What is included
A fit out company for villas, apartments, offices and shops, building ceilings, partitions, joinery, flooring and finishes with its own trades. Most fit out delays in Abu Dhabi come from permits, building access rules and trades waiting on each other. We identify the approvals your building, master developer or the authorities ask for at the site visit, prepare that paperwork, and run every trade under one supervisor to a written programme.
- Plumbing, drain and socket positions marked on the survey drawing
- Appliance models confirmed before any carcass is cut
- Base units levelled on adjustable legs behind a sealed plinth
- Worktop templated after the base units are fixed
How we carry out custom kitchen cabinets
Appliances are confirmed first, since an oven housing or a fridge niche is cut to the model. The survey marks the water, waste, gas and electrical points, and the drawings show each cabinet with its internal fittings. Carcasses are made in moisture resistant board and stand on adjustable legs, never straight on the floor. Base units are levelled and fixed, the worktop is templated from them and installed, then wall units, doors, handles and the sink and hob connections follow.
Water finishes more kitchens than wear does. A slow drip under the sink or a mop bucket against an unsealed plinth swells ordinary chipboard until the doors no longer line up. Cabinets over a hob need clearance and a path for the extract duct, and a dishwasher without a steam barrier lifts the edge of the worktop above it. In apartments the drain and the gas point rarely move far. The site visit establishes what can be relocated and what the building asks for.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
Custom Kitchen Cabinets in Al Bateen: what we plan for
Al Bateen runs along the western shore of Abu Dhabi island, south of the Corniche, and is one of the city's oldest prime addresses. Large private villas fill the inland streets. The waterfront holds Al Bateen Park with its villas, townhouses and low rise Plaza apartments, the Marasy and Bloom Marina buildings around the marina, hotel residences, and the separate villa island of Nareel.
Sea air comes off the marina and the open water to the west, so glass, railings and outdoor AC units collect a salt film within days. Mature gardens drop leaves and pollen into pools and gutters, and irrigation on the older plots leaves white mineral rings on boundary walls and paving. Older villas often run split units and package units of different ages, plus booster pumps and pool plant. Each item is listed on the first visit, then condensers, drain lines and pumps are serviced to one schedule.
Al Bateen Park, Nareel Island and the marina buildings have gate security, so the resident registers our team in advance. Apartments need a work permit and a service lift booking. Exterior work may need master community approval, identified at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.

Questions about custom kitchen cabinets in Al Bateen
What does custom kitchen cabinets include?
Kitchen cabinets built to the room and to your appliances, in moisture resistant carcasses with soft close hardware, fitted level and coordinated with the worktop template. The work includes plumbing, drain and socket positions marked on the survey drawing; appliance models confirmed before any carcass is cut; base units levelled on adjustable legs behind a sealed plinth.
Can the cabinets be replaced and the worktop kept?
Sometimes, if the stone is sound and the new base units match the old footprint exactly. Lifting and refitting a worktop carries a risk of cracking at the sink cut out, which we explain on site before you decide. Replacing doors and drawer fronts alone is the lower risk option.
Which material lasts longest for kitchen cabinets in Abu Dhabi?
For carcasses, moisture resistant board or marine plywood with all edges sealed. For doors, laminate and a properly cured lacquer both stand up well, while solid timber moves with the dry AC air. Hinges and runners matter as much as the board.
How much does custom kitchen cabinets cost in Al Bateen?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access.

Yes. We build from your designer's drawings and specifications, and raise any buildability questions before the quotation is issued.
