Turnkey Apartment Finishing in Dubai: Your Home Ready for Life
Turnkey apartment finishing in Dubai is a comprehensive solution that frees you from the need to control every stage of the renovation. You receive a completely ready-to-move-in home: from bare walls to arranged furniture and functioning plumbing. Unlike phased renovations, where you need to independently find crews, purchase materials, and monitor deadlines, turnkey finishing entrusts all the worries to professionals. In Dubai, this format is especially in demand among expats, investors, and busy professionals who value their time and want to move into an apartment immediately after the property is handed over. Developers in the UAE often deliver properties in two conditions: "shell and core" (a bare concrete box) or with minimal preparation. Turnkey finishing transforms such a space into a cozy, functional home that fully matches your ideas of comfort and style.
What's Included in Turnkey Finishing: A Complete List of Work
Our "turnkey finishing" service includes all stages — from rough work to final cleaning. A specialist visit occurs within 24 hours of your request to any area of Dubai. The engineer conducts laser measurements, assesses the condition of the engineering systems, and helps you decide on materials.
The basic scope of the service includes:
Rough Stage. We begin with the demolition of anything unnecessary (if required), erect partitions from aerated concrete or drywall, changing the layout to suit your needs. We perform floor screeding using cement-sand mixture or self-leveling compounds, achieving a perfectly flat surface. We always install waterproofing in bathrooms — in the conditions of Dubai's high-rise buildings, this protects the neighbors below from leaks. Walls are plastered using screed guides (beads), and ceilings are prepared for the final finish. All work is carried out considering the climate: in coastal areas like Jumeirah, we use moisture-resistant compounds.
Engineering Systems. At this stage, all utilities are installed. Electrical wiring is laid with copper cable in corrugated conduit, including the installation of distribution boards, circuit breakers, and back boxes. Smart home systems are popular in Dubai, and we pre-install cables for the automation of lighting, curtains, and climate control. Water supply pipes are installed using modern PEX, and sewage systems use high-quality plastic. If necessary, we install water filtration systems, as water quality in the UAE is specific. Heating radiators are also installed, although in Dubai they are more for comfort during the cool winter months.
Final Finishing. This is the most noticeable stage, where the space acquires its character. We install flooring: large-format porcelain tile, engineered wood, LVT vinyl tile, or carpet. In Dubai apartments, cool tiles are often used in common areas and warm coverings in bedrooms. Installation is carried out using a high-quality underlayment for sound insulation — an important point in multi-unit buildings in Downtown or Dubai Marina. Walls are wallpapered, painted, or finished with decorative plaster. Ceilings can be suspended, stretched, or simply painted — the choice is yours.
Installation of Doors, Plumbing, and Lighting. The final stage includes the installation of interior and entrance doors, the installation of toilets, sinks, bathtubs, shower enclosures, and faucets. We connect all the plumbing, install sockets and switches, and mount light fixtures. Built-in appliances are popular in Dubai, and we integrate them into kitchen units and connect the air conditioners, which are an essential element of life in a hot climate.
Final Cleaning and Project Handover. After all work is completed, a professional cleaning is carried out, and construction waste is removed. You receive an apartment completely ready for occupancy — all that's left is to bring in your furniture and personal belongings.
Who Benefits from Turnkey Finishing in Dubai
Our services are in demand by various categories of clients. Primarily, this includes investors purchasing property in Dubai new builds for rental income or resale. Turnkey finishing allows them to quickly prepare the property and start generating income. Expats and professionals moving to the UAE for work often don't have time for renovations and trust us to create comfortable homes in areas like Dubai Creek Harbour or Business Bay. Families with children choose turnkey finishing to adapt the space to their needs — creating safe zones, adding extra outlets, and ensuring quality sound insulation. Owners of apartments in prestigious locations like Palm Jumeirah or Emirates Hills order designer projects using premium materials, and we implement them completely turnkey. Even retirees moving to Dubai permanently appreciate the opportunity to get a ready-to-move-in home without any extra hassle.
Cost of Turnkey Finishing in Dubai in 2026
The price of turnkey finishing is always individual and depends on the area, project complexity, chosen materials, and the condition of the base structures. In the Dubai construction market in 2026, it's common practice to calculate the cost per square foot, which is convenient when working with local floor plans.
The average market price for turnkey finishing in Dubai new builds ranges from 150 to 500 AED per square foot. This price includes the full scope of work: rough preparation, engineering systems, final finishing, and the installation of doors, plumbing, and lighting. Materials can be paid for separately or included in the estimate — we offer flexible terms. For an apartment of 1000 square feet (approximately 93 m²), the budget for turnkey finishing would be roughly 150,000 – 500,000 AED. In more expensive locations like Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Marina, clients often choose premium materials — Italian porcelain tile, parquet, designer wallpaper, marble — which objectively increases the budget. In mass-development areas like Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) or Dubai South, prices tend to be closer to the lower end of the range. The exact figure is determined only after a specialist visit and the preparation of a detailed estimate.
