Bathrooms, terraces, planters, roof. Sika, Mapei, Weber. Correct membrane for the substrate, correct upstand height, correct testing before you tile over it.
Why owners choose Samra for renovation
Renovation goes wrong when trades are separately-subcontracted and no one owns the interfaces. In-house trades and single-PM accountability fix that.
One in-house team, every trade
Civil, plumbing, electrical, joinery, painting, tiling, waterproofing — all direct-employed Samra teams. When a tiler needs waterproofing to be dry, it's a same-day handoff inside the same crew, not a two-week sub-contractor wait.
6-month workmanship warranty
One warranty across every trade — not separate warranties per sub. If a tile lifts, a joint leaks or a paint edge fails inside 6 months, it's our fix, no cost. Material warranties pass through from each brand.
DM / DEWA / community NOCs
Where structural changes, load increases or external-façade work are involved, we lodge the Dubai Municipality, DEWA and community-management (Emaar, Nakheel, Damac) submissions as part of the contract.
Fixed-price BOQ, 5–10 working days
Free site visit, trade-by-trade BOQ within 5–10 working days depending on scope. Materials line-itemised, brands specified, prep work priced in.
Single PM
One PM owns the project. Access, deliveries, snag list, warranty callback — all one WhatsApp thread. Family stays informed rather than juggling multiple contractors.
Phased option to stay in the villa
For targeted refreshes and single-bathroom renovations we phase the work so a habitable area is always available. Full strip-back rebuilds usually need family to vacate; we'll be direct about which yours is.
How we scope a renovation
Three broad tiers cover most villa and interior renovations we handle. The BOQ pins your project to one of them once we've walked the space.
Targeted refresh
Kitchen + bathrooms + paint + flooring, no structural changes. 4–8 weeks. Family can usually stay in the villa while we phase between rooms.
Major refurb
MEP refresh, some layout reconfiguration, joinery, full finishes. 10–16 weeks. Usually needs 2–4 weeks vacated for MEP first-fix; back into a habitable half of the villa for finishes.
Full strip-back rebuild
Everything out to structure. New MEP, new layout, new finishes. 16–24+ weeks. Family vacates; DM structural approval and possibly a licensed designer required.
Indicative renovation costs
Full range because spec drives cost far more than area. The BOQ pins your specific villa once we've seen it.
Villa renovation brackets
- Targeted refresh (3-bed villa): AED 80,000–150,000
- Major refurb with MEP + layout: AED 200,000–500,000

What actually moves the number
Spec tier (mid-market vs premium vs luxury) is the biggest driver — not area. After spec: structural changes, MEP scope, external works, approval complexity. Same villa can be AED 80k or AED 800k depending on what you specify.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of renovation do you actually do?
Villa renovation (refresh through to full strip-back rebuild), bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation, apartment interior renovation, and the standalone trades that feed them — carpentry, painting, tiling, waterproofing. For commercial spaces we run a separate Fit-Out programme.
How long does a villa renovation take?
Targeted refresh: 4–8 weeks. Major refurb (MEP + layout changes): 10–16 weeks. Full strip-back rebuild: 16–24+ weeks. Approvals add 4–6 weeks where structural or DEWA-load changes are involved.
Can the family stay during the work?
Targeted refresh — usually yes, we phase between rooms. Major refurb — 2–4 weeks vacated for MEP first-fix, then back in for finishes. Full strip-back — no, family vacates for the whole programme. We're direct about which tier yours is at BOQ stage.
Do you do design or only build?
We build. For concept drawings, layout planning and major architectural changes we coordinate with architect or interior-designer partners or with your own designer if you already have one. Straightforward refreshes we handle end-to-end.
What about DM, DEWA and community approvals?
Included in the contract for the scope at hand. DM for layout / structural changes, DEWA for load increases, community management (Emaar, Nakheel, Damac, etc.) for external-façade or landscaping changes. Approval fees pass through at cost.
What warranty do you provide?
A 6-month workmanship warranty across every trade — one warranty, one accountable party. Material warranties pass through from the manufacturers (Geberit, Grohe, Kohler, Sika, Jotun, Dulux, ABB, Schneider, Daikin) — typically 1–10 years depending on the product.
