A villa renovation is a construction project. Run it like one
Villas in communities such as Arabian Ranches, The Springs, Jumeirah Park or Dubai Hills come with developer guidelines, NOCs and sometimes authority permits. Behind the walls there are often ageing pipes, tired electrical boards and failed waterproofing that only show once demolition starts.
We survey properly before we price, so surprises are fewer. Then we sequence the work the right way: approvals, demolition, MEP first fix, waterproofing, tiling, joinery, final fix and a snag walk-through you sign off.
What a villa renovation can include
Survey and planning
Measured survey, layout options and a costed scope.NOCs and approvals
Developer NOCs and authority permits prepared where required.Kitchens and bathrooms
Complete refits with new MEP, waterproofing and finishes.Floors, walls and ceilings

Rated on Google, reviews
I have engaged Shawakesh on three occasions for general maintenance of my property. On all engagements I have found their service to be both to my and my tenant's satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the fast response time, both communication and actual issue resolution. This is important to me as I live out of country and need a reliable company to handle things in my absence.
Wonderful service with a professional and knowledgeable team. They provided prompt support, understood the issue clearly and delivered an effective solution. Very satisfied with their service and would highly recommend Shawakesh. Thank you Mr. Zia for your excellent service.
Villa renovation: common questions
Can’t see your question? Ask us on WhatsApp and you will get a straight answer.
How much does a villa renovation cost in Dubai?
It depends on size, scope and finish level. A kitchen or bathroom upgrade costs a fraction of a full villa refurbishment with layout changes. After a site visit we give you an itemised quote so you can decide where to spend.
Do I need a NOC to renovate my villa?
Most master communities require a NOC from the developer for renovation work, and structural, MEP or exterior changes may also need an authority permit. We check the requirements for your community and prepare the submission.
How long does a villa renovation take?
A single kitchen or bathroom takes a few weeks. A full villa refurbishment typically takes three to six months including approvals and material lead times.
Can you change the layout of my villa?
Often, yes. Non-structural walls can usually be moved with the right approvals. Structural changes need engineering input and authority approval, which we coordinate.
Will you find problems once you open the walls?
Sometimes, particularly in older villas: corroded pipes, failed waterproofing or outdated wiring. We survey carefully to reduce surprises and agree any extra work with you in writing before doing it.
Can we stay in the villa during the renovation?
It depends on the scope. For phased work we plan zones so you can live in part of the villa. For full renovations, moving out is usually faster and safer.
