quality porcelain instead of marble, for example — to hit your number without compromising workmanship. We'll show you options at different price points so you make an informed decision. We'd rather be honest about what's possible than overpromise.

Full villa: 8-16 weeks. Kitchen: 4-8 weeks. Bathroom: 3-6 weeks. Pool: 4-8 weeks. Timelines depend on scope, developer approval speed, and material lead times. We lock timelines in the contract and provide daily WhatsApp updates. In 800+ projects, our average delivery is within 5 days of the contracted date.

For partial renovations (single bathroom, kitchen), usually yes. For full villa renovations, we recommend temporary accommodation — there'll be dust, noise, and disrupted utilities. Many clients renovate during summer while they travel. They leave Dubai and return to a transformed home.

Summer (June-August) is ideal — most families travel, so we work without disrupting your routine. Pre-Eid is popular for hosting. Post-handover season is important for new villa fit-outs. Ramadan can affect working hours but we plan schedules around it. The worst time? Trying to rush a renovation during winter social season when you want to use the villa.

Timelines are locked contractually. Delays can occur from developer approvals (outside our control) or client-requested scope changes. We communicate proactively — you'll never be left wondering. If we cause a delay, we own it and resolve it. Transparency is non-negotiable.

Changes happen — and that's fine. Any scope or material change is documented as a variation order with a clear cost (or credit) before we proceed. You always know the financial impact upfront. No changes without your written approval. No surprises.

No. Every trade — tiling, painting, joinery, glass and aluminium, plumbing, electrical — is handled by our in-house team. This gives us full control over quality, scheduling, and communication. When a company subcontracts, they're essentially a middleman — and you lose direct accountability.

We source directly from manufacturers — no middlemen markup. Options range from quality porcelain and engineered stone to imported Italian marble, natural stone, and premium European fixtures. We present options at different price points. Every material is specified by name, brand, and cost in your quote — no vague "allowances."

Yes. After site visit and design consultation, we create 3D visualisations so you see exactly what your space will look like. This is included at no extra charge. You approve the design, we execute it. No guesswork, no "let's see how it turns out."

All work comes with a 1-year written craftsmanship warranty. If anything we've installed fails due to our workmanship, we fix it at no charge. Material warranties from manufacturers (taps, appliances, etc.) are separate and typically longer. We stand behind everything we build.

Daily inspections by our site supervisor. Detailed quality checklists at each stage. Daily WhatsApp photos so you see progress in real time. Before handover, a comprehensive snagging walkthrough with you to catch anything that needs attention. Our reputation depends on every single project.

Most renovations require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the developer and sometimes Dubai Municipality approval. Structural modifications, facade changes, and pool works always require permits. We handle all of this as part of our service — no additional charge, no headaches for you.

Yes — all developer approvals including Emaar, Nakheel, Dubai Properties, Meraas, Damac, and every other major developer. NOC applications, plan submissions, authority inspections, final sign-offs — all handled by our team. We know the requirements for every community.

All villa communities: Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Al Barari, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Arabian Ranches 1/2/3, Dubai Hills, Damac Hills, The Villa, Victory Heights, Springs, Meadows, The Lakes, JVC, JVT, Al Barsha, Mirdif, Nad Al Sheba, Al Furjan, Mudon, Tilal Al Ghaf, District One, and more.

Typically 1-3 weeks, depending on the developer and scope of work. Emaar is usually fastest (5-10 working days). Nakheel can take longer. Structural modifications or facade changes take longer than interior-only work. We submit approvals early and manage the process to minimise delays to your timeline.
