Villa Renovation in Jumeirah Bay Island

Yes. Structural changes, wet-area works, external modifications and anything touching the building envelope need the community management NOC first, then a Dubai Municipality permit. Apartment works inside the Bulgari buildings additionally need building management approval. Halo prepares the drawings and runs every submission in-house.

A full master bathroom rebuilt with integrated stone, bespoke joinery and new waterproofing typically runs 6–10 weeks on site once approvals are in place. Stone fabrication and joinery are made in parallel in our own factory rather than after the strip-out, which is where most of the time is saved. Approvals usually add 2–6 weeks before site start.

Yes — it is work we do ourselves. The vanity on this island project was cut from a single heavily figured slab with the basins, upstands and deep front fascia carried through as one continuous piece. It depends on slab selection, vein positioning and edge fabrication being planned together before cutting, which is why we do not subcontract it.

For single-zone work — one bathroom, a dressing room, a kitchen — yes, phased and sealed off so the rest of the house stays in use. For full interior renovations with structural or MEP works we generally recommend vacating: it is faster, cheaper and quieter, and on an island with controlled access it also keeps deliveries out of your way.
