Independent fit-out project management · Dubai

One villa. My full attention.

Villa Reno takes on a single villa project at a time — by design. No rotating team, no split focus across five job sites. From contractor selection to final handover, your project has one person, fully committed, until it's done.

Where I work

Deep in a handful of communities, not spread across the whole city.

Focusing on a small number of villa communities means faster site visits, vendors I already trust nearby, and a working knowledge of each community's approvals and HOA quirks — not something I'm learning on your project.

The common setup

You become the project manager, by default.

Outside of a full turnkey package, a villa renovation means dealing with a construction contractor, electrician, plumber, painter, kitchen installer, landscaper, and more — each hired separately. Without someone coordinating them, that job falls on you: chasing quotes, catching mistakes before they're covered up, and being the only one holding the whole timeline together.

Villa Reno

Someone else does the juggling — on your behalf.

I don't do the fit-out work myself, and I don't take a cut from the vendors I bring in. I coordinate every trade on your project so you deal with one person, not ten — from first quote to final snag list.

01 Contractor & supplier selection Vetted quotes from trusted trades — references and insurance checked before anyone's on site.
02 Cost control Every quote and variation reviewed against market rates before you sign off.
03 Timeline management Trades sequenced so work doesn't stall, and contractors held to the schedule they committed to.
04 Quality inspections On-site checks at each milestone, before it's covered up or painted over.
05 Single point of contact One person to call, not five — contractors, suppliers, and approvals all on me.
Not ready for full project management?

Get a second opinion before you sign anything.

Already have a contractor's quote in hand? I'll review it independently — is the pricing fair, is anything missing from the scope, are there red flags worth asking about before you commit. No ongoing engagement required.

Flat fee, one-off

AED 1,000–1,500

A written review of your quote — pricing, scope gaps, and questions worth raising with the contractor — usually within 48 hours.

How it works

Four stages, one person carrying them through.

Order matters here — each stage locks in decisions the next one depends on.

STAGE 1

Scope & budget

We walk the villa together, define what's changing, and set a realistic budget before a single quote is requested.

STAGE 2

Vendor selection

I source and compare contractors and suppliers from my network, and negotiate on your behalf.

STAGE 3

Execution oversight

Regular site visits, milestone inspections, and a weekly update — so you always know where things stand.

STAGE 4

Handover

Final snagging, sign-off, and documentation, so nothing gets quietly left unfinished.

What changes when someone else does the coordinating.

Beyond the build

For owners abroad, and for after you've moved back in.

Renovating a villa you can't walk into? That's exactly what this is built for.

01

Structured remote reporting

A weekly update — photos, spend tracker, timeline status — so you always know where things stand.

02

POA & approvals handled

A Power of Attorney lets me act as your representative — you sign once, not for every step.

03

Optional live site cameras

Check progress yourself, anytime, from anywhere — quoted separately, with signage and contractor sign-off per UAE privacy rules.

The relationship doesn't have to end at the final snag list.

ADD-ON

Digital handover portal

Every warranty, manual, and vendor contact — organized in one place, not a folder of PDFs.

FROM AED 1,500/YR

Maintenance scheduling

AC, pool, smart home checks — I keep the schedule and send the reminder before anything's due.

FROM AED 750/MO

Concierge service

A snag follow-up, a delivery to coordinate, a vendor to call back — on-call support after move-in.

Pricing

A fee built from your actual scope — not a guess.

A management fee only — separate from what you pay contractors and suppliers. Select what your project involves and see an estimate instantly.

Estimated management fee
AED —
Confirmed exactly at the initial walkthrough, before anything is signed. 3D rendering and live monitoring are coordination fees — actual vendor/hardware costs are billed separately, at cost. Custom projects. Projects involving major demolition, structural changes or extensive construction are scoped individually, so pricing may differ from this estimate. Tell me about your project and I'll quote it properly.
  • No commission taken from contractors or suppliers — my only incentive is your outcome
  • All finish work covered by a 90-day defect warranty after handover
  • Because I take on one villa at a time, I know exactly when I can start yours
About

I've renovated several properties of my own in Dubai, and I've watched friends go through the same with theirs. The same pattern kept showing up: juggling. Separate companies for windows, curtains, cabinets, balcony closure and landscaping, plus a contractor, electrician, painter and kitchen installer on top. Somewhere in the middle of my second renovation, I remember thinking I'd have paid good money for one person to just handle all of it. Not a company doing the work itself and calling it "project management," but someone who actually stood between me and every vendor, and who kept my comfort, my budget, my taste and my needs as their number one priority.

Villa Reno exists because I couldn't find that person, so I became that person. I take on one villa project at a time, not several in parallel. It's a deliberate limit, not a growth stage I'll outgrow. While your project is underway, it has my full attention, not a share of it.

Let's walk your villa.

I take on one villa engagement at a time, so it's worth checking availability early. A first conversation costs nothing — just an honest look at your project and what it would take to run it properly.
