Question 1

What does turnkey mean in a KC Design renovation?

Accepted Answer

One studio accountable for everything: design, technical drawings, building and authority approvals, contractor management, procurement, site supervision and final styling. You make the decisions; we deliver a finished home — you turn the key.

Question 2

How long does a renovation take in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Apartments typically run eight to fourteen weeks on site; villas three to seven months depending on scope; estate-scale programmes longer. Before any site work begins you receive a detailed programme — and we sequence procurement first so the site never waits for materials.

Question 3

Do you manage building and authority approvals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, entirely in-house. Owners-association and community NOCs, Dubai Municipality permits where works are structural, insured and pre-qualified contractors, deposits and protected working hours — the paperwork is part of our scope, not yours.

Question 4

Can we live in the property during the renovation?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. Villa programmes can be phased so the family remains in residence while zones are completed in sequence, with dust and acoustic protection maintained. Full apartment renovations are usually faster with the unit vacant — we advise honestly based on scope.

Question 5

How do you keep renovation budgets under control?

Accepted Answer

With a line-item budget agreed after design concept — joinery, finishes, FF&E and installation priced before commitment — transparent procurement, and a rule we never break: no variation proceeds without your written approval.

Question 6

Do you renovate properties for rental or resale?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upgrade programmes calibrated to a valuation or rental target are a core part of our work — durable materials, the improvements the market actually pays for, and listing-ready styling and photography at handover.
