Fixed-price apartment renovation for Dubai Marina homes — from AED 72,000. Emaar / Trakhees community approvals handled in-house. Free 3D design. 3-year warranty across 800+ UAE projects.
Quick Answer · Dubai Marina
An apartment renovation in Dubai Marina costs AED 60,000–150,000 for a refresh, AED 150,000–400,000 for a full renovation, and AED 400,000+ for a bespoke remodel. Timelines run 4 weeks to 5 months. Most Dubai Marina towers need a building-management fit-out NOC plus a Dubai permit for plumbing/wall changes, handled in-house. Wet areas waterproof-tanked, 3-year warranty.
After 800+ UAE projects we see the same problems in Dubai Marina again and again. Here's what goes wrong — and how we fix every one.
Dubai Marina towers have strict fit-out rules, working hours and material-transport limits. We know them and get the building NOC so work runs smoothly.
A bad bathroom or kitchen waterproofing floods neighbours. We tank every wet area to standard and warranty it.
Standard apartments waste space. We reconfigure for open-plan living and real storage, within what's structurally allowed.
Renovating in a live building upsets neighbours and management. We manage access, protection and timing professionally.
