What we look for first
A renovation quotation is only as honest as the survey behind it. These are the things we check before pricing anything.
01Wiring and distribution
Older Dubai properties often carry undersized circuits and no RCD protection. We test before we price.
02Plumbing and waterproofing
Bathroom leaks are the most expensive surprise. We check falls, membranes and old pipework.
03AC condition
Ducting, insulation and unit age decide whether an upgrade or a replacement is the honest answer.
04Structure and walls
Which walls carry load, and what a layout change would really require.
05Floor substrate
Levels, cracking and moisture, because new flooring over a bad substrate fails within a year.
06Windows and joinery
Seals, glazing and whether existing joinery is worth keeping or should be remade.

Questions about this service
Do I need approval to renovate my apartment?
Usually yes. Most buildings require a fit-out NOC from the developer or owners association, and anything structural or affecting MEP needs Dubai Municipality approval. We handle both.
Can you renovate one room only?
Yes. Single kitchens and bathrooms are common projects for us, and they follow the same process, only shorter.
What if you find a problem once work starts?
We stop, photograph it, price it and get your written approval before continuing. Nothing is added to your bill without that.
