How We Work

# Our Project Process  
_in Dubai & the UAE_

Every project follows a clear path: site visit, survey, scope, itemised quote, scheduled build, daily WhatsApp updates, snagging and written handover. The details change by service, but the accountability stays with one in-house team.

Five Phases

## The same backbone on every project.

1

Day 0

Understand

Phone or in-home conversation about scope, timeline, and budget. Free site visit booked, usually within 48 hours.

2

Week 1

Design / Survey

Detailed survey, layout exploration, material selection. Some services include 3D visualisation (notably garden design and full villa renovations).

3

Week 1–2

Quote

Fixed-price, fully itemised quote — every line clear. We agree scope, schedule, payment milestones and any client-supplied items.

4

Build

Build

In-house team executes. Daily WhatsApp photo updates, weekly walk-throughs, single point of contact. Schedule tracked daily.

5

Handover

Snag & Hand Over

Joint walkthrough, snagging resolved, warranty documents issued. Aftercare contact remains open for the duration of the workmanship guarantee.

Where a project needs building management, community, landlord or Dubai Municipality approvals, we flag the requirement during the survey and document the responsibility before work starts.

What's Standard

## Six things included on every job.

Single point of contact

One project manager owns your job from quote to handover. No call centre, no chasing — direct WhatsApp.

Itemised quotes, no padding

Materials, labour, sub-trades and contingency all listed. If something changes, you see the line item before it changes.

Daily WhatsApp updates

A morning photo every day, plus end-of-day status. Particularly valuable for clients overseas.

In-house trades

Tilers, painters, plumbers, electricians, gardeners — direct employees. No subcontractors blurring accountability.

Written guarantees

Workmanship guaranteed in writing — including waterproofing on every wet area we build — with the guarantee period stated in your contract.

Schedule discipline

Fixed dates in your quote, daily progress tracking, transparent escalation if anything shifts.

Service-Specific Detail

## Each service has its own playbook.

The five-phase backbone is universal. The specific cadence, deliverables, and warranties differ by service — see each landing page for the detail.
