Annual renovation spend in Dubai

Renovating in Dubai is harder than it should be.

Everyone in your renovation — your contractor, your designer, your fit-out firm — earns more when you spend more. Until now, there was no one whose job it was to sit on your side of the table.

You received three quotes — all different

One at AED 280,000. Another at AED 180,000. You have no idea which is honest, which is missing something, and which contractor you can actually trust.

Your contractor said six weeks. It's been four months.

Delays were blamed on suppliers. Then on approvals. You've lost count of the excuses — and the money spent chasing updates.

You're not sure what you agreed to

The contract was two pages. The variation orders are now twelve. Every change costs more than expected. No one told you this would happen.

You feel like the only one without an expert

Everyone else in your renovation works together regularly. You're the only one in the room they don't already know — and that matters.

From the brief to the last snagging item.

Fixed fee. Agreed upfront. No incentive for us to recommend anything more expensive.

Property Condition Assessment

AED 1,500 – 5,000

Before you commit to a renovation, we assess the property — structure, MEP, finishes, compliance — so you know exactly what you're taking on.

Feasibility Study + Cost Benchmark

AED 3,000 – 12,000

We tell you what your renovation should cost, based on real Dubai market rates. Not a contractor's estimate — an independent benchmark.

Tender Management

AED 5,000 – 15,000

We write the BOQ, invite contractors to bid, evaluate quotes side-by-side, and recommend the right team. You negotiate from a position of knowledge.

Project Management / Owner Representation

AED 10,000 – 50,000+

Weekly site visits, quality control, variation order review, contractor communications, and snagging at completion. We stay until it's done right.

Hourly Advisory

AED 500 – 1,500 / hr

A specific question, a contract to review, a quote that doesn't add up. Pay only for what you need.

Four steps. One expert. No surprises.

You stay in control of every decision. We give you the information and protection to make them well.

We define your project

A clear, professional brief — what you want, what it should cost, and what worries you. Before any contractor is approached.

We benchmark the cost

We tell you what your renovation should cost based on current Dubai market rates. You enter every contractor conversation knowing the real number.

We manage the tender

We invite contractors to quote against a proper BOQ, evaluate results, and recommend who to appoint and why.

We oversee delivery

Weekly site visits. Quality checks. Variation order review. Snagging at the end. We stay with you until the project is finished to the standard agreed.

In Practice

Business Bay · 1,400 sqft Apartment · Full Fit-Out

AED 162,000 saved before a wall was touched.

A couple received the keys to their semi-finished apartment. The first contractor quote came back at AED 520,000. They engaged Aule before signing anything.

What Aule Found

Kitchen materials quoted 40% above direct-to-supplier price

AC zoning designed for the wrong layout — costly remedial work avoided

Smart home pre-wiring absent — a variation that costs 30% more mid-project

Retendered with a corrected scope. Final cost: AED 340,000 — at a higher specification than the original quote.

The Outcome

Original quote AED 520,000

Final project cost AED 340,000

Aule advisory fee AED 18,000

"This is what independent advice costs. And what it returns."

What makes Aule different.

Dubai has contractors, designers, and fit-out firms. It had no independent homeowner advisor — until now.

Fixed fee only

We charge you. No one else. No supplier kickbacks, no contractor commissions. Our fee is agreed upfront and never changes based on what you spend.

No conflicts of interest

We have no ongoing financial relationship with any contractor or supplier we recommend. Ever. This is what makes genuine independence possible.

Technical expertise

15+ years delivering complex developments across UAE, KSA, and Africa. The technical credibility most renovation consultants simply do not have.

One expert throughout

You deal with the principal consultant from brief to handover. No handoffs to juniors. No rotating account teams. One person accountable for your outcome.

Complete transparency

We show you the real market rate for every element of your project. You decide what to spend and with whom. Nothing is hidden from you.

Dubai-specific knowledge

We know the contractor market, the sourcing landscape, the regulatory pathway, and the common pitfalls — specific to Dubai, not generic advice repackaged.

About Aule.

An independent renovation consultancy built on a simple principle — that homeowners in Dubai deserve expert advice from someone who works exclusively for them.

Aule was founded to address a gap that has always existed in the Dubai renovation market. Every professional involved in a renovation — the contractor, the designer, the fit-out firm — has a financial interest in the outcome. None of them work purely for the homeowner.

Aule does. Fixed fee, declared upfront. No contractor relationships. No supplier commissions. No agenda except yours.

The consultancy draws on over fifteen years of technical delivery experience across complex, high-value developments in the UAE, KSA, and Africa — bringing the same rigour that developers and institutions apply to their projects to the individual homeowner.

Our founding principle

"The homeowner is the only client. Every decision, every recommendation, every conversation — serves that one interest alone."
