Private residences in Dubai.
The city hands over more unfinished property than anywhere else we work.
Dubai's residential market runs on handover. Off-plan apartments arrive as white boxes, villa communities are delivered to a developer standard that most owners immediately want to improve, and a large share of owners are not resident in the country when the keys are issued. The result is an enormous amount of work that sits between purchase and a home you can actually use.
Método delivers that work as a single accountable package — interior architecture, MEP alterations, joinery manufactured in our own workshops, stone, lighting, decoration and furnishing — under the same operating method we use on hotels and civic buildings across the UAE.
That commercial base matters here. Approvals, developer NOCs, community rules, service-lift bookings, summer working restrictions and the logistics of getting stone and joinery into a tower are ordinary parts of our week, not obstacles discovered halfway through your project.
Delivering in Dubai
- Developer NOCs and community rules
- Most communities and towers require a no-objection certificate, approved drawings, contractor registration and insurance before work can start. We prepare and hold those submissions.
- Handover condition varies widely
- White box, semi-fitted and fully fitted mean different things to different developers. We survey against the actual handover documentation before pricing anything.
- Climate-driven specification
- Cooling loads, humidity, UV on terrace finishes and water quality all change what should be specified. Selections that work in Europe do not always survive here.
- Owners are often overseas
- Selections are approved remotely by drawing and sample, and progress is reported weekly with photography.

Questions
Dubai — common questions
- Do I need approval to fit out my own apartment in Dubai?
- In almost all cases, yes. The building or community management requires approved drawings, a registered contractor, insurance and a no-objection certificate before work can begin. Método prepares and submits that documentation as part of the scope.
- Can you manage a Dubai project if I live abroad?
- Yes. A significant share of the work we do here is for owners based elsewhere. Selections are approved digitally, progress is reported weekly, and we can attend developer handover on your behalf.
- Do you work across Dubai's main communities?
- We deliver across the emirate — Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills, Emirates Hills, Jumeirah, Business Bay, Dubai Marina and the newer villa communities.
