Design and build villa finishing in Riyadh for new-build, off-plan and renovation projects, from majlis planning and MEP to joinery, smart home, landscape and handover. Itemised BOQ after a site survey.
Riyadh keeps building villas, especially in north Riyadh districts such as Al Malqa, Hittin, Al Narjis, Al Yasmin and Al Aqiq. Some owners build on their own plot and receive a bare shell (عظم) from the structural contractor. Others take an off-plan villa from a developer and want to personalise it, and many are renovating an older villa that no longer fits the family. The hard part is the same: turning a structure into a home that works for your family, your guests and the Riyadh climate, without managing ten separate trades.
NoVi Designs and Finishing is a design and build contractor with a Saudi branch on Al Shaikh Hamad Al Thany Street in Al Olaya, Riyadh, supported by our design studio in Cairo. From villa interior design to the last snag, we take a villa from site survey to handover under one contract: space planning, interior design, 3D visuals, MEP coordination, finishing works, joinery and kitchens, smart home, exterior and landscape, and handover with as-built drawings and a defects period. Our quality management system for finishing and decoration works is certified to ISO 9001.
Structure and block walls are up, with no plaster, MEP, flooring or ceilings. It is the widest scope and the best moment to get layout, AC routes, plumbing and insulation right. Ideally we join before the structure is finished, so openings, shafts and roof details suit the design.
Developer villas usually arrive finished to a standard specification. We survey what was delivered, check what the developer warranty and community rules allow, then change flooring, kitchens, lighting, joinery or majlis finishes without harming systems you still want covered.
Older villas often have tired MEP, weak insulation and a single entrance for family and guests. We start with a condition survey of AC, plumbing, electrical and waterproofing, because finishing over failing services is money lost.
Men's and women's majlis: a men's majlis near the main entrance and a separate women's majlis or family reception, each with its own guest bathroom, planned for seating capacity, coffee service and acoustic privacy. See our Gulf and majlis designs.
Separate circulation: guests reach the majlis and dining room without seeing family areas, usually through a separate guest entrance and a service corridor from kitchen to dining.
Service areas: a driver room with its own external access, maid rooms near the kitchen and laundry with proper AC, a service or outdoor kitchen for heavy cooking, and real space for tanks, pumps and AC equipment.
Najdi-inspired modern design suits many Riyadh owners: clean lines, sand and earth palettes, textured plaster and stone, geometric openings, timber accents and controlled daylight. Others prefer contemporary luxury, neo-classic or calm minimalism. We keep one direction from facade to majlis. Browse our Gulf designs, Arabian culture designs and modern residential design.
Lighting scenes, AC and curtain control, CCTV, intercom and access control through our home automation service, with partners including HDL and Schneider, wired at the MEP stage. Shaded courtyards and roof terraces with fans, lighting and drip irrigation extend living space for much of the year. See our villa exterior and landscape design work.
Structural changes, extensions, new annexes or facade changes typically need a municipal permit through Balady, and works generally follow the Saudi Building Code, with Civil Defense requirements for some elements. Developer communities usually have their own approval steps for exterior changes, and power and water connections typically go through the Saudi Electricity Company and the water provider. The authority or developer confirms what applies, and we prepare the drawings and agree upfront who submits each item.
NoVi execution typically takes 4 to 8 months depending on scope. A large villa from shell with basement, pool and full landscape may take longer. The main drivers are the starting condition, design sign-off speed, permit or developer approvals, long-lead items such as imported stone, joinery and AC equipment, and the summer limits on outdoor work. We do not publish price per square metre figures, because cost depends on the starting condition, built-up area and floors, AC system, finish level in the majlis and master suite, stone and imported materials, joinery, smart home and outdoor works. You receive an itemised BOQ after the site survey and a programme with design, approvals, procurement and site phases shown separately.
Deliveries on residential streets, storage on the plot and noise around neighbours all need planning. Working hours change in Ramadan, and each summer Saudi Arabia typically applies a midday ban on outdoor work in direct sun, usually from 15 June to 15 September between 12:00 and 15:00, so the current year's dates should be checked. We schedule facade, roof and landscape works around it.

Ideally before the structure is finished. At shell stage (عظم) we can still adjust openings, shafts, roof details and AC routes to suit the interior design, which avoids breaking out work later.
Yes. We survey what was delivered, check what the developer warranty and community rules allow, and design changes to flooring, kitchens, lighting, joinery and majlis finishes so they do not affect systems you want to keep under warranty.
It depends on the scope.

Yes. We plan a men's majlis near the main entrance and a separate women's majlis or family reception, each with a guest bathroom, coffee service point and acoustic privacy, plus guest circulation that keeps family areas private.
Many villas suit central or ducted systems because they keep walls clean and allow zoning per floor, while splits can suit annexes and service rooms. The right choice depends on orientation, glazing, insulation and use. We size loads per zone and fix duct routes before the gypsum ceilings.
