Design & Build ## Design where you need it. Contractor everywhere else. City Renovations is a contractor first. Most clients don't need a separate design studio — they need someone who can make sound design decisions and then actually build them. So we bring practical interior design input into every project: space planning and layout changes, material and finish selection, colour direction, and 3D visuals or a specialist design partner where a scheme genuinely calls for it. But the value we're paid for is delivery — itemised pricing, in-house trades, one project manager and a fixed timeline from first visit to handover. If you already have an interior designer or architect, we build to their drawings cleanly; if you don't, we guide the decisions that matter and keep the rest refreshingly simple. Frequently Asked Questions ## Answers to common questions. Are you a renovation company in Dubai? + Yes. City Renovations is a Dubai-based home renovation company and contractor providing villa and apartment renovation, painting, landscaping and civil works across Dubai and the wider UAE. Which services do you cover end-to-end? + Renovation, painting, landscaping, and civil works (dismantling, tile, plaster, gypsum ceilings, block work, pipe installation) — all in-house. Most projects pull in more than one trade; we run them under a single contract, a single timeline, and a single warranty across the full scope. Can I combine multiple kinds of work into one project? + Yes — and we recommend it. Coordinating trades in sequence (e.g. exterior paint before garden install, plumbing rough-in before bathroom tiling) avoids the rework that happens when separate contractors don't talk to each other. We sequence the schedule for you. Do you handle Dubai Municipality NOCs and approvals? + Yes. Structural work, extensions, and changes to load-bearing or façade elements require Dubai Municipality approval and NOCs — and the relevant local authority for projects outside Dubai. We prepare the drawings, submit the applications, and track them through to issue — included in the quote at no extra cost. Do you do standalone plumbing or only as part of larger projects? + Plumbing scope — fixtures, rough-ins, water heater swaps, pressure adjustments, full re-pipes — is delivered as part of larger renovation or civil-works packages. Bathroom and kitchen plumbing is bundled into the renovation; whole-house re-pipes and new lines sit under Civil Works. We don't take on standalone emergency call-outs. Do you operate outside Dubai? + Yes — we serve Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, RAK, Al Ain, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. Travel time is included in the quote (not billed separately) for projects above a minimum scope. How quickly do you respond to a quote request? + Within 24 hours we'll call to scope the project; within 48 hours of the site visit you'll have an itemised written quote. Do you support property managers with multi-unit portfolios? + Yes — we regularly handle end-of-tenancy refurbishments, façade re-paints, and routine maintenance across portfolios. Talk to us about volume pricing and a dedicated account manager. Do you offer interior design? + We're a contractor, not a standalone design studio — but design isn't an afterthought. We help with layout, material and colour decisions as part of the build, and bring in 3D visuals or a specialist design partner when a scheme needs a fully design-led approach. If you already have an interior designer or architect, we build to their drawings cleanly.  Service Coverage ## Serving the entire UAE.

Design & Build ## Design where you need it. Contractor everywhere else. A renovation lives or dies on the decisions made before anyone lifts a tool — layout, where the kitchen and bathrooms land, finishes, lighting and colour. City Renovations is a contractor, not a design house, but those decisions aren't left to chance: we plan the space with you, advise on materials and finishes, and bring in 3D visuals or a specialist design partner where the scheme genuinely calls for it. What you pay us for is delivery — an itemised fixed price, in-house trades, one project manager and a timeline we hold to. Already have an architect or interior designer? We build to their drawings cleanly. If not, we guide the choices that matter and keep the rest simple. Frequently Asked Questions ## Renovation Questions, Answered How much does a villa or apartment renovation cost in Dubai? + It depends on scope, size and finish. Starting points: bathrooms from AED 12,000, kitchens from AED 25,000, Majlis from AED 20,000, built-in wardrobes from AED 8,000, flooring from AED 20/sqft, and structural works from AED 18,000. A full villa renovation can range from around AED 150,000 to over AED 1 million. Every quote is free, fixed-price and fully itemised after a site visit. Do I need Dubai Municipality approval or a permit for my renovation? + Cosmetic work — painting, tiling, kitchen and bathroom refits, wardrobes, flooring — typically does not. Structural work such as removing a load-bearing wall, villa extensions, or a garage change-of-use does require a DM permit and NOC. We assess which category your project falls into on the free site visit and handle all applications on your behalf. What is waterproofing / tanking, and is it always necessary? + Tanking is a waterproof membrane applied to all surfaces of a wet area before tiling. It is essential in any shower, wet room or bath area — without it, water ingress causes tile failure, mould, and leaks to adjacent rooms or the floor below. We apply tanking as a non-negotiable standard on every bathroom, backed by a written guarantee with the period stated in your contract. Can LVP flooring be installed over my existing tiles? + Yes — LVP is one of the few floors that can float over a sound, level existing tile floor, which avoids demolition and days of disruption. We check the existing floor first; hollow or loose tiles are fixed before laying. The finished floor sits about 8–12mm higher, so we adjust door heights and thresholds as part of the job. How much does a custom wardrobe cost in Dubai? + Built-in wardrobes start from around AED 2,500–4,500 per linear metre depending on finish (white lacquer is more affordable than walnut veneer or mirror). A typical 3m built-in starts from AED 8,000; walk-in wardrobes with island units and full mirror walls from AED 25,000+. The internal layout design is included, not an extra. What's the difference between traditional, contemporary and Gulf Fusion Majlis? + Traditional Khaleeji uses elaborate multi-tier gypsum ceilings, gold detailing and warm ornamental finishes. Contemporary Arabic uses clean flat-profile gypsum, monochrome palettes and geometric panelling. Gulf Fusion — the most requested today — keeps the traditional Majlis layout and ceiling character but uses European materials like Italian marble and walnut veneer. We prepare style options during the free design consultation. Do I need a permit to remove a wall in my villa? + If the wall is load-bearing, a DM permit is legally required before any work begins — unauthorised structural work risks fines and demolition orders. Non-load-bearing partition walls usually don't need a permit. Whether a wall is load-bearing can't be judged by appearance alone, so we coordinate a structural engineer's assessment as part of the site visit. How much does a villa extension cost in Dubai? + Villa extensions start from approximately AED 120,000 for a modest single-room addition and can reach AED 500,000+ for a substantial multi-room extension with full MEP and fit-out — indicatively AED 1,200–3,000+ per sqft of new area. Our itemised quote includes engineering and permit fees in one fixed price, with no separate invoices. Can you renovate my property while I'm out of the country? + Yes — many of our clients are expats or frequent travellers. We provide daily photo updates, WhatsApp progress reports, and video walkthroughs at key milestones, so you stay fully in the loop without needing to be on site. Do you handle AC duct integration during renovation? + Yes — AC duct rerouting and vent repositioning is standard scope on full remodels and open-plan work where ceilings are dropped or rooms reconfigured. Our in-house team coordinates all ducting so climate control is never compromised. Do you handle multi-unit or portfolio projects for property managers? + Yes — we regularly take on portfolio work, from end-of-tenancy refurbishments across multiple units to full building fit-outs. Mention the scope in the form below or call us to discuss bulk-project pricing and scheduling. Can you renovate one room at a time while I live in the property? + Yes — this is the most common approach for occupied villas and apartments. We renovate one bathroom or room at a time so you always have a working facility, section off work areas, and schedule noisy trades during daytime hours to minimise disruption. Do you offer interior design? + We're a renovation contractor rather than a standalone design studio, but design is built into how we work — layout, materials, finishes and colour are decided with you before the build, with 3D visuals or a specialist design partner brought in when a scheme needs it. If you already have a designer or architect, we build to their drawings cleanly.

Authority / approver When it usually matters What we coordinate **Dubai Municipality (DM)** Structural and layout changes, certain building modifications Permit submission, drawings, engineer coordination, inspection close-out **Dubai Civil Defence (DCD)** Fire-rated partitions, sprinklers, smoke detection, F&B extract Application pack, compliant materials, inspection support, completion docs **DEWA** Electrical load changes, temporary supply, energisation Load checks, submission coordination, handover records **Free-zone authority (JAFZA, Dubai South, DAFZA)** Properties in DDA areas and Dubai free zones Authority submissions, gate-pass and contractor-document requirements **Landlord, mall or Owners' Association** Almost every occupied office, retail, F&B or common-area job NOC, work permits, access timing, lift protection, noise-hour rules Not sure which approvals your space needs?

Our Commitment ## What You Get, In Writing - **Free site visit + fixed-price BOQ in 48 hours.** No charge to scope the works and put a clear, itemised number in your hands. - **Zero deposit until you approve the quote.** You only commit once the BOQ is signed off — nothing down to get started. - **One named project manager, daily WhatsApp updates.** A single point of contact from the first site visit to final handover. - **RAMS, insurance and a Gantt programme with every quote.** Tender-ready paperwork your FM team and landlord can file directly. - **Workmanship warranty, stated in your contract.** Every job is backed in writing; the period is set per project. Frequently Asked Questions ## Commercial Fit-Out Questions, Answered What is the difference between a Cat-A and Cat-B fit-out? + A Cat-A fit-out is the landlord's base finish — raised floors, suspended ceilings, basic MEP, blank walls, ready to occupy but not branded or partitioned. A Cat-B fit-out is the tenant's own: partitions, branded reception, meeting rooms, IT/AV, joinery, finishes and brand-spec lighting. We deliver both, though most commercial enquiries are Cat-B turnkey for tenants taking over a Cat-A shell. The split matters for cost — Cat-A is the landlord's, Cat-B is the tenant's capex, set out in the lease's licence for alterations. Do you handle DM, Civil Defence and landlord approvals? + Yes — DM permit submissions, Civil Defence sign-off for fire-rated and life-safety scope, DEWA temporary supply and energisation, and landlord or mall licence-for-alterations submissions are all handled by your dedicated PM. The approvals timeline goes into your Gantt-style programme so the critical path is visible from week one. Where a structural, MEP or acoustic consultant is needed, we coordinate them under our contract so you deal with one vendor. How long does a commercial fit-out typically take? + It depends on scope, approvals and access. As a guide: a single-tenant 1,500 sqft office fit-out runs 4–6 weeks from approvals to handover; a whole-floor 8,000–12,000 sqft Cat-B office fit-out runs 8–12 weeks; a warehouse renovation with flooring, mezzanine and MEP upgrades runs 6–10 weeks; an F&B fit-out including Civil Defence approvals for kitchen extract runs 10–14 weeks. Can you keep our business running while you renovate? + Yes — phased delivery is standard for occupied buildings. For multi-floor offices we work floor by floor, with active floors continuing to trade. For warehouses we sequence zone by zone so the operation continues on the rest of the slab. For retail and F&B we work overnight strip-out and finishes, or schedule full closure only for the days that genuinely require it — and that window is locked at contract sign so you can plan trading impact. Do you provide RAMS, insurance and Civil Defence documentation? + Yes — every commercial quote ships with the documentation FM teams, Owners' Associations and landlords require: the Risk Assessment & Method Statement (RAMS), public liability insurance certificate (AED 5M standard, higher cover on request), per-trade method statements, Civil Defence application packs for fire-rated work, and full MEP test & commissioning sheets at handover. The package is tender-ready and files directly into FM systems. Can you work to a hard handover date for a lease or opening? + Yes — lease commencement, mall opening and operational go-live dates are the most common drivers behind our programmes. We work backwards from the handover date, lock the approvals critical path first, and structure phasing so the date holds. Late-stage compression — extended shifts, overnight work, parallel trades on adjacent zones — is part of how we hit dates with penalty exposure. If a date is genuinely unachievable, we tell you at quote stage with the data. How do you handle change orders and cost certainty? + The quote is fixed-price for the scope it describes. Variations only happen if scope changes — at your request, or because hidden conditions emerge during strip-out (asbestos in older buildings, structural surprises, MEP that doesn't match drawings). Every variation is priced and approved in writing before we proceed, so the running cost is always known. No mid-project cost creep without your sign-off. What's involved in a warehouse renovation? + Warehouse renovation in the UAE typically covers industrial flooring (epoxy, PU or self-levelling depending on traffic and chemical exposure), mezzanines and racking-compatible slab repair, dock doors and roller shutters, MEP and lighting upgrades (LED retrofit is now the default), fire-safety and Civil Defence compliance, and office-pod additions for site teams. Free-zone authorities (JAFZA, Dubai South, DAFZA) and DM each have their own permitting paths — we handle whichever applies to your site. Do commercial fit-outs in Dubai need a landlord NOC? + In most commercial buildings, yes. Landlords, malls, free zones and Owners' Associations normally require an NOC or work permit before strip-out or fit-out begins. We confirm the approval path on the site visit and build the landlord, mall or OA requirements — NOC, access timing, lift protection and noise-hour rules — into the programme so the critical path is visible before you sign.

[Read the full apartment painting cost guide](https://cityrenovations.ae/blog/apartment-painting-cost-dubai-2026/). Frequently Asked Questions ## Painting Questions, Answered How much does it cost to paint a villa in Dubai? + Painting costs in Dubai depend on property size, surface condition, number of coats, and paint quality selected. A standard apartment (2 bedroom) interior repaint typically starts from AED 3,000–5,000. A full villa interior repaint ranges from AED 8,000–25,000+ depending on size. Exterior villa repaints with proper prep and UV-resistant paint start from AED 10,000. We provide free, fixed-price quotes so you know the exact cost before committing. How long does a painting project take in the UAE? + A 2–3 bedroom apartment typically takes 2–3 days. A large villa interior takes 4–7 days depending on size and finish type. Exterior villa repaints take 3–5 days. Decorative finishes like Venetian plaster take longer — typically 1–2 days per room due to the multi-layer application process. You'll receive a fixed timeline in your quote. Can you paint my home while I'm living in it? + Yes — this is the most common scenario. We work room by room, fully protecting furniture, floors, and fixtures before starting each area. We use low-VOC paints in occupied spaces to minimise fumes. Rooms are usable again the same evening after painting. Most clients barely notice we're there during the project. Why does paint peel or look chalky on UAE exterior walls? + The most common causes are using standard (non-UV-resistant) exterior paint, inadequate surface preparation before painting, and painting over untreated efflorescence (salt bloom). UAE's extreme UV and heat breaks down standard paints rapidly — within 1–2 years. We use elastic, UV-stable exterior coatings with proper surface prep and efflorescence treatment, which should last 5–8 years with normal maintenance. What is Venetian plaster and how much does it cost in Dubai? + Venetian plaster is a polished decorative wall finish with a soft marble-like look, often used for bedrooms, Majlis walls and feature walls in Dubai homes. It typically costs AED 120–200 per sqm depending on product, layers and finish. A standard bedroom feature wall usually starts from around AED 2,500. Do I need Dubai Municipality or building approval for painting? + Most internal repainting does not need Dubai Municipality approval. Villa facade colour changes, tower common areas, exterior access and managed communities may require building management, HOA or developer NOC. We flag this during the free site visit and help with the paperwork where needed. What warranty do you provide on painting work? + Every painting job includes a written workmanship warranty covering application issues such as peeling, flaking or poor adhesion caused by our prep or workmanship. Product warranties depend on the paint system selected and are confirmed in the quote. Do you offer a colour consultation service? + Yes — free colour consultation is included with every painting quote. We visit your space with physical paint samples (not just digital swatches), assess your natural and artificial light conditions, existing furniture tones, and discuss how you want the space to feel. We then recommend a palette and can provide test patches on your wall before you commit to the full job. How many coats of paint do you apply? + A minimum of two topcoats on all wall surfaces. Where the surface is previously unpainted, significantly damaged, or you're changing from a dark to a light colour (or vice versa), a primer or undercoat is applied first. Deep colours and feature walls usually get three coats for an even, true finish. The exact build-up is set out in your quote. What is efflorescence and how do you treat it on exterior walls? + Efflorescence is the white crystalline salt bloom on exterior walls — soluble salts carried to the surface by moisture, very common in coastal UAE. Painting over it just makes it return. We remove the salt, block moisture migration with a crystalline waterproofing system, seal with an alkali-resistant primer, then apply the UV-stable topcoat — so the bloom stays gone. Do Dubai communities require approval before villa exterior repainting? + Many managed communities — Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Park and similar — require the exterior colour to match an approved community palette, and some need an NOC or developer approval first. We can repaint in the existing approved colour, or help with the colour-match and approval paperwork where it's needed. Can you repaint a rental apartment before move-out or handover? + Yes — end-of-tenancy and handover repainting is one of our most common jobs. We return walls to a neutral landlord-standard white, revert accent walls, fill and sand nail holes, and finish to a tight timeline that lines up with your check-out — with handover photos and an itemised invoice you can forward to your landlord or agent to help protect your deposit.

The Signature Finish ## Venetian & Polished Plaster Stucco Veneziano — a polished plaster of slaked lime and marble dust, built up in 3–5 hand-applied layers for luminous depth that catches light like real stone. Most loved on feature walls in bedrooms, majlis and entrance halls. Limewash is offered alongside it: a chalky-soft, naturally mottled finish that lets coastal walls breathe and only gets more beautiful with age. - Venetian / polished plaster (Stucco Veneziano) - Warm stone, cool blue-grey & earthy terracotta tones - Limewash — breathable, chalky-soft, organic depth - Walls prepped until perfectly smooth first - Hand-polished, light-catching sheen - Final wax / protective seal included - Master bedroom, majlis & entrance feature walls - Sample panel approved in your light first Venetian plaster **AED 120–200/sqm**Feature wall (18–25sqm) **From AED 2,500**Limewash **From AED 55/sqm** Venetian plaster needs 3–5 layers, each fully dried before the next — rushing the drying time between coats compromises the final result irreversibly, so we build a realistic schedule into every quote.

Frequently Asked Questions ## Decorative & Texture Finish Questions How much does Venetian plaster cost in Dubai? + Venetian plaster (Stucco Veneziano) in Dubai typically costs AED 120–200/sqm for full supply and application, depending on the number of layers, finish intensity, and material grade selected. A standard master bedroom feature wall (approximately 18–25sqm) starts from AED 2,500–4,000. A full room treatment (all four walls, approximately 60–80sqm) typically starts from AED 7,000–12,000. These prices include prep, material, application, and final wax sealing. What is the difference between Venetian plaster and microcement? + Venetian plaster (Stucco Veneziano) is made from slaked lime and marble dust — it creates a polished, reflective surface with depth and sheen, in warm natural stone-like tones. It is traditionally used on walls only and has a burnished, high-end finish. Microcement is a polymer-modified cementitious coating — matte, smooth, and mineral in character. It is seamless and can be applied to walls, floors, ceilings, and even bathroom surfaces. It is more versatile but less decoratively expressive than Venetian plaster. The right choice depends on the aesthetic you are after. How long does Venetian plaster take to apply? + Venetian plaster requires 3–5 layers, each of which must be fully dried before the next is applied. The final burnishing stage alone takes as long as all previous layers combined. A feature wall (single wall) typically takes 2–3 days. A full room (all four walls) takes 4–7 days. There are no shortcuts — trying to rush the drying time between coats compromises the final result irreversibly. We build realistic timelines into every quote. Can decorative finishes be applied in a bathroom? + Yes — certain finishes are suitable for bathrooms. Microcement is the most popular bathroom choice — when properly sealed with a penetrating polyurethane topcoat, it is waterproof and can be applied over tiles, walls, and floors in wet areas. Venetian plaster is not recommended in wet areas (shower zones) but can be used in bathrooms where walls are not directly water-exposed. Limewash is also suitable in bathrooms as it is breathable and vapour-permeable. We advise on the right finish for each area during the consultation. Can Arabic geometric stencilling be done over existing paint? + Yes — Arabic geometric stencilling is applied over the base coat of your chosen wall colour. The wall must be flat, clean, and painted before stencilling begins. We typically repaint the wall in the chosen base colour first (deep plum, midnight blue, or another rich background tone), let it cure fully, then apply the geometric pattern with metallic or contrasting pigment over it. The base coat and stencilling are usually quoted and executed together as a complete feature wall package. How do I clean and maintain Venetian plaster, microcement or limewash? + Each finish has simple, specific care. Sealed Venetian plaster wipes clean with a soft damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner — no abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. Microcement is sealed with a polyurethane topcoat and cleans like any sealed surface; in wet areas the seal is periodically refreshed. Limewash is breathable and best dusted or lightly wiped, with touch-ups blended in rather than scrubbed. We hand over written care guidance for the exact finish applied in your home. Will the finish scratch, stain or fade in a busy home? + When the right finish is specified for the room and sealed correctly, decorative finishes hold up well in busy Dubai homes. We match durability to use — a harder-wearing sealed system for hallways, stairwells and family rooms, and a softer decorative system for low-traffic feature walls and majlis areas. Strong, direct sunlight can shift very deep pigments over years, so for sun-facing walls we recommend UV-stable colourways during the consultation. Can you create a sample before I approve the full wall? + Yes — and we strongly recommend it. We prepare sample panels and test patches in your chosen finish and colour, applied in your home so you can judge them in your actual light, morning and evening. Full application only begins once you have signed off the approved sample. It is the single best way to make sure the finished wall is exactly what you expected.

Frequently Asked Questions ## Floor Coating & Commercial Painting Questions Do you apply epoxy floor coatings for warehouses, car parks and back-of-house? + Yes — resin floor coatings are core commercial work. We choose the system for the space: solvent-free epoxy for warehouses, workshops, plant rooms and F&B back-of-house, where you need a hard, chemical- and abrasion-resistant floor; and a polyurethane (PU) topcoat where the floor sees UV/sunlight or thermal movement — open car-park decks and ramps — because epoxy on its own can chalk or yellow in direct sun. The result is only as good as the preparation: we mechanically prepare the slab (diamond grinding or captive shot-blasting) to a sound, profiled surface and check slab moisture before coating. Anti-slip aggregate is broadcast into the coat for ramps, wet areas and walkways, safety zones are colour-coded, and bay or line marking is integrated in the same visit. Most floors are applied overnight or phased so the facility keeps operating, with the exact system, thickness, finish and warranty set in your quote. Can you paint our office without us closing for the day? + Yes — out-of-hours execution is our default for offices, retail units and operational commercial spaces. We typically work evenings (6pm–1am) Sunday through Thursday, plus full Friday and Saturday programmes. Walls cure to a workable, smell-free state by the next morning. We use low-VOC, low-odour systems as standard, so staff returning the next morning don't notice paint smell. After-hours typically carries a 15% premium, weekends 25% — both itemised in the quote. What is intumescent paint and when is it required? + Intumescent paint is a fire-resistant coating applied to structural steel — columns, beams, roof structure. In a fire it expands many times its thickness, forming an insulating char that protects the steel for a set period: 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. UAE Civil Defence requires it on exposed structural steel in commercial buildings, warehouses, multi-storey car parks and many fit-outs. We apply it to the manufacturer-specified dry film thickness, verify with a digital gauge after each coat, and provide the certificates, TDS/MSDS and dry-film-thickness records Civil Defence needs to sign off. How does building façade repainting work? + First, a survey identifies substrate issues — cracks, spalling, salt deposits, coating delamination. Second, the access method is set by building height: IRATA rope access for buildings up to ~30 floors, scaffolding for lower or complex façades, BMU cradle for very high towers. Third, every defect is repaired before any new coating — crack injection, render patching, salt removal. Fourth, an anti-carbonation primer (essential for UAE concrete) is applied, then an elastomeric topcoat in the agreed colour. Lifespan with this system is typically 8–12 years before the next major repaint. Do you provide RAMS, insurance and Civil Defence documentation? + Yes — every commercial quote ships with the documentation FM teams and Owners' Associations require: the Risk Assessment & Method Statement (RAMS), public liability insurance certificate (AED 5M standard, higher on request), paint Technical and Material Safety Data Sheets (TDS/MSDS), and the manufacturer certificates and application documentation required for Civil Defence submission on intumescent or anti-bacterial systems. The package is tender-ready and files directly into FM systems. Do you handle car park line marking as a standalone service? + Yes — line marking is offered both standalone and as part of a full car-park repaint. It covers bay lines (100mm white or yellow chlorinated rubber), accessible-bay symbols, directional arrows, stop/give-way markings, pedestrian walkways, numbered bays and reserved-bay coding. Pricing is typically per bay (around AED 85/bay including line, number and any symbol) or per sqm for larger areas. We use mechanical line markers for crisp RTA-spec lines, and complete most car parks overnight to keep the facility operational. What's the difference between standard and anti-bacterial emulsion? + Standard premium emulsion suits offices, retail and most commercial interiors. Anti-bacterial emulsion is a silver-ion system that actively kills surface bacteria on contact — required in clinics, hospitals, food-prep areas, school nurseries, gyms and any space under HACCP or DHA hygiene standards. The cost difference is about AED 12–15/sqm extra; we recommend it where surfaces are touched frequently or hygiene compliance is needed for licensing. How long does a typical commercial repaint or floor take? + It depends on scope and access. A single 1,500-sqft office can be done in 2–3 evening shifts; a full tower floor (~8,000–10,000 sqft) in 6–10 evening shifts; a multi-storey common-area refresh in 3–5 weeks phased; a 14-storey façade in 5–8 weeks. Epoxy floors are usually applied overnight or zone-by-zone so the facility keeps running. We deliver a Gantt-style programme with the quote so your FM team sees exactly when each phase happens. Can you work in malls, hotels or occupied towers with permit restrictions? + Yes — restricted, occupied environments are routine. We work to mall and hotel operations rules, apply for the relevant work permits and gate passes, attend induction, and schedule within the hot-work and quiet-hour windows the building allows. We contain the work area, use low-odour systems, and coordinate with security and FM so trading is never disrupted. RAMS and insurance go in ahead of mobilisation so permit approval isn't a bottleneck.

Frequently Asked Questions ## Waterproofing & Surface Prep Questions How much does it cost to waterproof a bathroom in Dubai? + A full bathroom reseal — including tile lift, surface prep, tanking the floor and walls in proper layers, reinforced corners, and a flood test — typically starts from AED 2,800 for a standard 4–6 sqm bathroom. Larger master bathrooms or rooms needing substantial repair can range from AED 4,000–8,000+. Final price is confirmed on a free site visit, fixed in writing, and includes the workmanship warranty. Why does my villa roof keep leaking even after waterproofing? + Standard waterproofing fails fast under UAE heat — roofs hit serious slab temperatures in summer, and basic systems shrink, crack and lift within 3–5 years. Roof leaks also commonly start at edges, drain outlets and pipe penetrations where extra protection was skipped. We strip the failed system and redo it using a UV-stable membrane built for UAE conditions, with reinforced detailing at every junction. The workmanship warranty reflects that durability difference. Can you waterproof a bathroom without removing all the tiles? + Doing it properly means the seal sits behind the tile, on the surface beneath — coating over existing tile and grout rarely lasts. There are surface-applied sealers that can buy a couple more years on an ageing bathroom, but if the original seal has failed and water is escaping, the only durable solution is to lift the tile, tank properly and retile. We're upfront about this on every site visit so you can decide based on the real situation. Is it safe to paint or coat over mould, salt or efflorescence? + No. Anti-mould paint prevents new growth — it does not kill existing mould, and painting over live mould traps moisture and spores behind the film, so it regrows and discolours the finish within months. Efflorescence (white, chalky salt deposits, common on UAE coastal and ground-floor walls) pushes paint off from behind. Active mould must be biocidally treated and removed, and salt neutralised and primed, before anything goes over them. We never skip this step — send a photo on WhatsApp and we'll tell you within an hour what you're dealing with. Why do cracks keep coming back after they're filled? + Usually one of two reasons: the wrong filler type, or the root cause hasn't been addressed. In the UAE, thermal movement is the biggest factor — walls expand and contract daily and seasonally in extreme heat, and rigid fillers can't move with the substrate. We assess whether cracks are live (still moving) or settled, and specify a filler with the appropriate flexibility. Wide or growing settlement cracks from building movement may need structural investigation before we repair the surface. Does the cool-roof coating actually save on cooling bills? + Yes — and the saving is most noticeable in top-floor rooms directly under the roof. Cool-roof finishes reflect most of the sun's heat back into the sky, dropping the roof surface temperature significantly in peak sun. Real-world savings on top-floor AC typically range from 10–25%, depending on roof exposure, building insulation and how the home is used. The finish also doubles as the waterproof top layer, so you get both functions in a single system. What does the workmanship warranty actually cover? + It covers how we install the waterproofing and surface treatment — meaning if water gets through, or cracks, mould or salt return, because of how we did the job, we redo the affected area at our cost. The warranty comes on a printed certificate at handover with the photo record of every step. The period depends on the system and area (bathroom reseals, balcony decks and full roof systems each carry their own term, typically several years), confirmed in writing on your quote. It does not cover extreme structural movement, third-party damage or new damage like a fresh pipe leak. We walk through the exact terms before any work starts. Do you handle urgent active leaks? + Yes. Active leaks — a ceiling dripping below a bathroom, water tracking down a wall, a roof leaking in rain — are treated as priority call-outs. We attend quickly to trace the source, take containment steps to limit further damage, and give you an honest read on whether it needs an immediate temporary seal or a full permanent repair. We won't coat over an active leak; we find and fix the cause first. Do you do surface-prep-only jobs, or must you do the waterproofing and painting too? + We're happy to take prep-only jobs. We'll diagnose the surface, fill and sand cracks, treat salt or mould, and prime the repairs so the wall is paint-ready for whoever you choose — we'll tell you exactly what the surface condition is at handover. Where damp or salt is the real cause of paint failure, we'll be honest about whether it needs waterproofing first rather than just refilling and repainting.

Indicative ranges to repaint a Dubai apartment — by unit size, by scope, and what moves the number. By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 This guide is for Dubai apartment owners and tenants pricing a repaint — whether it's a quick refresh before moving in, an end-of-tenancy hand-back, or a full interior reset. If you're moving out specifically, see our dedicated [end-of-tenancy painting](https://cityrenovations.ae/painting/#endoftenancy) page. The numbers below are indicative planning bands from current UAE work, not a quote. Paint cost is mostly labour and preparation, so the real figure depends on wall condition far more than litres of paint. ## Indicative bands by apartment size For a standard two-coat interior repaint in good wall condition: | Apartment | Scope | Indicative range | | --- | --- | --- | | **Studio** | Walls + ceiling, two coats | AED 500–1,200 | | **1-bed** | Walls + ceilings, two coats | AED 900–2,200 | | **2-bed** | Walls + ceilings, two coats | AED 1,800–3,500 | | **3-bed** | Walls + ceilings, two coats | AED 2,800–5,500 | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. ## By scope and surface | Item | Notes | Indicative rate | | --- | --- | --- | | **Interior walls & ceilings** | Two coats, premium emulsion, minor prep | AED 8–18 / sqft | | **Single feature / accent wall** | Colour or texture, one wall | from AED 400 | | **Heavy prep surfaces** | Crack repair, skim, damp/peeling treatment | priced as a variation | | **Decorative finish** | Polished plaster / microcement, per sqm | AED 95–200 / sqm | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. ## What drives a repaint price - **Wall condition.** Sound walls take paint; cracked, previously-papered or damp walls need prep that costs more than the paint itself. - **Paint system.** Standard emulsion, washable, anti-mould or low-VOC systems sit at different price points and longevity. - **Coverage.** Strong colour changes (dark to light) often need an extra coat. - **Ceilings and trims.** Including ceilings, skirtings, doors and frames materially changes a per-unit number. - **Occupied vs empty.** Working around furniture and a living household adds masking, moves and protection time. - **Building access.** Tower units may need a building NOC, lift booking and defined working hours, which affects scheduling. - **End-of-tenancy standard.** A landlord-grade hand-back finish is held to a tighter standard than a quick refresh. ## What a painting quote covers **What's covered:** a free colour consultation and site visit, surface preparation appropriate to the wall condition, masking and protection, two coats unless stated, clean-up and snag walk-through, and a written workmanship guarantee covering application issues such as peeling or poor adhesion from our prep, with the period stated in your quote. **Outside the painting quote:** furniture removal beyond reasonable shifting, structural damp remediation (we flag the cause first), and product warranties beyond the paint manufacturer's own terms. A process note from experience: we don't paint over active damp or efflorescence to make a unit look ready — it returns within a season. Where we find it, we identify the source and quote the fix separately rather than burying it. Painting is delivered as a scheduled package, not as same-day handyman call-outs. Want this priced against your unit?

As an indicative band, a standard two-coat repaint of a 1-bed apartment in good wall condition tends to fall between AED 900 and AED 2,200, depending on whether ceilings and trims are included and the paint system chosen. Your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. Is end-of-tenancy painting priced differently from a normal repaint? The rate is similar, but the standard is stricter — a deposit-back hand-back is held to a uniform, mark-free finish, so prep tends to be more thorough. We confirm the expected standard before quoting. Do you need building approval to paint an apartment? Most internal repainting needs no Dubai Municipality approval. Towers and managed communities often require a building-management NOC, lift booking and set working hours — we flag this at the site visit and handle the paperwork where required. Why prep instead of just painting over the old surface? Because adhesion and longevity come from the surface beneath the paint. Painting over cracks, damp or chalking surfaces looks fine for weeks and then fails. The preparation is what makes the finish last. Can you match the existing colour? Yes — we colour-match existing walls where you want continuity, or provide a free colour consultation if you're changing the scheme. Both are part of the quote. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE? Book a free site visit and we'll turn this into an itemised, fixed-price quote for your project.

By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 This guide is for owners dealing with a bathroom that has started to leak, stain a ceiling below, or lift its tiles — and for anyone renovating who wants to make sure it doesn't happen in the first place. Most "leaks" in UAE bathrooms aren't plumbing failures; they're waterproofing failures, and they're almost always traceable to a handful of avoidable causes. Knowing them helps you ask the right questions before tiles go down. ## Failure mode 1 — no tanking, or partial tanking The most common cause is the simplest: the wet area was never fully tanked. A membrane applied only to the shower floor, stopping short up the walls, missing the floor-to-wall junction, or skipped entirely under "dry" parts of the bathroom, leaves water a path. In UAE bathrooms, splashing, condensation and floor-washing wet far more than the shower tray. A correct job tanks the full wet area — floor, up the walls to a sensible height, and every junction — not just the obvious zone. ## Failure mode 2 — junctions, penetrations and movement Where the membrane meets something it usually fails: floor-to-wall corners, drain bodies, shattaf and mixer penetrations, and the threshold. These need detailing — reinforcing tape or collars at corners and penetrations — not just a brushed-over coat. Buildings also move; thermal cycling in the UAE is significant, and a rigid membrane over a junction with no flexibility cracks. Detailing and the right membrane type for movement are what hold these points. ## Failure mode 3 — tiling onto a wet or green screed Tiling before the screed is dry traps moisture under the system, and it surfaces later as efflorescence, debonding tiles and persistent damp. This is one of the most common shortcuts on a rushed programme. The discipline is to let the screed reach a low moisture content before waterproofing and tiling — on our bathrooms we hold the screed below roughly 4% moisture and water-test the tanking before a single tile is laid, rather than racing the calendar. ## Failure mode 4 — wrong falls and drainage Water that doesn't reach the drain sits, and standing water finds every weakness in the system. Inadequate or reversed floor falls, a drain set too high, or a blocked secondary drainage path all keep water on the membrane longer than it should be. Correct falls to the drain are set at screed stage — they can't be fixed with tiles afterwards. ## The warning signs to act on early - A damp patch or stain on the ceiling of the room below a bathroom. - Tiles that sound hollow, lift, or grout that keeps cracking along the same line. - A persistent musty smell, peeling paint, or efflorescence on adjacent walls. - Silicone at junctions that blackens or fails repeatedly despite being redone. These are signs the system below the surface is compromised — re-grouting or re-siliconing treats the symptom, not the cause. ## How it's done right Durability is a sequence, not a product: dry screed, correct falls, a full-area membrane, taped and collared junctions, a flood test — and only then tiles. We hold that order every time and will not lay tile over a membrane that hasn't passed its water test. The rushed inversion of those steps is precisely the callback we keep being asked to put right on other contractors' bathrooms. The tanking scope and its guarantee are written into the quote, never left implied. Chasing a leak, or renovating before one starts? Walk the bathroom with our [bathroom renovation](https://cityrenovations.ae/renovation/#bathroom) team and we'll tell you what is actually failing beneath the tiles. ## FAQ Is a bathroom leak usually plumbing or waterproofing? More often waterproofing than plumbing. A failed or partial tanking membrane, poor junction detailing, or tiling onto a wet screed lets water through even when the pipework is sound. Diagnosing the actual cause matters before anything is re-done. Can you fix waterproofing without removing the tiles? Rarely properly. The membrane sits beneath the screed and tiles, so a genuine repair usually means stripping the wet area back, correcting falls and junctions, re-tanking and re-tiling. Surface fixes like re-grouting only delay a recurring failure. Why does the screed have to be dry before tiling? Tiling onto a green or wet screed traps moisture under the system, which later shows as efflorescence, debonding tiles and damp. We let the screed reach a low moisture content and water-test the membrane before tiling, rather than racing the programme. How high should waterproofing go up the walls? The full wet area needs protection, not just the shower tray — floor, walls to a sensible height, and every floor-to-wall junction and penetration detailed. Splashing, washing and condensation wet far more of a UAE bathroom than the shower zone alone. Do you guarantee the waterproofing? Bathroom tanking we install is specified explicitly in the quote and carries a written workmanship guarantee, with the period and exclusions stated in your handover documents. We don't tile over an unproven membrane to meet a date. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE? Book a free site visit and we'll turn this into an itemised, fixed-price quote for your project.

Indicative trade-by-trade rates for Dubai civil works — tiling, plaster, gypsum, block work, pipes and electrical. By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 This guide is for owners, fit-out contractors and property managers pricing the core trades behind a Dubai renovation or fit-out — the work that sits under the finishes. Bands below are indicative planning figures from current UAE projects, not a quote. Civil works is measured work: rates move with substrate condition, specification and access, so the confirmed number follows a site visit and a measured scope. ## Indicative trade rates | Trade | Scope basis | Indicative rate | | --- | --- | --- | | **Tile work** | Supply & fit, per sqft, by material | AED 15–90 / sqft | | **Plaster work** | Skim / render, paint-ready, per sqm | AED 22–45 / sqm | | **Gypsum false ceiling** | Board, frame & finish, per sqft | AED 18–55 / sqft | | **Block work** | Partition / boundary, per sqm by height | AED 220–950 / sqm | | **Pipe installation** | Re-pipe / new lines, per point or run | quoted per scope | | **Electrical works** | Circuits, DB, rewire, DEWA-tested | quoted per scope | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. ## By typical job | Job | Notes | Indicative range | | --- | --- | --- | | **Bathroom retile** | Strip, waterproof, re-tile, supply & fit | AED 8,000–18,000 | | **Villa floor retile** | Whole-floor, material-dependent | AED 40,000–150,000+ | | **Office partitioning** | Block or gypsum, per floor zone | AED 280–420 / sqm | | **Villa re-pipe** | CPVC, pressure-tested | quoted after survey | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. ## What moves a measured rate - **Substrate condition.** Sound screeds and walls take finishes cleanly; out-of-level or failed substrate needs making good first. - **Material specification.** Tile format and type, board grade (standard vs moisture- or fire-rated) and block type swing rates significantly. - **Waterproofing.** Wet areas need tanking before tiling — a non-negotiable line that protects everything above it. - **Access & sequencing.** Occupied buildings, lift bookings and after-hours windows add programme. - **Approvals.** Structural block work, DEWA-tested electrical and DM/Civil Defence sign-off where the scope requires it. - **Demolition & disposal.** Strip-out, dust control and DM-compliant waste handling are real, often-missed lines. - **Testing & certification.** Pressure tests, electrical certificates and handover documentation. ## What a civil-works quote covers **In scope:** a free site visit, a measured itemised quote, in-house trades, substrate preparation appropriate to the finish, waterproofing where wet areas are in scope, DEWA/DM/Civil-Defence coordination and testing where required, clean handover, and a written workmanship guarantee with the period stated in your documents. **Outside the civil quote:** latent defects only visible once surfaces are opened (flagged and priced as a variation), authority fees paid directly, and finishing trades outside the civil scope unless bundled. A standards note from experience: before we tile we hold the screed to below ~4% moisture and water-test wet-area waterproofing — skipping that is the most common cause of the bathroom failures we get called back to fix on other contractors' work. Civil works is delivered as a sequenced package; we don't take standalone emergency call-outs. Need the core trades measured and priced? [See our civil works services](https://cityrenovations.ae/civil-works/) or book a free site visit. ## FAQ What does tiling cost per square foot in Dubai in 2026? As an indicative band, supply-and-fit tiling runs roughly AED 15–90 per sqft depending on material — ceramic and standard porcelain at the lower end, large-format and natural stone higher. Substrate prep and waterproofing are separate lines. The confirmed rate follows a measured site visit. Is waterproofing always required in wet areas? Yes — tanking before tiling is a non-negotiable standard on any shower, wet room or bath area. Skipping it causes tile failure, mould and leaks to adjacent rooms, which is far more expensive to remediate than to do correctly the first time. Can you do a single trade, or only full packages? Core trades are delivered as a sequenced, measured package within a renovation or fit-out rather than as standalone emergency call-outs. That sequencing is what keeps quality and accountability under one team. Do you provide DEWA and Civil Defence certification? Where the scope requires it, electrical work is DEWA-tested with written certificates, and DM/Civil Defence coordination and sign-off are handled as part of the project and included in the quote. Why can't you give a firm price without a site visit? Civil works is measured work — the rate depends on substrate condition, access and specification that only show on site. The bands here are for planning; the itemised quote after the visit is what we stand behind. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE?

Indicative ranges for a Dubai villa garden — design, hardscape, softscape, irrigation, lighting and ongoing care. By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 This guide is for Dubai villa owners planning a garden — a full design-and-build, a softscape refresh, or just adding irrigation and lighting that survives the summer. Figures are indicative planning bands from current UAE work, not a quote. Landscaping cost is mostly hardscape area, planting maturity and water management, so the right number follows a site visit and a planting plan. ## Indicative bands by element | Element | What it covers | Indicative rate | | --- | --- | --- | | **Garden design** | Concept, planting plan, setting-out | AED 6,000–25,000 | | **Hardscape** | Porcelain/stone paving, steps, low walls | AED 180–550 / sqm | | **Softscape** | Topsoil, planting, lawn/turf, mulch | AED 60–250 / sqm | | **Irrigation** | Drip/spray zones, controller, source connection | AED 35–80 / sqm | | **Outdoor lighting** | Path, uplight, feature, transformer/circuits | AED 12,000–45,000 | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. ## By garden scope | Scope | Typical villa | Indicative range | | --- | --- | --- | | **Softscape refresh** | Planting + irrigation tune, no hardscape | AED 20,000–60,000 | | **Mid design-build** | Paving, planting, irrigation, lighting | AED 80,000–220,000 | | **Full estate garden** | Large hardscape, mature planting, features | AED 250,000–600,000+ | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. ## What a garden's cost turns on - **Hardscape area.** Paving, decking and walls are the single biggest line in most gardens. - **Planting maturity.** Instant impact from semi-mature trees and large specimens costs far more than young stock that fills in over seasons. - **Water management.** Drip vs spray, smart control and the source connection affect both install and running cost. - **Site access.** Tight villa side-access for soil, stone and trees adds handling time. - **Levels and drainage.** Sloped plots, retaining and surface drainage add engineering. - **Community rules.** Boundary, screening and NOC requirements vary by community and shape the design. - **Aftercare.** A planting establishment period and a maintenance plan protect the spend — and are a real budget line. ## What a landscaping quote covers **Covered:** a free site visit, an itemised quote, design and planting plan, in-house build of hardscape, softscape, irrigation and lighting coordination, community/NOC guidance where required, and a written workmanship guarantee with the period stated in your handover documents. **Not assumed:** a watering source extension where none exists, ongoing maintenance unless contracted, and plant-establishment cover beyond the stated period — all flagged and scoped, never assumed. A practical note from experience: in UAE conditions we set irrigation to the planting before handover and recommend a maintenance plan, because the failure point for a Dubai garden is rarely the build — it's the first two unattended summers.

As an indicative band, a mid design-build garden — paving, planting, irrigation and lighting for a typical villa — tends to run AED 80,000–220,000, with softscape-only refreshes lower and large estate gardens well above. The itemised quote follows a free site visit and planting plan. Why are mature plants so much more expensive? Semi-mature trees and large specimens give instant structure and shade but cost several times more than young stock to source, transport and establish. Many gardens mix a few mature anchors with younger planting to balance impact and budget. How much does garden maintenance cost monthly? Indicatively, fortnightly care for a typical UAE villa garden starts around AED 1,200/month and weekly care with specialist work around AED 2,200/month. See our maintenance contracts page for what each visit covers. Do you handle community or developer approvals for landscaping? Where a community or developer requires NOCs or design review — boundary treatment, screening, drainage — we prepare the scope and drawings and flag likely requirements early in the design stage. Is irrigation really necessary, or can I hand-water? In Dubai's climate, reliable drip irrigation on a controller is the difference between a garden that survives summer and one that doesn't. We size and tune it to the planting before handover rather than leaving it generic. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE?

By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 The majlis is the most culturally specific room in a UAE villa — the formal reception space where guests are received and hospitality is performed. Renovating one isn't a generic living-room job: the style decision shapes the joinery, the ceiling, the lighting and the seating layout, and it's the decision owners find hardest. This guide compares the traditional and modern approaches so you can brief it with confidence. ## The traditional majlis A traditional majlis leans on craft and pattern. Its signature elements are carved or routed Arabic geometric wall panelling, a layered gypsum ceiling with deep cove detailing and concealed warm lighting, perimeter floor or banquette seating that follows the walls, and richer materials — darker timbers, ornate plaster, patterned textiles. The effect is enclosing and ceremonial. It rewards craftsmanship: the panelling repeats and the cornices are where quality is visible or isn't. ## The modern majlis A contemporary majlis keeps the function — generous, guest-facing seating and a sense of arrival — but strips the language back. Flat or simply-stepped ceilings with linear cove or recessed lighting, large plain or microcement/Venetian feature walls, slimmer profiles, and looser furniture groupings rather than a continuous perimeter bench. Materials are calmer: stone, neutral plaster, timber as an accent rather than the whole room. It reads lighter and is easier to integrate with an open-plan villa. ## Side by side | Element | Traditional | Modern | | --- | --- | --- | | **Walls** | Carved Arabic geometric panelling | Plain, microcement or Venetian feature wall | | **Ceiling** | Layered gypsum, deep coves, ornate | Flat/stepped, linear cove or recessed | | **Seating** | Continuous perimeter banquette | Loose, grouped, generous | | **Materials** | Darker timber, ornate plaster, pattern | Stone, neutral plaster, accent timber | | **Feel** | Enclosing, ceremonial | Light, integrated, calm | A guide to the design language — the right mix for your villa is confirmed at the design stage of a free site visit. ## How to choose - **Match the villa.** A heavily traditional majlis in an otherwise minimal villa can feel disconnected; many owners choose a "transitional" middle — modern shell, a few traditional cues (one panelled wall, a coved ceiling). - **Consider how it's used.** Frequent large-gathering hosting suits perimeter seating; occasional formal use suits flexible groupings. - **Mind the ceiling height.** Deep traditional coving needs height; in lower rooms a restrained modern ceiling reads better. - **Lighting does the work.** Either style lives or dies on layered, warm, dimmable lighting and clean cove execution. ## What the build actually involves Whichever style wins, a majlis is gypsum, joinery, lighting and finishing interlocking — set the ceiling and panelling out together or the lines never meet. Pricing tracks panelling complexity and ceiling depth, so the quote is itemised against the chosen design rather than a round number offered blind. The detail that separates a crisp majlis from a misaligned one is that the cove, panelling and lighting are set out by one in-house team — not parcelled to a subcontractor and hoped into alignment. Still weighing traditional against modern? Bring the room to our [Majlis & living renovation](https://cityrenovations.ae/renovation/#majlis) team and we'll work the style through with you. ## FAQ What's the real difference between a traditional and modern majlis? Function is the same — formal, guest-facing reception. The difference is language: traditional uses carved Arabic panelling, deep ornate gypsum coving and perimeter banquette seating; modern uses plainer feature walls, flat or simply-stepped ceilings with linear lighting and looser furniture. Many owners choose a transitional mix. Can I mix the two styles? Yes — a transitional majlis is common: a modern shell with selected traditional cues such as one panelled wall or a coved ceiling. It often integrates better with a contemporary villa than a fully traditional room would. Does ceiling height affect the style choice? It does. Deep traditional coving and layered gypsum need height to look right; in a lower room a restrained modern ceiling reads better and avoids a heavy, compressed feel. We assess this at the design stage. What drives the cost of a majlis renovation? Mostly panelling complexity, ceiling depth and joinery, plus lighting and finishes. We quote it itemised and fixed; any indicative ranges are confirmed in your written quote after a free site visit rather than committed to up front. Who builds the panelling and ceiling — is it coordinated? We build it with in-house gypsum, carpentry and finishing trades under one project manager, set out together so the cove, panelling and lighting lines meet. We don't subcontract the panelling separately and hope it aligns. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE?

Indicative per-sqft ranges for a Dubai office fit-out — Cat-A vs Cat-B, by quality tier, and what moves the number. By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 This guide is for businesses, office managers and tenant reps budgeting a fit-out in Dubai — DIFC, Business Bay, JLT, Internet City or a free-zone tower. The bands below are indicative planning figures from current UAE commercial work, not a quote. Office fit-out is priced per square foot and driven by specification, MEP load and landlord/authority requirements, so a real number always follows a measured BOQ. ## Indicative per-sqft bands | Fit-out type | What it covers | Indicative AED / sqft | | --- | --- | --- | | **Cat-A (base build)** | Raised floor, ceiling grid, basic MEP, finishes to shell | AED 300–500 | | **Cat-B — standard** | Partitions, workstations zoning, MEP distribution, basic joinery | AED 500–800 | | **Cat-B — premium** | Bespoke joinery, feature ceilings, AV, glazing, branded spaces | AED 800–1,500+ | | **Warehouse / industrial** | Epoxy floor, racking-ready, basic office pod, services | AED 150–350 | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised BOQ is confirmed after a free site visit. ## Cost by office size (Cat-B standard) | Office | Indicative area | Indicative range | | --- | --- | --- | | **Small suite** | ~1,500 sqft | AED 750,000–1,200,000 | | **Floor plate** | ~5,000 sqft | AED 2,500,000–4,000,000 | | **Multi-floor HQ** | 10,000 sqft+ | AED 5,000,000+ | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised BOQ is confirmed after a free site visit. ## What swings a fit-out budget - **Cat-A vs Cat-B.** Whether the landlord delivers a serviced base build or you fit out from shell changes the per-sqft figure substantially. - **MEP load.** Server rooms, dense meeting suites and kitchens drive HVAC, power and drainage well beyond an open-plan baseline. - **Specification.** Acoustic glazing, bespoke joinery, feature ceilings and AV are the biggest swing items. - **Landlord & authority requirements.** Free-zone, DDA, Trakhees or DM/DCD sign-off, plus landlord licence-for-alterations, add programme and cost. - **Reinstatement obligations.** Lease make-good clauses are easy to forget at budget stage and real at exit. - **Phasing & access.** After-hours work to keep a tower operational carries a premium. - **Density.** Headcount per floor sets partitioning, services and furniture intensity. ## What a fit-out BOQ covers **In the BOQ:** a free site visit, a measured itemised BOQ, RAMS and programme, single-PM delivery, MEP, joinery, flooring and finishes coordinated in-house, DM/DCD/DEWA and landlord NOC handling where the scope requires it, and a written workmanship guarantee with the period stated in handover documents. **Outside the BOQ:** loose furniture and IT/AV hardware unless specified, statutory and authority fees paid directly, and lease reinstatement unless scoped — we price it explicitly rather than leave it implied. A delivery note from experience: on occupied towers we sequence noisy and wet trades into after-hours windows agreed with building management before mobilising, so the BOQ reflects the access reality, not an empty-shell assumption. We deliver fit-out as a managed contract under one project manager — not piecemeal trades. Need a measured BOQ for your space? [See our commercial renovation & office fit-out services](https://cityrenovations.ae/renovation/commercial-renovation-dubai/) or book a free site visit. ## FAQ What is a realistic per-sqft budget for a Dubai office fit-out in 2026? As an indicative planning band, a standard Cat-B office fit-out tends to run AED 500–800 per sqft, with premium specifications pushing AED 800–1,500+ and warehouse/industrial work lower. The confirmed figure follows a measured BOQ after a free site visit. What's the difference between Cat-A and Cat-B for budgeting? Cat-A is the base build a landlord may deliver — raised floor, ceiling grid, base services. Cat-B is your actual workspace: partitions, joinery, MEP distribution, branding. If you're fitting out from shell you carry both, which is why confirming what the landlord provides is the first budgeting step. Do you handle DM, Civil Defence and free-zone approvals? Yes. DM/DCD permit submissions, DEWA coordination, free-zone or DDA/Trakhees sign-off and the landlord licence-for-alterations are handled as part of the project, with RAMS supplied alongside the quote. Can you work after hours so the office keeps running? Yes — on occupied buildings we sequence disruptive trades into agreed after-hours windows. That access constraint is built into the programme and the BOQ rather than discovered mid-project. Should I budget for lease reinstatement now? It's worth doing. Many Dubai leases require making the space good at exit. We can scope and price reinstatement explicitly so it isn't a surprise at the end of the term. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE?

By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 This guide is for villa owners in Dubai planning to add space — a room, a majlis, a maid's room, a covered terrace or a first-floor addition — and trying to understand the approval process before committing. The permit side is where extension projects most often stall, so it's worth knowing what triggers approval, what documents are needed and where the time actually goes. None of this is legal advice; requirements vary by plot, community and the authority with jurisdiction, and we confirm the exact route for your property before any drawings are issued. ## What needs approval — and what usually doesn't The dividing line is whether you're changing the building's footprint, structure or external character. As a rule of thumb: - **Needs approval:** any increase in built-up area (ground or first-floor extensions), changes to load-bearing structure, new external walls or roofs, façade changes, and additions that affect setbacks or plot coverage. - **Usually doesn't:** internal cosmetic renovation that keeps the structure and footprint as-is — repainting, re-flooring, kitchen or bathroom refits within existing walls. - **The grey area:** removing internal walls (load-bearing vs partition), enclosing a balcony, or converting a garage — these often need structural sign-off even when the footprint barely moves. Because that line is easy to misjudge, the first step is always an assessment of what the work actually triggers — not an assumption that "it's just a small extension". ## The documents involved An extension submission typically pulls together a set of documents rather than a single form: the property title and affection plan, existing and proposed architectural drawings, a structural engineer's drawings and calculations for anything load-bearing, MEP drawings where services move, and consultant approval where required. Built-up villas in managed communities also need a developer or community NOC, and utility coordination (DEWA and, where relevant, district cooling) when the extension changes loads or connections. Most delays trace back to incomplete or inconsistent documents — drawings that don't match the affection plan, or a missing NOC discovered late. We assemble the set as one coordinated package so it goes in clean the first time. ## Where the time goes Owners usually underestimate the front end and overestimate the build. A realistic mental model for a villa extension is three phases: design and documentation, approvals and NOCs, then construction. The approvals phase is the variable one — it depends on the authority, the community, the completeness of the submission and any review comments. Treat it as weeks, not days, and sequence the build to start only once the permit is genuinely in hand. We give a realistic programme up front rather than an optimistic one that collapses at the approval stage. ## Who carries the paperwork On the extensions we deliver, the approval workload sits with us, not the owner. We prepare the drawings, engage the structural input, compile the submission, lodge it, respond to review comments and track NOCs through to issue — and only mobilise trades once approval is in place. That single line of accountability is the point: extensions go wrong when the design, the permit and the build are three disconnected parties pointing at each other. One scope note from experience: we don't start structural work "while the permit is being sorted" — it's the fastest way to a stop-work order and a worse outcome. And we don't take on standalone drawing-only commissions divorced from delivery; the approval and the build are quoted as one accountable package, itemised and fixed, confirmed after a free site visit. Planning an addition? Have our [structural & extension](https://cityrenovations.ae/renovation/#structural) team check what your plot, community and scope will actually require before any drawings begin. ## FAQ Does every villa extension in Dubai need a permit? Anything that increases built-up area, alters load-bearing structure, changes the façade or affects setbacks needs approval. Purely internal cosmetic work that keeps structure and footprint unchanged generally does not. The safest first step is an assessment of what your specific scope triggers, because the boundary is easy to misjudge. What documents are needed for an extension submission? Typically the title and affection plan, existing and proposed architectural drawings, structural drawings and calculations for load-bearing work, MEP drawings where services move, and a developer or community NOC in managed communities — plus utility coordination where loads change. Incomplete or mismatched documents are the main cause of delay. How long does villa extension approval take? Plan in phases — design and documentation, then approvals and NOCs, then construction. The approvals phase is the variable one and depends on the authority, community and submission quality; think in weeks, not days. We give a realistic programme and only start the build once the permit is genuinely issued. Do you handle the Dubai Municipality approval and NOCs for me? Yes. On the extensions we deliver, we prepare the drawings, arrange structural input, compile and lodge the submission, answer review comments and track NOCs to issue, then mobilise — so design, permit and build stay under one accountable team rather than three disconnected parties. Can construction start before the permit is issued? We don't begin structural work before approval is in hand — starting early risks a stop-work order and a costlier outcome. The programme is sequenced so site work follows the permit, not the other way around. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE?

By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 This guide is for villa owners deciding whether to repaint an exterior, and frustrated that a previous job faded, chalked or flaked within a season or two. The UAE is one of the harshest environments for an external coating in the world — and most early failures are about the system and the preparation, not the colour. Here's what actually drives longevity. ## What the UAE does to a coating - **UV.** Intense, year-round ultraviolet breaks down binders and pigments — the cause of fading and chalking (that powdery surface when you rub a wall). - **Heat & thermal cycling.** Façades reach extreme surface temperatures by day and cool sharply at night; the substrate expands and contracts, and a brittle coating cracks along that movement. - **Salt (coastal).** Near the coast, airborne salt drives efflorescence and accelerates breakdown of both coating and substrate, and corrodes embedded fixings. - **Dust & humidity.** Wind-blown dust abrades and soils; humidity and condensation feed mould and undermine adhesion where prep was poor. ## Why repaints fail early Almost always one of: painting over a chalking or contaminated surface (the new coat bonds to dust, not the wall); not treating existing cracks and efflorescence first; a coating that's too rigid for the façade's movement; or simply too few coats at the wrong film thickness. None of these are visible on handover day — they surface months later, which is why a cheap repaint is rarely cheap. ## The system that lasts Longevity comes from a specified system, not a tin: thorough surface preparation (clean down to a sound, dust-free substrate; treat efflorescence and damp at source; stabilise chalking with the correct primer), crack and movement detailing, an elastomeric or UV-stable exterior coating suited to the façade, and correct film build over enough coats. Done properly, a UAE exterior repaint should hold its finish for years, not seasons — the range depends on exposure and substrate, and we set a realistic expectation in writing rather than a marketing number. ## Coastal vs inland | Factor | Coastal (Palm, JBR, Jumeirah) | Inland (Ranches, Mirdif, Hills) | | --- | --- | --- | | **Dominant stress** | Salt + UV + humidity | UV + heat + dust | | **Prep emphasis** | Salt/efflorescence treatment, corrosion check on fixings | Chalking stabilisation, crack treatment | | **System bias** | Salt-tolerant, breathable, flexible | High UV stability, elastomeric for movement | | **Re-coat interval** | Shorter — coastal exposure is harsher | Longer with correct prep | Indicative guidance — the right system and interval for your villa are confirmed after a free site visit. ## What we actually do The repaint starts with a diagnosis, not a brush — why did the last coat go? The façade is then cleaned back to a sound substrate, cracks and efflorescence treated at source, the right primer stabilises what remains, and only then does a UV/heat- (and coastally, salt-) rated system go on at the film build it needs. A moving or contaminated wall is corrected first; coating straight over it is exactly the early failure owners later ask us to undo. The application guarantee and its scope sit in the quote in writing. Thinking about a repaint? Have our [exterior villa painting](https://cityrenovations.ae/painting/#exterior) team read the façade and its exposure before you commit to a colour. ## FAQ Why did my villa's exterior paint fade or peel so quickly? Usually prep, not the paint: painting over a chalking or contaminated surface, untreated cracks or efflorescence, a coating too rigid for façade movement, or too little film build. UAE UV, heat cycling and (coastal) salt then expose the weakness within a season or two. How long should an exterior repaint last in the UAE? With correct preparation and a specified UV/heat-stable system, a UAE exterior should hold its finish for years rather than seasons. The exact interval depends on exposure and substrate — coastal villas re-coat sooner than inland — and we set a realistic expectation in writing. Is coastal villa painting different from inland? Yes. Coastal façades face salt and humidity on top of UV, so prep emphasises salt/efflorescence treatment and fixing corrosion, with a salt-tolerant flexible system. Inland is UV, heat and dust driven, prioritising chalking stabilisation and movement-tolerant coatings. Can you just paint over the existing coating? Only if it's sound. If the surface is chalking, contaminated or cracking, a new coat bonds to the problem and fails with it. We treat the substrate first and won't paint over an unsound façade to meet a price. Do you guarantee exterior painting work? The system we apply is specified in the quote and carries a written workmanship guarantee covering application issues from our prep or workmanship, with the period and exclusions stated in your handover documents. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE?

Honest, indicative ranges for a Dubai villa renovation — by area, by scope, and what actually moves the number. By **City Renovations team** Published 2026-05-19 This guide is for villa owners in Dubai weighing up a cosmetic refresh against a full renovation, and trying to get a realistic budget before anyone walks the property. The figures below are indicative bands drawn from current UAE project experience — useful for planning, not a quote. Every villa is different, so the only number that matters in the end is the itemised one we put in writing after a free site visit. ## Indicative per-sqft bands Most Dubai villa renovations land somewhere on this spread, measured against built-up area: | Renovation level | What it covers | Indicative AED / sqft | | --- | --- | --- | | **Cosmetic refresh** | Paint, flooring, light fixtures, minor joinery — no layout or MEP change | AED 250–400 | | **Mid renovation** | Kitchen + bathrooms, new finishes, partial MEP, some joinery | AED 400–650 | | **Full renovation** | Strip-out, reconfigured layout, full MEP re-route, new wet areas, bespoke joinery | AED 650–1,100 | | **Structural / extension-led** | Load-bearing changes, extensions, façade work, DM approvals | AED 1,000–1,500+ | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. ## Cost by villa size As a rough lump-sum sanity check by bedroom count, for a mid-to-full renovation: | Villa | Typical built-up | Indicative full-renovation range | | --- | --- | --- | | **3-bed** | ~2,500–3,500 sqft | AED 250,000–650,000 | | **4-bed** | ~3,500–5,000 sqft | AED 400,000–950,000 | | **5-bed+** | 5,000 sqft and up | AED 700,000–1,500,000+ | Indicative starting ranges — your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. ## What moves a villa-renovation number - **Finish level.** The jump from standard porcelain to natural marble and bespoke joinery can double a budget on its own. - **MEP re-routing.** Moving kitchens, bathrooms or adding a laundry pulls plumbing and electrical work that isn't visible but is rarely cheap. - **Structural change.** Removing walls, adding an extension or altering the façade brings engineering, Dubai Municipality approval and NOC handling into scope. - **Wet-area count.** Each bathroom and the kitchen carries waterproofing, tanking and tiling — the most labour-dense rooms in any villa. - **Community rules.** Some communities cap working hours or require developer/HOA NOCs, which lengthens programme and cost. - **Condition of what's hidden.** Old cabling, failed waterproofing or corroded pipework discovered at strip-out shifts the number. - **Occupied vs empty.** Phasing a renovation around a living family costs more than a clear site. ## What a City Renovations villa quote covers **In the quote:** a free site visit, an itemised fixed-price quote, design and material selection support, all in-house trades (we don't subcontract the core work), DM/authority documentation where the scope requires it, project management on one WhatsApp thread, and a written workmanship guarantee with the period and exclusions stated in your handover documents. **Priced separately:** furniture and loose FF&E, statutory fees that are paid directly to authorities, and any latent-defect remediation only discoverable once walls or floors are opened — flagged and priced as a variation before we proceed, never absorbed silently. One scope note from experience: on our recent Dubai villa kitchens, MEP re-routing alone has run two to three weeks before a single cabinet goes in — so when a layout changes, the timeline moves before the finishes do. We also don't take on standalone emergency call-outs; renovation works are delivered as a managed package. Ready to put a real number against your villa? [See our villa renovation services](https://cityrenovations.ae/renovation/) or book a free site visit and we'll itemise it properly. ## FAQ What should I budget for a full villa renovation in Dubai in 2026? As an indicative planning band, a full renovation of a typical 4-bed Dubai villa tends to fall between AED 400,000 and AED 950,000 depending on finish level, how much MEP is re-routed and whether the layout changes. Structural or extension-led work pushes above that. Your itemised quote is confirmed after a free site visit. Is it cheaper to refresh than to fully renovate? Yes, materially. A cosmetic refresh — paint, flooring, fixtures with no layout or MEP change — typically runs a fraction of a full renovation per sqft. The decision usually comes down to whether the existing layout and wet areas still work for you. Do you handle Dubai Municipality approvals for structural changes? Where the scope touches load-bearing elements, extensions or the façade, we prepare the drawings, submit for Dubai Municipality approval and track NOCs through to issue as part of the project, rather than leaving you to chase authorities. How long does a full villa renovation take? For a mid-to-full villa renovation, plan on roughly three to six months depending on size, structural scope and approvals. The sequence — strip-out, MEP, wet areas, finishes, commissioning — is what drives the programme more than the cosmetic work. Why is the quote only confirmed after a site visit? Because the figures that move a villa budget most — hidden services, waterproofing condition, structural feasibility, community constraints — are only visible on site. The ranges here are for planning; the itemised quote is what we stand behind. ## Planning a project in Dubai or the UAE?

[Get a Strip-Out Quote](#quote) Our Process ## Simple, Transparent, On Time We handle everything from first site visit to final handover — keeping you informed at every stage. 1 Free Site Visit Our consultant visits, walks the property, identifies what's structural vs cosmetic, flags anything that needs DM approval, and answers your questions — no obligation, no cost. 2 Detailed Quote You receive a transparent itemised quote within 48 hours — block specs, plaster type, tile substrate, ceiling system, materials, labour, timeline, and milestones all clearly laid out. 3 Managed Execution Our in-house trades execute under a dedicated site manager. Sequenced properly — demolition, MEP rough-in, block, plaster, ceilings, tiling — with daily progress updates. 4 Final Handover We conduct a full quality walkthrough with you, hand over DM documentation and waste manifests where applicable, and activate your workmanship warranty. Working in Dubai ## UAE-Specific Coordination, Handled Civil works in Dubai aren't just about the trade itself — they're about working within Ramadan hours, Friday-Saturday building rules, gated-community access protocols, and tower building-management approvals. We factor all of it into the quote. Friday & Saturday rules Most apartment buildings (JLT, Marina, Downtown, Business Bay) prohibit noisy works on Friday and restrict Saturday hours. We schedule cutting, demolition, and drilling around building bylaws. Gated-community access Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Jumeirah Islands, Al Barari — each gated community has its own security pass, working-hours and waste-removal protocols. We file the access paperwork before mobilisation. Building-management coordination For apartment towers and free-zone offices (DIFC, JLT, Business Bay, Internet City), we get the building's NOC letter, book lift slots for material delivery, and confirm working windows before any crew shows up. Why City Renovations ## Civil Works, Done Properly Civil works are the trades that show up later, when something cracks, leaks, or fails inspection. We do the boring parts right so the finishes hold up for decades. DM, NOC & Authority Coordination We flag when Dubai Municipality approval, building-management NOCs or utility coordination may be required, then handle the paperwork, inspections and handover documents tied to your scope — no chasing approvals yourself. In-House Trades Only No sub-contracting on civil trades. Every trade — block layers, plasterers, tilers, ceiling fitters, pipe-fitters — is on our payroll. Quality stays consistent, blame games don't happen. Sequenced Properly Civil works fail when trades are out of sequence — tiling on a damp screed, plaster before MEP rough-in. Our site managers run a proper sequence so you don't pay twice for rework. UAE Climate Specs AAC blocks for hot-side villa walls, anti-slip porcelain for pool decks, epoxy grout for wet areas, weather-grade exterior plaster — we spec for the UAE climate, not against it. Transparent Pricing Detailed itemised quotes with no hidden costs. Staged payment milestones tied to completed inspections — never upfront lump sums. Workmanship Warranty Written workmanship warranty on every civil trade, with the period for each trade stated in your contract. Material warranties from premium suppliers pass through directly to you, documented in the handover pack. Our Commitment ## What You Get, In Writing - **Free site visit + fixed-price quote in 48 hours.** No charge to scope the work and put a clear, itemised number in your hands. - **Zero deposit until you approve the quote.** You only commit once the quote is signed off — nothing down to get started. - **One named site manager, daily WhatsApp updates.** A single point of contact from the first visit to final handover. - **Workmanship warranty, stated in your contract.** Every job is backed in writing; the period is set per project. - **In-house trades — no subcontractor surprises.** Your civil works are delivered by our own trades, managed end-to-end. Frequently Asked Questions ## Civil Works Questions, Answered What counts as 'civil works' vs renovation? + Civil works are the structural and finishing trades that sit underneath a renovation — block walls, plaster, gypsum ceilings, tile substrate, pipework. Renovation is the room-level scope (a kitchen, a bathroom, a Majlis). Most renovation projects include civil works as part of the package, but you can also book civil works on their own if you only need one trade — e.g. a re-tile, a boundary wall, or a ceiling redesign. Do I need Dubai Municipality approval for any of this? + Structural changes — load-bearing wall removal, new openings in load-bearing block, boundary wall changes, structural extensions — require Dubai Municipality (DM) approval and an NOC. Non-structural partition walls, replacement tiling, plaster repairs, and ceiling redesigns typically don't. Our consultant will flag what needs DM approval during the free site visit, and we file all applications and handle inspections on your behalf. Can I book just one trade — like tile work or plaster — on its own? + Yes. Civil works trades can be booked standalone. A bathroom re-tile, a ceiling redesign, a boundary wall, a plaster crack repair — all single-trade scopes are welcome. We'll quote them itemised so you see exactly what you're paying for. The minimum job size is typically AED 5,000 for a standalone civil-trade visit; smaller scopes are usually bundled into a larger package. How do you sequence civil works on a renovation? + Standard sequence: dismantling first → utilities isolated and MEP roughed-in → block work and structural changes → plaster (interior and exterior) → ceilings and drywall → tile substrate prep and waterproofing → tiling → paint and decorative finishes. We won't tile onto a damp screed, plaster over wet block, or lay flooring before the ceiling is finished. Site manager checks each gate before the next trade starts. Do you handle hazardous materials like asbestos? + Yes. For older buildings (pre-2000), we screen for asbestos and lead paint during the free site visit, and arrange certified lab testing where it looks suspect. Where hazmat is confirmed, we use sealed containment, trained crews, certified disposal contractors, and provide DM-compliant waste manifests. This is included in the itemised quote, never a surprise cost. What's a typical timeline for a civil works package? + Depends on scope. A single bathroom re-tile is 5–10 days. A full villa internal-wall reconfiguration with plaster, ceilings, and tiling is 6–12 weeks. A boundary wall is 1–2 weeks. A re-pipe is 2–3 weeks. We provide a fixed timeline in your quote and stick to it — staged milestones with weekly progress photos. What about workmanship warranty on civil trades? + All civil works carry a written workmanship warranty, with the period for each trade stated in your contract and handover pack. Manufacturer warranties on materials are passed through directly (porcelain, gypsum board, AAC blocks etc.). We document everything in your handover pack. Can you work in apartments where the building has rules? + Yes. We've worked across most apartment buildings in Dubai — JBR, Marina, Downtown, JLT, Business Bay. We co-ordinate with building management for working hours, noise restrictions, lift bookings, and waste removal protocols. Our crews are briefed on building-specific rules before they show up. Do you handle building management NOCs for apartments and offices? + Yes. For apartments, towers and commercial fit-outs, we coordinate with building management for NOCs, lift bookings, working hours, noise rules, waste removal and access passes before work starts.
