Villa renovation cost in Dubai and the UAE
We take on one kind of project: a full renovation of a villa at the high end of the market, turnkey, from AED 10,000 per m². We do not do cosmetic refreshes or partial renovations.
Full renovation only
Every project covers the whole villa: layout and structure, all services, finishes, bespoke joinery, and the craft on top of them — natural stone, hand-run mouldings, painted ceilings. It runs as one contract and one programme.
We do not take on cosmetic refreshes, redecoration, or a kitchen or bathroom on its own. If that is what a villa needs, a different contractor is the right choice, and we say so in the first conversation rather than quote for work we would not stand behind.

The figure moves with materials and brands at the finishing stage; the structure, services and labour behind it stay the same. See what it buys on a 1,500 m² villa.
Estimate your villa
One input: the area of the villa in square metres. The calculation runs in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere, and the formula is printed below.
Starting figure
Below 700 m² we are not the right contractor for the villa.
Formula: area in m² × AED 10,000. Approval fees, loose furniture and landscaping outside the villa footprint sit outside this figure.
Send this to usWhat moves the number
The rate is where a figure starts, not where it ends. What takes it higher is a short list: how much stone is imported and how it is cut, how much of the joinery is bespoke, painted ceilings and lighting, whether walls move, and whether the villa sits in a community that requires its own approvals and working-hour limits.
The cheapest way to control cost is to fix the scope before work starts. Variations agreed on site, mid-project, are what turn a quoted figure into a final figure that nobody predicted.
