After 800+ Dubai projects we see the same problems in Mina Al Arab again and again. Here's what goes wrong — and how we fix every one.
Most Mina Al Arab plots have room to extend. We unlock the extra majlis, bedroom or open-plan living you need without moving home.
Set-back, height and coverage rules differ by community. We design to Mina Al Arab's exact rules so the permit passes first time.
A bad extension shows where old meets new. We engineer movement joints, tie reinforcement and waterproofing so the addition is seamless and dry.
Nothing devalues a villa like a mismatched extension. We match render, roof, glazing and proportion exactly to the original.
