Villa and townhouse
fit-out in Dubai
Interiors, facade, landscaping and extensions under one contract — the whole plot, not just the rooms inside it.
Scope of works
A villa is the longest programme we run — twenty-four to twenty-six weeks on a full scope — and the one where the neighbours have the most say. The date holds because the approval queue and the trades are ours, not because we work faster.
Strip-out where needed, partitions, ceilings, joinery, marble and finishes — room by room to a single material story.
External finishes, cladding, glazing and the detailing that decides how the villa reads from the street.
Hard and soft landscaping, pool surrounds, irrigation and external lighting, sequenced so the garden is not a building site at handover.
Backyard and villa extensions where the plot and the community rules allow — designed, approved and built.
Pipework, wiring and HVAC renewed where the building allows it, so new finishes sit on new services.
Community and developer NOCs, service shutdowns, delivery and working-hour windows.
Villa fit-out in Dubai, from the inside
The part that decides your date is rarely the part on the mood board.
A villa is the plot, not the rooms
Most contractors price a villa as an interior job with some external work attached. That is where the programme breaks. On a full villa scope the facade, the landscaping and any extension are not add-ons — they are parallel programmes with their own approvals, their own long-lead materials and their own weather window.
We price and sequence the whole plot from day one: what happens inside, what happens on the elevation, what happens in the garden, and in which order, so that the garden is not a building site on the day the family moves in.
The community is a second authority
Jumeirah Islands, Dubai Hills, The Palm — each master community has an owners association and a developer, and each has rules about working hours, material storage, skip placement, contractor access and what you may change on an elevation that faces a neighbour.
The NOC is not a formality and it is not the client's homework. Drawings, insurances and contractor documents go through the developer or the association in our name, because the family living next door will complain to the association, not to us.
Extensions are a design problem before they are a building one
A backyard extension or a villa extension changes the built-up area, and that puts it in front of the authority as well as the community. Plot coverage, setbacks, drainage and how the new structure ties into the existing one all have to be resolved on paper before anyone digs.
Done properly it is the highest-value work on a villa. Done as an afterthought it is the thing that holds up the handover of a house that is otherwise finished.
What actually sets a villa programme
Twenty-four to twenty-six weeks is normal for a full scope on a large villa, and the length comes from three places: the approval chain, long-lead materials, and the fact that facade and landscaping cannot be compressed by adding men indoors.
Stone is the classic long-lead item. Full-height marble and bookmatched slabs are set out on a drawing and cut in a factory — the setting-out is worth more than the choice of stone, and it has to be frozen weeks before the room is ready to receive it.

Questions we hear on every project
Do you do the facade and the garden too, or only the interior?
Both, under one contract. On most of our villas the scope is interiors plus facade plus landscaping, and on several it also includes an extension. Splitting them between contractors is what puts a garden under scaffolding on handover day.
Who gets the community NOC?
We do. Drawings, insurances and contractor documents go through the developer or the owners association in our name.
Can you extend the villa?
Where the plot coverage, the setbacks and the community rules allow it. That is established on paper before anything is priced, because an extension changes the built-up area and goes to the authority as well as the community.
How long does a full villa take?
Twenty-four to twenty-six weeks on a large villa with a full scope. Our 870 m² villa in Jumeirah Islands ran twenty-six; a landscaping-and-extension scope on The Palm ran eight.
How fast can you start?
A site visit within 24 hours of your message. On a build-only job with approved drawings, mobilisation is usually two weeks. On design and build, the approval stage sets the start date — and we tell you honestly what it will take.
Do you handle the authority approvals?
Yes, inside the contract: Municipality and food control for restaurants, the landlord manual and mall authority for retail, building management for offices, community NOCs for villas.
How is payment structured?
Staged against progress on site, with a retention held to the end of the defects period. Nothing is invoiced ahead of work completed.
What happens if the programme slips?
You get the revised programme the week it happens, with the reason and the recovery plan — not on handover day. Most slips are born in the approval queue, which is why we run it ourselves.
Do you work with our designer?
Yes. We build to a third-party design as readily as to our own, and we flag anything that will not pass approval or hold on site.
Who owns the drawings and approvals?
You do. As-builts, permits and warranties are handed over with the keys — nothing is withheld.
