Renovation Cost Calculator — FAQs
Built for planning ranges and validated against completed project pricing from 700+ Dubai renovations. Most site-verified quotations land within the shown range when scope and finish match your selections. Variance can occur due to hidden MEP issues, access constraints, authority requirements, or premium brand selections.
Yes. The calculator now covers all 15 renovation categories: Villa, Apartment, Kitchen, Bathroom, Office Fit Out, Swimming Pool, Landscaping, Painting, Flooring, Tiling, AC Installation and Ducting, Basement Renovation, Demolition, Microcement, Micro Renovation, and Smart Home Renovation. Each service shows its own relevant scope chips when selected.
Basement renovation in Dubai ranges from AED 45,000 for a small economy-finish project to AED 250,000+ for a large premium basement. Waterproofing is the critical cost driver due to Dubai’s water table and humidity conditions. A damp-proof membrane, drainage system, and proper ventilation are not optional — skipping them leads to recurring damage. Always budget for a full waterproofing system, not just surface finishes.
Demolition in Dubai typically ranges from AED 5,000 for a single-room partial clearance to AED 60,000+ for a full villa strip-out with MEP capping, structural wall removal, and dust containment. Cost depends on scope, debris disposal method, and community requirements for noise control and protection of common areas. Some communities require a deposit for common area protection.
Microcement is a thin-layer decorative coating applied over existing walls or floors to create a seamless, contemporary finish — no grout lines, no joints. In Dubai, microcement costs range from AED 8,000 for a single room to AED 65,000+ for a full apartment. The multi-layer application and high-quality sealing are critical in Dubai’s climate. Cutting corners on sealing causes moisture absorption in humid periods.
Micro renovation is a targeted property refresh without full demolition. It covers cabinet resprays, new hardware and fixtures, feature walls, skirting updates, light fitting changes, and minor cosmetic works. A micro renovation in Dubai costs AED 12,000 to AED 78,000 depending on property size and scope — typically 60 to 70% less than a full renovation. It is ideal for tenanted properties, pre-sale refreshes, or properties in good structural condition that just need visual uplift.
Smart home renovation in Dubai ranges from AED 10,000 for a basic 3 to 5 device package with entry-level brands, to AED 163,000+ for a full villa KNX or Crestron integration. Lighting automation, climate control integration, and security are the most common starting points. Premium systems like KNX and Lutron carry higher hardware and programming costs but offer better reliability and scalability. The calculator shows ranges for all three package levels.
Yes. Choose Apartment or Office Fit Out, then select size and finish. Add scope chips like joinery, electrical, glass partitions, and layout complexity to match your scope. The office calculator also includes fire safety and Civil Defense alignment chips, which are relevant for commercial fit outs in Dubai.
Select AC Installation and Ducting. The finish dropdown changes to show Installation Only versus AC and Ducting. Then choose the ton capacity. Add scope chips like copper piping, concealed drain, duct insulation, and set complexity if routing or ceiling access is difficult. Installation-only (labor only, you supply the unit) typically starts at AED 300 to 900 per unit for basic jobs.
You get a clear 3D visual preview and a written scope before any advance payment. Work proceeds based on the approved scope so expectations stay aligned. This model eliminates the guesswork that leads to disputes and surprises. It is unique to Revive Hub — no other Dubai renovation company currently offers this as a standard process across all project types.
Yes. Revive Hub handles NOC coordination with all major Dubai developers including Emaar, DAMAC, Nakheel, Meraas, Wasl, Dubai Properties, and Dubai Municipality where required. Full NOC management is included as part of our renovation service — not charged as an extra.
