What Does Our Apartment Renovation Service Include?

Apartment renovation can involve a single area, several rooms or a broader interior fit-out. HKZ Interior Decoration can provide the renovation scope required for the apartment based on the site condition, design requirements and agreed project scope. If you are planning to renovate a villa instead, you can also explore our Villa Renovation services.

Kitchen Renovation

Kitchen renovation can include kitchen joinery, cabinets, worktops, finishes, flooring, lighting and related installation works.

HKZ has an in-house joinery unit that supports custom furniture and fitted joinery according to the approved design and requirements.

Bathroom Renovation

Bathroom renovation can include removal of existing finishes, tiling, sanitary fittings, vanity units, lighting, ceiling works and related services.

The required scope depends on the existing condition of the bathroom and the planned design.

Flooring and Tiling

Flooring and tiling can form an important part of apartment remodelling. The scope may include removal of existing finishes, surface preparation, new flooring, wall tiling and installation.

Material selection should consider the apartment's intended use, maintenance requirements and existing conditions.

Painting, False Ceiling and Lighting

Painting, false ceiling and lighting works need to be coordinated during the renovation process. Ceiling layouts and lighting points should be planned before final finishes are completed.

Custom Joinery and Wardrobes

HKZ has an in-house joinery unit for custom furniture and fitted elements. Depending on the approved scope, this can include wardrobes, storage cabinets, media units, kitchen cabinets, shelving and other built-in furniture.

MEP Works

MEP requirements can form part of an apartment renovation project. HKZ Interior Decoration coordinates MEP works through partners.

Electrical, plumbing and other required services should be identified during the planning stage so they can be coordinated with the interior works.

Curtains, Blinds and Furniture

HKZ provides indoor shades, including manual and motorised curtains and blinds, as well as custom furniture and upholstery.

These elements can be planned alongside the interior finishes, joinery and overall apartment design.

Full vs Partial Apartment Renovation

Not every apartment requires a complete renovation. The right approach depends on the property's existing condition, the owner's requirements and the planned scope of work.

• Partial Renovation: Focuses on selected areas of the apartment, such as flooring, painting, joinery, lighting, curtains or blinds. It is suitable for owners who want to upgrade specific rooms or features without renovating the entire apartment.

• Broader Renovation: Covers multiple rooms and may include new finishes, joinery, ceilings, lighting and selected MEP works. This option suits apartments that need several improvements across different areas.

• Full Renovation: Involves multiple interior areas and coordinated renovation works based on the agreed project scope. It is suitable for owners planning a more extensive apartment remodelling project.

The appropriate scope depends on the apartment's existing condition, the owner's requirements, building rules and the intended use of the property.

What Approvals Are Needed for Apartment Renovation in Dubai?

Apartment renovation approvals in Dubai vary depending on the building, developer, community and proposed scope of work.

In general, apartment owners may need:

• Building management NOC before renovation work starts
• Developer or authority fit-out approval or permit, where applicable
• Contractor and project documentation requested by the building or relevant authority
• Approved drawings or technical documents where required
• Access arrangements for materials and workers
• Compliance with building working hours and noise restrictions
• Service lift booking where required
• Requirements for protecting common areas
• Waste removal procedures
• Building inspection or handover requirements

The exact requirements are not the same for every Dubai apartment. A residential tower may have its own procedures for contractor access, working hours, service lifts, deposits and documentation.

HKZ Interior Decoration advises apartment owners on the applicable requirements during the site survey. The specific approvals required depend on the property and renovation scope.

How Much Does Apartment Renovation Cost in Dubai?

There is no single cost for apartment renovation in Dubai. The final cost depends on the apartment, renovation scope, materials and work required.

• Apartment Size: The size of the apartment affects the amount of flooring, wall, ceiling and other work required.

• Renovation Scope: The number of rooms and areas included in the project influences the overall cost.

• Materials: The selected flooring, tiles, finishes, joinery, furniture and other materials affect the final quotation.

• Layout Changes: Changes to the existing layout can increase the amount of work required.

• MEP Work: Electrical, plumbing and other mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements can affect the project cost.

• Approvals: Applicable building management, developer or authority requirements may influence the work and associated project costs.

HKZ Interior Decoration provides a detailed written quote after a site survey. The quotation should be reviewed against the agreed scope, materials and project requirements before work begins.

For an accurate project cost, the apartment needs to be assessed rather than relying on a generic renovation price.

How Does the Apartment Renovation Process Work?

HKZ Interior Decoration follows a structured process from the initial consultation through to handover.

1. Consultation and Site Survey

The process begins with a discussion about the apartment, the required renovation work and the owner's objectives.

The site survey allows HKZ Interior Decoration to review the existing condition, measurements, access and renovation requirements.

2. Detailed Written Quote

Following the site survey and discussion of the renovation requirements, HKZ Interior Decoration provides a detailed written quote and a written project schedule.

The owner can review the proposed scope, materials and commercial details before approving the project and proceeding to the design stage.

3. Design and 3D Visualisation

Once the scope and quotation are agreed, the design stage covers layouts, materials, finishes, joinery, furniture and other interior requirements, depending on the project scope.

3D visualisation can help communicate the proposed design before execution.

4. Building and Fit-Out Requirements

The applicable building management, developer or authority requirements are identified based on the property and renovation scope.

HKZ advises the owner on these requirements during the site survey.

5. Renovation and Interior Fit-Out

The approved renovation work is carried out according to the agreed scope.

Depending on the project, this can involve demolition, civil works, MEP works, ceilings, tiling, flooring, joinery, painting, lighting, furniture, curtains and blinds.

6. Final Walkthrough, Snagging and Handover

At completion, HKZ Interior Decoration carries out a final walkthrough with the owner.

Any agreed outstanding items are recorded in a snag list. The snags are fixed before final handover.

How Long Does Apartment Renovation Take in Dubai?

Apartment renovation timelines depend on the scope of work, building approval times and material lead times.

The programme can also be affected by the existing condition of the apartment and the requirements of the specific building.

HKZ Interior Decoration provides a written schedule with every quote after the site survey. This gives the owner a project schedule based on the actual renovation scope rather than a generic timeline.

Should You Renovate an Apartment to Live In, Rent Out or Sell?

The renovation approach should reflect how the apartment will be used.

Renovating to Live In

For an owner-occupied apartment, the renovation can focus on practical requirements such as storage, kitchen functionality, bathroom finishes, flooring, lighting, curtains, blinds and furniture.

Custom joinery can be used where standard furniture does not suit the available space.

Renovating to Rent Out

For a rental property, owners may prioritise practical finishes, usable storage and materials that are suitable for regular use and maintenance.

The renovation scope should be based on the property and the expected requirements of the intended rental market.

Renovating to Sell

For an apartment being prepared for sale, owners may focus on the condition and presentation of the key areas, including flooring, painting, kitchen, bathrooms, lighting and built-in storage.

A broader home renovation Dubai project may also include furniture, curtains, blinds and other interior elements where required.

How Do You Choose Apartment Renovation Companies in Dubai?

When comparing apartment renovation companies, look beyond the headline quotation. Check the following:

1. Business credentials: Confirm the company details and ability to undertake the required renovation work.
2. Approval guidance: Ask whether the company can advise you on building management and developer requirements.
3. Written scope: Make sure the proposed work is clearly documented.
4. Written quotation: Check what work, materials and services are included.

6. Relevant portfolio: Review completed work relevant to the type of renovation you require.
7. Project coordination: Understand how different trades and partner services will be coordinated.
8. Handover process: Ask how the final walkthrough and snagging process will be handled.
