02 · The building’s rules

Building rules for an apartment fit-out.

Alterations need a NOC.

In Emaar’s Dubai Marina towers, alterations need a NOC through the community portal.

The facade stays.

Emaar does not permit external changes that alter the look of the apartments.

Shared services.

A pipe serving more than your unit belongs to the owners’ association.

03 · How it runs

How a Dubai fit-out runs, from London.

  1. 01The brief and the survey. How you live, then what the building allows and where its services run.
  2. 02A budget estimate. A first price from the brief and the survey.
  3. 03The design. Layouts, joinery, stone and lighting, drawn and sampled in London.
  4. 04The building’s approval. The NOC prepared and handled for you, before work starts.
  5. 05The tender. Vetted fit-out contractors price the drawings. We compare them line by line.
  6. 06The fit-out, managed. We appoint and manage the contractor for you. Weekly photographed reports.

Every tower and community has its own rules. We read them before the design is fixed.
