      Arsetco

      Already have a design or a contractor? We act for you on procurement, quality, cost and progress, and report clearly until completion.

    Client representative

    Someone on site who works for you.

    Building a villa means dozens of decisions, contractors and invoices. We sit on your side of the table for all of them.

    1. 01

      Brief and budget

      We walk the plot, read the numbers and agree a clear scope, budget and programme before anyone draws a line.

    2. 02

      Consultants and approvals

      We select and manage the consultants, and steer the drawings through developer and authority approvals.

    3. 03

      Tender and procurement

      We tender the work, compare like with like, and recommend the contractors and suppliers that fit your brief.

    4. 04

      Site supervision

      We are on site through every stage, checking the work against the drawings and the design intent.

    5. 05

      Cost and quality control

      Every variation is priced and approved by you first. Every finish is inspected before it is signed off.

    6. 06

      Reports and handover

      Regular written reports on progress, decisions and risks. Snagging, handover and keys when the work is right.

      Who we work for

      You bring the plot. We bring the rest.

      01

      Plot owners

      You own the land in Dubai Hills, Damac Hills or elsewhere in Dubai. We design the villa, get it approved, build it and hand you the keys.

      02

      Property owners

      Your villa or office needs more than paint. We renovate, extend and refit with drawings first, so the result is planned, not improvised.

      03

      Investors

      You need a property that sells or lets well, on budget and on time. We control cost, programme and quality, and report to you at every milestone.
