01VILLA RENOVATION
Our published cost guide lists villa renovations from around AED 100,000, but full renovations of large villas run well beyond that. The size of the villa matters less than what you change: structure, services and the level of finish.

A full interior renovation replaces kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and joinery throughout and usually renews some services. A structural renovation adds layout changes, extensions or facade works, with engineering and approvals on top. Knowing which tier you are in is the first step to a realistic budget.
Kitchens and bathrooms concentrate cost because they combine plumbing, electrics, waterproofing, tiling and joinery in one space. Large villas multiply that by the number of bathrooms. Flooring across a whole villa is a significant line in its own right, especially in natural stone. Replacing ageing plumbing and electrics adds cost that nobody sees, but it is cheaper during a renovation than afterwards.
Opening walls and floors in an older villa almost always reveals something — corroded pipes, undersized cables, a damp patch behind a wardrobe. Holding back a contingency for these discoveries, and agreeing in the contract how they will be priced, keeps a villa renovation from stalling halfway.
