Villa renovation in Dubai, from stripped shell to handover

We take a villa from its current state to a finished, furnished home under one contract: approvals, engineering, finishes, joinery and furniture. You deal with one project manager, and every material is bought at supplier price.

What a DI&ME villa renovation covers

Most villa renovations in Dubai stall in the gaps between trades: the contractor waits for the joiner, the joiner waits for the stone, and nobody owns the delivery schedule. We run all of it as one programme, so the order of works, the purchase plan and the site schedule are drawn up together before demolition starts.

A typical scope includes layout changes, new MEP and lighting, flooring and stone, ceilings and mouldings, paint and wall finishes, bespoke joinery, kitchens and bathrooms, and the final furnishing. You can hand us the whole villa or one floor at a time.

Approvals and community rules

Structural and MEP changes in most Dubai communities need a no-objection certificate from the master developer and, depending on the scope, a Dubai Municipality permit. We prepare the drawings, submit them and keep works inside what the permit allows, so the villa stays sellable and insurable.

Why owners choose a single contract

One contract means one budget and one person accountable for dates. Because we buy materials and furniture directly from more than 500 suppliers and add no markup, the budget you approve is the budget the project is built to, with alternatives offered at two or three price points where you want them.

Questions owners ask us

Do I need approval to renovate my villa in Dubai?

Cosmetic work usually does not, but layout, structural, facade and MEP changes need a no-objection certificate from the master developer and often a Dubai Municipality permit. We prepare and submit both as part of the project.

Can I live in the villa during renovation?

For a single floor or a few rooms, yes, with the works zoned off. A full renovation with MEP changes is faster and safer with the villa empty, and we plan the programme around your move-out dates.

What is the minimum project size?

We take on custom projects from AED 100,000. Most full villa renovations are well above that, and we give a costed scope after the site survey.

Do you work outside Dubai?

Yes. We deliver projects across the UAE, including Abu Dhabi and Saadiyat.
