Complete Apartment Renovation & Fit Out
Services in Dubai

Apartment renovation in Dubai is one of the most common and most rewarding home investments — but it demands a contractor who understands both the technical constraints of high-rise living and the design ambition of Dubai residents. M&A Studio brings both, whether you need a complete apartment fit out of a new or empty unit or the renovation of the home you live in.

As an architect-led renovation company based in Dubai Marina, we approach every apartment project with a design-first mentality. That means we don’t just replace what’s there — we question whether the existing layout serves you, optimize the spatial flow, and select materials that perform in Dubai’s climate while elevating your daily experience.

From a studio apartment refresh in Business Bay to a full 3-bedroom renovation in Dubai Marina or a penthouse transformation on Palm Jumeirah — M&A Studio delivers fixed-price contracts, proper DM permit management, and an in-house team that never subcontracts quality control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Apartment Renovation Dubai — FAQ

Apartment renovation costs in Dubai range from AED 30,000 for a studio cosmetic refresh to AED 1.2M+ for a luxury penthouse full renovation. A standard 1-bedroom apartment renovation typically costs AED 60,000–150,000; a 2-bedroom apartment renovation costs AED 100,000–250,000. Key cost drivers are the scope of MEP changes, quality of materials selected, and whether layout modifications are required. M&A Studio provides fixed-price BOQs after a free site visit.
Yes — any structural changes, MEP modifications, or layout alterations to a Dubai apartment require a permit from Dubai Municipality and a NOC (No Objection Certificate) from your building management. This applies to RERA-regulated buildings as well as free zone properties like DIFC. Purely cosmetic works (painting, flooring, fixture replacements without plumbing changes) may not require formal permits, but we always confirm this during the initial site visit. M&A Studio handles all permit applications and NOC submissions on your behalf.
Studio apartment renovation: 3–5 weeks. 1-bedroom apartment renovation: 5–8 weeks. 2–3 bedroom apartment renovation: 8–14 weeks. Penthouse or full luxury renovation: 16–24 weeks. These timelines are from design approval and assume permit is in hand. DM permit processing typically adds 2–3 weeks. M&A Studio provides a detailed project schedule at the start of every engagement so you know exactly when your apartment will be ready.
For Dubai apartments, large-format porcelain tile (60×60cm or 80×80cm) is the most popular choice for living areas and kitchens — it’s durable, cool underfoot, easy to clean, and available in beautiful marble-look finishes. For bedrooms, engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl tile (LVT) provides warmth and comfort. LVT is especially popular for rental properties due to its durability and water resistance. Carpet is less common in Dubai due to humidity and maintenance, but is still used in bedrooms for premium applications. M&A Studio guides you through material selection based on your use case and budget.
Yes — M&A Studio has extensive experience renovating apartments in both DIFC and Business Bay. We are familiar with the specific NOC requirements of DIFC Authority and the building management protocols of major Business Bay towers including Damac, Paramount, Executive Bay, and Churchill Towers. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with building management on your behalf, including arranging contractor access cards and complying with working-hours restrictions.
Yes — a well-executed apartment renovation in Dubai can significantly increase both rental yield and resale value. In competitive towers like those in Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai Marina, renovated apartments command 15–30% higher rental rates than non-renovated units. For resale, a premium renovation with quality finishes can return 1.5–2x the renovation investment in the right markets. M&A Studio can advise on the renovations that deliver the strongest ROI for your specific building and market segment.
