Two kinds of Abu Dhabi villa, two different renovations.
Renovating on Saadiyat or Yas usually means upgrading a sound Aldar villa: better joinery, a reworked kitchen, a proper majlis separation and outdoor space that copes with coastal exposure. The envelope stays as the consultant approved it, so the work is internal and detail-driven. Al Bateen and older Khalifa City villas are the opposite job — full re-servicing, replacing distribution boards and pipework that predate the current regulations, opening up compartmented ground floors, and re-waterproofing roofs that have taken thirty summers.
We keep a permanent crew in Abu Dhabi rather than shuttling teams from Dubai, which is what makes daily supervision and same-week snagging possible in the capital. Pricing follows an invasive survey: ceilings opened, boards tested, roof falls checked. Coastal villas also get a corrosion assessment, because salt exposure on Saadiyat decides which fixings and finishes are worth specifying.
Permanent Abu Dhabi team
Directly employed crews based in Abu Dhabi, supervised daily rather than visited twice a week.
One fixed price
A single contract sum itemised room by room, with no provisional sums quietly inflating at the end.
Approvals handled
We prepare and lodge every Abu Dhabi permit and community approval your villa renovation needs.
12-month warranty
Workmanship warranted for twelve months, attended by the same team that carried out the work.

Approvals and permits in Abu Dhabi
Structural, wet-area and MEP changes in Abu Dhabi require an Abu Dhabi Municipality modification permit, with ADDC involved wherever supply, metering or disconnection is affected. Saadiyat and Yas villas need the community consultant's review before ADM will process the file, and Aldar's contractor registration must be current. We prepare, lodge and chase all of it, and the approval window appears on your dated programme.
- Abu Dhabi Municipality (ADM) modification and completion permits
- ADDC applications for supply upgrades, meter changes and disconnection
- Island community approvals — Aldar, Modon and consultant sign-off on Saadiyat and Yas
- Civil defence clearances where fire systems or gas lines are altered
Materials and finishes we work with
- Sika & Fosroc waterproofing systems

- Knauf gypsum systems
- Daikin & O General AC units

REQUEST AN ESTIMATEVilla Renovation across Abu Dhabi
19 Abu Dhabi villas renovated, including full re-servicing of 1990s Al Bateen homes.
“Their team was on site every single day. Coming from a Dubai contractor who visited twice a week, that was the difference.”
Villa Renovation in Abu Dhabi, answered.
Ten to fourteen weeks for an island villa internal upgrade. A full Al Bateen re-servicing with layout changes runs 22 to 30 weeks on site, plus four to eight weeks for ADM permits and consultant review.
Yes for structural, wet-area or MEP changes — an Abu Dhabi Municipality modification permit, with ADDC coordination for supply changes and a community consultant review on Saadiyat and Yas.
From AED 320,000 for an island villa internal upgrade to AED 1.4M and above for older villas needing full re-servicing and structural work. Prices follow an invasive survey.
Yes, permanently. We do not send crews down from Dubai, which is why supervision is daily and snagging visits happen the same week rather than on the next convoy.
It is one of our specialities — new distribution boards, replacement pipework, re-waterproofed roofs, and compartmented ground floors opened into connected living space with consultant drawings where walls come out.
Marine-grade fixings, corrosion-resistant external metalwork, salt-appropriate paint systems and joinery substrates specified for humidity. We assess exposure at survey rather than assuming.
