Full refurbishments, extensions, pools and waterfront upgrades for Jumeirah Islands villas, with the Nakheel NOC, permits and contractors handled by one team.
Jumeirah Islands is a Nakheel community of villa clusters set on islands around lakes, with homes handed over from the mid-2000s. Many villas are now due for a full refresh: original kitchens and bathrooms, ageing AC and plumbing, and layouts that owners want to open up.
The waterfront setting is the community's appeal, and it adds its own rules. Lake setbacks and the community guidelines limit where extensions, decks and pools can go, so the design has to start from what the plot allows, not from the wish list.
Lake setbacks and the cluster guidelines decide what can be built where. We confirm them before design starts.
Villas grouped in clusters on islands around lakes, with several villa typologies. Many plots back onto the water.
Lakeside villas where decks, pools and extensions must respect setbacks from the water.
Many villas were handed over from the mid-2000s, so services and finishes are often due for renewal.
Jumeirah Islands is a Nakheel community. Renovations that change the outside of the villa, add built-up area, add a pool or covered structure, or involve structural work need a Home Modification NOC from Nakheel, followed by a building permit from the relevant authority. Extensions may also involve a fee for additional built-up area and must respect lake setbacks. We prepare the drawings, confirm what your plot allows, and manage the approvals through to issue.

We talk through what you want, visit your home, and look at what's behind the walls before anyone quotes.
We define the scope, coordinate any design work, and give you a realistic budget and timeline to approve.
We handle the Nakheel NOC and permits, tender the work to vetted contractors, and recommend the best value.
We supervise on site, report progress, snag every detail, and hand over a finished home.
Often, yes, but extensions must respect lake setbacks and the community guidelines, and may involve a fee for added built-up area. We confirm what your plot allows before any design fees are spent.
Start with the services. In homes of this age, AC, plumbing and electrics are often due for replacement, and it is far cheaper to do that before new finishes go in. We inspect them first.
It depends on the scope and how complete the submission is. Simple modifications move faster than extensions needing structural drawings. A complete, correct submission is the biggest factor in avoiding delays.
A few details are enough to get started. We'll come back to you to arrange a call or site visit.
