Kitchens & cabinets
Cabinetry from our own Al Quoz workshop, worktops templated on site, appliances and services coordinated by one team — for a new kitchen in a shell apartment or villa, or a renovation of the one you have.
A modular kitchen is built from standard carcass widths and depths, which is what makes it efficient to produce and quick to install. The problem in Dubai is the rooms. Villa kitchens are rarely square, AC bulkheads interrupt the tall-unit run, the drainage is where the developer left it, and a showroom kitchen in fixed widths ends up with filler panels, a gap behind the fridge and an island that cannot be where it should be.
We make modular kitchens in our own workshop in Al Quoz Industrial First, so the modules are sized to your room rather than the other way round. Because the same team also runs the plumbing, electrical and gas, the drawings coordinate the sink with the drain, the hob with the extraction and the island with its floor box before anything is cut. The kitchen in the photograph above was built this way for a renovation in Downtown Dubai.
What we make
Cabinets only, cabinets plus worktops and appliances, or the whole room including services and flooring.
Made-to-measure modules in lacquer, veneer, laminate or acrylic, with soft-close drawers and hinges, planned around the working triangle and the services.
Islands with seating, storage and services. The floor box for power and the extraction route are decided at first fix, not after the stone has been fitted.
Oven and fridge housings built to the appliance schedule, larder pull-outs, and walk-in or butler’s pantries in the same system and finish.
Quartz, porcelain, granite and solid surface, templated on site after the carcasses are in so the joints land where the drawing says.
Strip-out and replacement of an existing kitchen, keeping the services where they are, or moving them with the DEWA and developer approvals that brings.
Bar units, coffee stations and banquette seating made alongside the kitchen so the finishes run through.
How it is done
A kitchen is a joinery job and an MEP job at the same time. Running them with one team is what stops the sink arriving before the drain has moved.
Book a kitchen surveyWe measure the room at worktop and ceiling height, locate the drainage stack, water and gas points, the extraction route and the electrical supply, and record the AC diffusers and bulkheads. Then we plan the layout: sink, hob and fridge placement, the island, tall-unit run and where the bins and the dishwasher go. Whether the kitchen stays where it is or moves is decided here, because moving it changes the approvals.
Every appliance is confirmed by model before the drawings are finalised. Housings, cut-outs, ventilation gaps and electrical loads are built to the real units, so an oven that arrives a size up does not mean rebuilding a tall unit.
Plans, elevations and sections of every carcass, door, drawer and panel, with services marked. Door finish, carcass colour, handle or push-to-open, worktop and splashback are agreed against physical samples, and the signed sample becomes the standard the kitchen is checked against.
Plumbing, drainage, electrical and gas alterations are completed on site while the cabinetry is being made. If the kitchen is being relocated or the load increases, the DEWA application and, in most communities, the developer NOC run here. See approvals.
Carcasses in moisture-resistant board, doors sprayed or veneered, drawer boxes assembled, all in our Al Quoz workshop. Every unit is dry-assembled with its hardware before delivery.
Carcasses are installed and levelled, worktops are templated to the installed units and fitted, splashbacks follow, appliances are connected and the kitchen is commissioned. Snags are closed by the team that made it.

Apartments, townhouses and villas where the kitchen was made in our own workshop.
Specification & cost
We price a kitchen line by line from the shop drawings and the appliance schedule after a survey, rather than per running metre. These are the decisions that move the number.
Laminate is the most economical and the toughest in a working kitchen. Sprayed PU lacquer gives a seamless colour in matt or gloss. Veneer, book-matched across a run, costs the most and dates the least. Acrylic and super-matt laminates sit between.
Moisture-resistant board throughout, 2mm ABS edging with PUR adhesive, soft-close hinges and full-extension drawer runners. Drawers cost more than doors; a kitchen that is mostly drawers is more expensive and far better to use.
Quartz and solid surface are predictable; porcelain and natural stone bring slab sizes, joints and lead times into the drawing. Waterfall ends and mitred edges add fabrication time. Templated on site after installation, never from drawings.
Relocating the sink, hob or the whole room means new drainage, water, gas and electrical runs, a DEWA application and usually a developer NOC. It is the single biggest step up in cost and programme, and we say so at survey.
Integrated appliances need housings built to the model; a downdraft or island hood needs a ducting route that may not exist. We confirm both before drawings are finalised.
Flooring, ceiling, lighting and painting are often replaced with the kitchen. They are priced as their own lines so you can see what the cabinetry costs on its own.
Send a photograph and a rough plan, or book a survey. We will measure, locate the services, draw a layout and come back with a priced drawing and an appliance schedule you can compare.
Common questions
Modular versus bespoke, cost, moving the kitchen, approvals and humidity. If yours is not here, call +971 50 448 3095.
A modular kitchen is built from standard carcass sizes, which keeps production efficient. A bespoke kitchen has every unit drawn individually for the room. Because we make both in our own workshop, we size the modules to your room and add bespoke units where the room needs them — a corner, a bulkhead, an island — so you get the efficiency of one with the fit of the other.
It depends on the door finish, the proportion of drawers to doors, the worktop, the appliances and whether the kitchen is moving. A laminate kitchen in the existing position with a quartz top sits at one end; a veneered kitchen with porcelain worktops, integrated appliances and a relocated island at the other. We survey, draw and price line by line so you can see each decision.
Sometimes. If the worktop is in one piece and the new carcasses can be built to the same depth and height, it can be lifted and relaid. Stone usually cracks on lifting, and a new layout rarely matches the old cut-outs, so in most renovations the worktop is replaced. We tell you which at survey.
Replacing cabinets in the same position usually needs only the developer or building NOC. Moving the sink, hob or the whole kitchen means new drainage, gas and electrical runs, a DEWA application, and in most communities a developer NOC and a Dubai Municipality or Trakhees permit. We confirm the route at survey and handle the submissions. See authority approvals.
If it is built for it. We use moisture-resistant board for every carcass, seal all edges with 2mm ABS edging, keep the sink base protected and allow ventilation behind the fridge and oven housings. The kitchens that fail here are built in standard board with thin edging, and the sink base goes first.
Yes. New apartments and villas handed over without a kitchen, or with a developer kitchen you want to replace before moving in, are a regular part of our residential fit-out work. We coordinate with the handover inspection and the building management on access.
We build to the appliances you choose and connect them at installation. We can source them or work with units you have bought, but the models must be confirmed before drawings are finalised so the housings and loads are right.
Yes. When the kitchen is made with the panelling, media wall or wardrobes for the same home, veneer leaves and lacquer batches are allocated across all of them so the finishes run through the house.
Yes. We deliver and install across the UAE, including Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Recent work includes the apartment at Lamar and The Dahlia in Abu Dhabi.
