Frequently asked questions
How much does a renovation cost in Dubai?
Turnkey renovation starts from AED 155 per sq ft for labour and rough materials, so a 1,000 sq ft apartment starts from about AED 155,000. With our interior design it is from AED 170 per sq ft, with procurement and supervision from AED 195 per sq ft. Finishing materials, furniture and appliances are agreed separately in the specification.
How long does it take?
A 1,000 sq ft apartment usually takes 4–5 months from the start of rough works to cleaning, a villa 6–9 months. Add 1–3 weeks for the building NOC and 4–6 weeks for the interior design, which can overlap.
Do you get the NOC and building approvals?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and contractor documents, submit the application to the building management or developer and follow it up. You only sign the application as the owner.
Can the renovation run while I am abroad?
Yes, many of our clients live abroad. Every week you receive a photo and video report, hidden-works sign-off sheets and the remaining budget. You can join a video call from site at any time.
What warranty do you give?
Three years on all workmanship under the contract. Materials and appliances carry the manufacturers' warranties; we hand over all documents at completion.
