Turnkey interior fit-out in Dubai

The exact inclusions, programme and responsibilities are defined for your property before the work proceeds.

What does turnkey include?
The word turnkey should describe an agreed scope, not an assumption that every possible item is included. Ask for a written breakdown of design, site works, kitchens and bathrooms, joinery, lighting, furniture, installation and final checks.
La Villa coordinates authority permit and building NOC applications where required by the project. The applicable process depends on the property, the proposed changes and the parties responsible for approval. Confirm these requirements and dependencies for your home before scheduling site work.
- Design and drawings.
- Authority permits and building NOCs, where your project needs them.
- Site works, kitchens and bathrooms.
- Joinery and lighting.
- Furniture, installation and final checks.
One point of contact, clear decisions
The project manager coordinates the trades and suppliers involved in the agreed work. You still have decisions to make: approving layouts, selecting finishes and confirming furniture. A clear approval process helps everyone work from the same information.
Keep changes in writing. Ask what a change affects before approving it, including the scope, quoted price, procurement and programme. A late change to joinery can affect adjacent lighting, sockets and stone as well as the cabinet itself.
A practical delivery sequence
Every property has its own programme, but a home project typically moves through the following decisions and delivery stages.
- Confirm the property, brief, budget range and project scope.
- Develop and approve layouts, materials and visual direction.
- Coordinate drawings, specifications and required applications.
- Plan procurement and site works around access and lead times.
- Install, inspect and resolve the agreed snagging items before handover.
How long a fit-out takes
As a guide, an apartment takes about 4 months, a villa renovation about 5 months and a new villa 6 to 10 months, from the order to handover. Work typically starts within 7 to 10 days of the order. Design and drawings can start before handover.
What determines cost and timing?
The area alone does not define the work. Keeping an existing kitchen is a different scope from replacing it; retaining the layout is different from changing services or partitions. Material choices, custom fabrication and imported items also affect the proposal.
La Villa prices each home from its scope rather than a published package rate. Share your budget range and desired move-in date early. Ask the team to identify what is included, what remains an allowance and which decisions affect the programme.
Your questions, answered.
How is turnkey fit-out different from interior design?
Interior design defines the layout, materials, lighting and furniture. Fit-out delivers the physical work. A turnkey scope coordinates the agreed design and delivery stages through one team.
Can you coordinate a project while I am abroad?
Yes. La Villa works with overseas owners through video calls and WhatsApp, with one project manager as the point of contact. Agree how approvals, updates and site access will work at the start.
Do you publish a price per square foot?
La Villa does not publish a fixed rate. A meaningful quotation depends on the property, works included, materials, furniture and delivery responsibilities.
How long does a turnkey fit-out take in Dubai?
As a guide, an apartment takes about 4 months, a villa renovation about 5 and a new villa 6 to 10, from the order to handover.
Do you handle permits and building NOCs?
Yes. La Villa prepares the drawings and applies for the authority permits and building NOCs your project needs.
Can the work start before handover?
Design and drawings can start before you get the keys, so the fit-out can begin soon after handover.
