Apartment scope
Refurbishment That Works Within Building Rules
Apartment renovation in a tower is a different job to renovating a villa, and the difference has almost nothing to do with the work itself. It is the constraints: an NOC to obtain, a service lift to book, working hours to respect, neighbours either side, and a waste route that management will insist on.
Contractors who ignore that get stopped at the loading bay on day one. ALHUD handles the paperwork before mobilising, so the crew arrives with approval already in place.
- Building NOC preparation and submission
- Contractor insurance and trade licence documentation
- Service lift booking, protection and delivery scheduling
- Noisy works scheduled inside permitted hours
- Corridor and common-area protection with daily cleaning
- Waste removal by the route building management requires
What gets renovated
Apartment Renovation Services
From a single-room refresh to a complete strip-out and rebuild of a flat.
Bathrooms
Re-waterproofed, re-tiled and refitted. In apartments this matters twice over — a leak here becomes the neighbour's ceiling, and their claim.
Flooring
Porcelain, marble, engineered timber, vinyl and laminate, with acoustic underlay where the building specification calls for it.
Painting & wall finishes
Full repaints, crack and skim repairs, feature walls, wallpaper and texture finishes, prepared properly rather than rolled over old work.
Ceilings & lighting
Gypsum ceilings, cove details, spotlight layouts and dimming circuits that make a standard developer apartment look designed.
Built-in joinery
Wardrobes, walk-in closets, media units and storage designed to the room's exact dimensions, which is where apartments gain usable space.
For landlords
Turnaround Refurbishment Between Tenancies
An empty apartment earns nothing. For landlords and property managers, the value of a renovation is measured in weeks off the market as much as in finish quality.
ALHUD works to a handover date. The scope is set to the rent bracket you are targeting rather than gold-plated by default, the trades run consecutively without gaps, and the unit is handed back cleaned and photograph-ready for the listing.

Common questions
Apartment Renovation Questions, Answered
Do I need building approval to renovate my apartment?
Almost always. Towers in Abu Dhabi require an NOC from the building management before work begins, covering scope, contractor insurance, working hours and waste removal. ALHUD prepares and submits the documentation as part of the project.
How much does apartment renovation cost in Abu Dhabi?
A cosmetic refresh of paint, flooring and joinery for a two-bedroom flat typically starts around AED 45,000. Adding kitchen and bathroom replacement moves it towards AED 120,000-180,000. Your figure is fixed in writing after the site visit.
What are typical working hours in Abu Dhabi apartment buildings?
Most towers permit noisy works on weekdays between roughly 9:00 and 17:00, with restrictions on weekends and public holidays. ALHUD schedules loud trades inside those windows and keeps quiet finishing work for the remaining hours.
Can you renovate an apartment while tenants are still in it?
For single-room work, yes. A full refurbishment is faster, cheaper and cleaner in a vacant unit, which is why most landlords schedule it between tenancies. ALHUD can work to a handover date if a new tenancy is already signed.
Do you handle service lift bookings and waste removal?
Yes. Lift protection, delivery slot bookings, waste chutes or skip arrangements and daily corridor cleaning are handled by ALHUD and included in the programme, not left to the owner to negotiate with building management.
