What would your renovation cost?
10-second planning range by property type, scope and finish. Estimates, not quotes.
How it works
What we can
actually show you.
Star ratings separate almost nobody here — 85% of rated companies sit at 4.5 or above. What separates them is the licence, how many reviews the score rests on, and what those reviews say went wrong.
Compare on what clients wrote
Every page carries the Google rating with the review count behind it, and the complaints that repeat in those reviews. Where we have no data, the page says so instead of filling the space.
Ask several companies at once
Send one brief and choose who gets it. Your name, phone and email stay with us until you have chosen — and if the companies you picked go quiet, we ask you before sending it anywhere else.
Check them yourself before you pay
We show the trade licence we matched and link Dubai's public register so you can check it in a minute. We hold no money and are not a party to your contract — what belongs in that contract is written out on our protection page.

Why we built this
“The quote said AED 120,000. The final bill said AED 163,000, and the tiles weren't the ones in the contract. Nobody I could find in Dubai had a way to check a contractor's actual track record — so we started keeping one.”
OnePass Interior lists every licensed fit-out company we can verify, publishes only what public records and documents can prove, and reads the reviews so you can see what actually went wrong on past jobs — not just an average. That's it. No sponsored placements, no paid rankings.

What it costs
Dubai renovation cost by property size
Planning ranges at a standard specification. The gap between repainting and a full renovation is what makes two quotes for the same flat look nothing alike.
| Property | Full renovation | Repaint only |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 25,000 – 60,000 | AED 2,500 – 5,000 |
| 1 Bedroom | AED 60,000 – 100,000 | AED 3,500 – 7,000 |
| 2 Bedroom | AED 100,000 – 180,000 | AED 5,000 – 10,000 |
| 3 Bedroom | AED 150,000 – 250,000 | AED 7,000 – 14,000 |
| 4 Bedroom+ | AED 220,000 – 350,000 | AED 9,000 – 18,000 |
| Villa / Townhouse | AED 300,000 – 600,000 | AED 15,000 – 35,000 |

Common questions
Renovating in Dubai, answered
How much does it cost to renovate an apartment in Dubai?
+
A full apartment renovation in Dubai typically runs AED 25,000 – 60,000 for a studio and AED 100,000 – 180,000 for a two bedroom, at a standard specification. Repainting alone is far cheaper — AED 3,500 – 7,000 for a one bedroom — which is why scope, not location, decides the number. Two quotes for the same flat can differ several times over because they describe different jobs.
How much does it cost to renovate a villa in Dubai?
+
Villa and townhouse renovations generally fall between AED 300,000 – 600,000 for a full renovation at standard finish. Layout changes, extensions and structural work sit above that range and need Dubai Municipality approval through a licensed contractor before any work starts.
What is the renovation cost per square foot in Dubai?
+
Budget finishes work out around AED 80 – 150 per square foot, standard around AED 150 – 250, and premium around AED 250 – 400. Per-square-foot rates are useful for a first sanity check and unreliable for a final budget, because kitchens and bathrooms cost several times more per foot than bedrooms.
How do I choose an interior fit-out company in Dubai?
+
Start by confirming the trade licence covers fit-out work, then read the negative reviews rather than the average score. We analysed 2,583 Google reviews across 624 listed companies: 81% of them had no review at three stars or below, while the worst 5% accounted for 43% of all complaints. Risk is concentrated in a small number of companies rather than spread across the market, so the choice itself is what decides the outcome.
What usually goes wrong with renovations in Dubai?
+
In those same reviews, finish quality is the most common complaint at 19%, followed by work abandoned midway at 17%, delays at 14% and the company going quiet at 11%. Extra charges — the thing most homeowners worry about first — come fifth at 7%. Most disputes trace back to a quote written without a site visit and a payment schedule that ran ahead of completed work.
Which areas of Dubai have the most interior companies?
+
Al Quoz has the largest concentration of fit-out and joinery workshops in Dubai, followed by Business Bay and Al Barsha. OnePass Interior lists 1,183 licensed companies across 36 areas, and companies routinely work across the whole city, so the area a workshop sits in matters less than whether it has done your type of project.
Is OnePass Interior free for homeowners?
+
Yes. Browsing, the cost calculator and requesting quotes are free, and there is no account needed to send a brief. Your contact details go only to the contractors you choose.
