These FAQs cover common questions about our interior design, renovation, landscaping, joinery, smart home automation, swimming pools, and related services.
GENERAL
Q: How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary by scope, approvals, and material lead times. After a site visit, we share a realistic timeline for your exact space and scope.
Q: Do I need to move out during renovation?
Not always. For small work like one room or a kitchen, many clients stay. For full renovations, moving out usually makes life easier. We plan the workflow around your situation.
Q: Can you work with my existing furniture?
Yes. We design around the pieces you want to keep. We adjust the layout and finishes so old and new work together.
Q: What is included in a turnkey solution?
We handle design, coordination, and execution under one plan. We confirm scope in writing so you know what we include and what we exclude.
Q: Do you provide warranties?
A: Yes. We confirm warranty coverage in writing based on your scope, such as joinery, waterproofing, and installation work.
DESIGN AND PLANNING
Q: How does the design process work?
We start with a site visit and a clear brief. We propose layout direction and material options. We refine based on your feedback. We finalize drawings and selections before work starts.
Q: How many revisions do you include?
We keep revisions focused so decisions stay clear. We agree the revision plan and design sign off before execution begins.
Q: Can I see examples of your previous work?
Yes. We share project references and examples that match your scope, style, and space type.
Q: What if I do not know what style I want?
That is normal. We guide you with examples and simple questions about your daily life and preferences.
Q: How involved do I need to be?
You choose your level of involvement. At minimum, you approve the design direction, key selections, and the final walkthrough.
COST AND PAYMENTS
Q: How do you price a project?
We price based on scope, site condition, material level, and custom work. We share a clear quotation after the site visit and scope confirmation.
Q: Is the first consultation or site visit free?
Yes, the first visit and discussion are usually free. If you request full design development before execution, we confirm design fees clearly in writing.
Q: What payment terms do you offer?
We split payments into an upfront start payment, milestone payments during progress, and a final payment at completion. We write the exact schedule in your proposal or contract.
Q: Do you add hidden charges later?
No. We do not add surprise charges. If you request changes after approval, we confirm the cost and timeline impact in writing before we proceed.
APPROVALS AND BUILDING RULES
Q: Do I need approval from my building or community?
Many Dubai buildings and villa communities require approval before renovation work. Requirements vary by community. We check the requirements early and help prepare the documents needed.
Q: How long do approvals take?
Approval timelines vary by community and authority. We submit early and keep you updated so approvals do not delay the project.
Q: I am a tenant. Do I need landlord permission or an NOC?
Usually yes. You arrange landlord permission. We help by preparing the drawings and scope notes needed for the submission.
AFTERCARE
Q: Do you provide support after handover?
Yes. We support warranty items and we can help with future upgrades or repairs, depending on the service.
