Dubai villa stock ages in a very specific way.
The villas we renovate in Dubai cluster around two vintages. Early-2000s Ranches, Meadows and Springs homes arrive with tired MEP, failed terrace waterproofing and layouts built around a closed kitchen nobody wants any more. Newer Dubai Hills and Damac Hills handovers arrive sound but generic — developer-grade joinery, builder-white walls and a garden of sand. Palm Jumeirah is its own case: salt-laden air chews external metalwork, and Nakheel controls what you may do to the envelope.
We survey invasively before we price — opening ceilings, testing the distribution board and checking terrace falls — so the fixed-price contract you sign reflects the villa you actually own. Our Dubai crews are permanent, supervised daily, and used to working inside community rules on skip placement, working hours and site cleanliness that get contractors banned when ignored.
Permanent Dubai team
Directly employed crews based in Dubai, 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 Dubai 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 Dubai
A Dubai villa renovation with structural or MEP changes needs a Dubai Municipality building modification permit, and every gated community needs a developer NOC before the permit will move. Emaar, Nakheel, Dubai Properties and Damac each have their own document set, contractor registration and insurance thresholds. We handle all of it and show the approval window on the dated programme rather than discovering it in week three.
- Dubai Municipality building modification permits, prepared and lodged by us
- Dubai Development Authority (DDA) submissions for TECOM and free-zone communities
- Developer NOCs — Emaar, Nakheel, Dubai Properties, Damac and Meraas
- Contractor registration, third-party insurance and site access passes
Materials and finishes we work with
- Sika & Fosroc waterproofing systems

- Knauf gypsum systems
- Daikin & O General AC units

“Nakheel paperwork, skip permits, working hours — all handled. We only ever had one number to call for the whole 26 weeks.”
Villa Renovation in Dubai, answered.
A cosmetic Dubai villa refresh runs eight to twelve weeks. A full strip-out with new MEP, layout changes and re-waterproofed terraces takes 20 to 28 weeks on site, plus three to six weeks beforehand for the developer NOC and Dubai Municipality permit.
Yes for any structural, wet-area or MEP change. You need a developer NOC first, then a Dubai Municipality building modification permit. We prepare and lodge both.
For phased cosmetic work, usually yes. For a full strip-out with MEP replacement we recommend moving out for the heaviest ten weeks — Dubai dust ingress during a strip-out is not something screens fully solve.
Fixed-price contracts typically start at AED 350,000 for a 3-bed refresh and run past AED 1.6M for signature villas with structural work. Pricing follows an invasive survey, never photographs.
Yes — Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills Estate, Damac Hills, Jumeirah Islands and Palm Jumeirah. We are registered with the major community management offices.
We front-load external and roof works to the cooler months where possible, and observe the midday outdoor work ban from June to September. The programme accounts for it rather than absorbing the delay later.
