In your contract.

Usually yes. Any change to the structure, the external envelope, the plumbing routes or the electrical load requires approval from the authority that governs your plot — Dubai Municipality, Trakhees or DDA. Cosmetic work such as painting, flooring or replacing kitchen units generally does not. We confirm which category your project falls into before quoting, and we tell you when no permit is needed at all.

It depends on the community, not on the type of work. Palm Jumeirah, Jebel Ali and the free-zone areas fall under Trakhees. Most freehold communities inside the city — Emirates Hills, Springs, Meadows, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills — fall under Dubai Municipality. Districts developed by Dubai Development Authority fall under DDA. We identify the authority from your plot number and handle the submission ourselves.

A light refurbishment — finishes, paint, flooring, joinery — typically runs AED 65–110 per sq ft (AED 700–1,200 per m²). A full renovation including MEP replacement, new bathrooms and a new kitchen runs AED 150–260 per sq ft (AED 1,600–2,800 per m²). Structural work, extensions and pools are priced separately. The range depends on specification far more than on area, which is why our calculator asks about the level of finish before it returns a figure.

The handover date is written into the contract with a penalty against us for every week of delay. That penalty is ours to carry, not yours. The only exceptions are changes you request mid-project and authority delays outside our control — both of which are documented in writing at the time they occur, not claimed at the end.

For a partial renovation, often yes — we phase the work, seal the active zone and keep one bathroom and the kitchen in service. For a full renovation involving MEP replacement it is not practical or safe, and we plan the programme around your move-out date so the villa is empty for the shortest possible period.

Our licence and our crews are based in Dubai and that is where we build. The group also builds in France through GREEN LINE SAS. For a villa or commercial project, assume Dubai.
