Measured, design-led overhauls for established lakeside villas—with scope, allowances, Nakheel coordination and programme fixed before construction.
The short answer
A full villa renovation in Dubai starts around AED 150,000 for a compact townhouse refresh, commonly runs AED 350,000–700,000 for a 4–5 bedroom villa, and can exceed AED 1.5M for large luxury or structural scopes. A coordinated build typically takes 12–28 weeks after approvals.
AED 400,000 – 1,500,000
Jumeirah Islands villas are established lakeside homes where a full renovation commonly reaches beyond finishes. Master View, Oasis, Garden Hall and Entertainment Foyer properties can require layout reconfiguration, kitchen and bathroom replacement, MEP renewal, joinery, glazing, pool interfaces and external works to be coordinated as one programme. We begin with a measured survey and room-by-room scope. Structural openings, wet-area changes, electrical loads, air-conditioning requirements and waterfront-facing envelope details are resolved before ceilings and finishes close the work. The BOQ records specified products or written allowances, procurement responsibilities, exclusions and milestones so competing proposals can be compared on the same basis. Internal refurbishment, structural alterations, extensions and visible external changes do not follow one identical approval route. We identify which parts of the proposed scope require Nakheel DCUP, consultant or Dubai Municipality coordination and sequence submissions before mobilisation. Owners receive one accountable programme, an itemized fixed proposal and written 3-year workmanship-warranty terms before the overhaul begins.

A dependable programme separates design and approvals from site construction, locks long-lead selections before demolition, and gives every trade a defined handover point. The stages below are planning allowances; the signed programme is based on the measured scope.
| Stage | Planning allowance | What is resolved |
|---|---|---|
| Survey, design and BOQ | 2–6 weeks | Existing conditions, layout, finish schedule, quantities and exclusions |
| NOCs and authority permits | 2–8 weeks | Community review, consultant drawings and applicable permits |
| Protection and strip-out | 1–3 weeks | Isolation, demolition, disposal and concealed-condition review |
| Structural and MEP works | 3–8 weeks | Layout changes, electrical, plumbing, AC and waterproofing |
| Finishes and joinery | 5–12 weeks | Ceilings, floors, kitchens, bathrooms, wardrobes and decoration |
| Testing, snagging and handover | 1–3 weeks | Commissioning, defects, documents, cleaning and warranty handover |
A vacant villa is normally faster and safer to renovate. Phased occupation can be assessed, but it adds protection, access and sequencing constraints that must appear in the programme and price.

A substantial full-villa scope typically plans at AED 400,000–1,500,000. Villa type, structural changes, MEP renewal, finish grade, pool or external work and product selections determine the final figure. We issue a measured, itemized proposal before construction.
A defined full-villa programme commonly takes 14–20 weeks after design, procurement planning and applicable approvals. Structural work, imported finishes and specialist pool or facade scope can extend the programme and are identified before contract.
The scope method applies to Master View, Oasis, Garden Hall and Entertainment Foyer villas. Each type has different layouts and service conditions, so pricing is based on the measured property rather than a generic bedroom count.
Requirements depend on the work. Structural alterations, extensions and visible external or service changes can require Nakheel DCUP and applicable authority review. We map the route from the proposed drawings and separate approval responsibilities in the BOQ.
Potentially, subject to structural assessment and the existing service routes. We verify load-bearing elements, coordinate MEP changes and include the required design and approval responsibilities before demolition.
Yes. Pool interfaces, terrace levels, drainage, waterproofing, lighting and landscape work can be coordinated with the villa renovation. Structural and external elements are separately defined because their approval and programme requirements differ from internal finishes.
