About Us
From Dubai’s first freehold villas to today’s leading fitout specialists
When Dubai first opened its villa communities to expat buyers, we were among the early residents. Like many, we loved the potential of these homes but quickly saw the gap between what developers delivered and what families really wanted — bright, open, modern living. Finding a contractor who understood that vision, and could deliver it professionally, was almost impossible.
Frustrated by vague lump-sum quotes and shifting promises, we started The Big Fitout in 2009 with a different approach. We built a British-led management team, introduced clear contracts and transparent pricing, and embraced technology to make projects easier for clients — from WhatsApp groups for day-to-day updates to online quotations, drawings, and digital signatures.
Over 15 years later, our focus remains the same: villa renovations. Unlike apartments or commercial spaces with access restrictions and complex rules, villas allow us to do what we do best — combine design, craftsmanship, and communication. Today, we’ve completed hundreds of projects across Dubai and remain the go-to partner for homeowners who want both style and certainty.
Our work has been highlighted across Dubai’s design and property community, with features in Sotheby’s Realty Journal, Betterhomes, and Dubai Design Week. InsideOut also recognised our projects, with two shortlisted and one winning Home of the Year 2018.
