To ensure your project with Khalol Construction and Demolition, one of the leading demolition contractors in dubai, goes smoothly and stays within Dubai’s legal framework for 2026, here is a strategic checklist of questions.

I have categorized these so you can ask them during your first meeting or include them in your email.

1. Licensing and Legal Authority

Before signing anything, you must verify they are authorized for your specific project type.

  • “Do you have a valid Dubai Municipality (DM) license specifically for [Demolition/General Contracting]?”
  • “Are you registered with the Dubai Building Permit System (BPS) for 2026?” (This is essential for the new integrated permit process).
  • “If my property is in a specialized zone (like Trakhees/JAFZA or DDA), are you an approved contractor for that specific authority?”

2. Permits and Utility Disconnection

In 2026, the utility and demolition permits are often linked.

  • “Will you handle the ‘Integrated Demolition Request’ that includes the DEWA disconnection and the DM permit?”
  • “Do you provide the ‘Method Statement’ and ‘HSE Plan’ required by the Municipality, or do I need to hire a separate consultant for that?”
  • “How do you handle the RTA (Roads & Transport Authority) NOC if we need to park heavy machinery or skips on the street?”

3. Safety and Neighbor Relations

Demolition in Dubai is strict about noise and dust.

  • “What ‘Hoarding’ (fencing) standards do you use? Is it the DM-approved colored corrugated sheets with proper signage?”
  • “How will you manage dust suppression?” (Ask if they use water-misting systems, which are often required for villa demolitions).
  • “What is your plan to ensure the vibration from demolition doesn’t affect the neighbor’s structure?”

4. Insurance and Liability

  • “Can you provide a copy of your Third-Party Liability Insurance?” (This covers damage to your neighbor’s house if something goes wrong).
  • “Are all your workers covered by ‘Workmen’s Compensation Insurance’?”
  • “Who is liable for any fines issued by Dubai Municipality during the work—the owner or the contractor?” (Ensure the contract says the contractor is liable for site-management fines).

5. Waste Management

  • “Which landfill or recycling center will the debris be taken to?” (In 2026, Dubai has strict “Green Building” recycling targets).
  • “Does your quote include the ‘Tipping Fees’ (the cost to dump waste), or is that an extra charge?”
  • “Will the site be left ‘Level and Clean’ (backfilled with sand and compacted) after demolition?”

Red Flags to Watch For:

Vague Timelines: Ensure they give you a clear “Start Date” and “Completion Date” in writing.

The “Cash-Only” Discount: If they offer a massive discount for cash with no formal contract, they may be skipping the mandatory insurance.

Missing Permits: If they suggest starting “small works” before the DM permit is issued—do not agree. Fines for unpermitted work in 2026 are very high (starting at AED 50,000+).

2026 Average Demolition Costs (Dubai Market)

Use these figures as a “sanity check” for any quotes you receive.

  • Full Villa Demolition:
    • Single Story: $50 – 80$ AED / $m^2$
    • Multi-Story: $90 – 150$ AED / $m^2$
    • Note: A typical 3,000 sq. ft. villa total cost usually ranges from AED 150,000 to AED 280,000 including permits and debris removal.
  • Interior Strip-Out:
    • Basic (Non-structural): $5 – 7$ AED / sq. ft.
    • Complex (Structural/Commercial): $10 – 15$ AED / sq. ft.
  • Specific Items:
    • Tile Removal: $20 – 45$ AED / $m^2$
    • Non-load-bearing wall removal: $150 – 350$ AED / linear meter.
    • Demolition Permit Fees: $5,000 – 15,000$ AED (depending on building size).

3. How to Compare the Quotes

When you receive a quote from Khalol or others, check for these three specific inclusions:

Finding Reliable Demolition Contractors in Dubai

  1. “Tipping Fees”: Ensure the price includes the cost of dumping the waste at a government-approved landfill. If not, you might get a surprise bill of AED 10,000+ later.
  2. “Backfilling & Levelling”: Does the quote include filling the holes with sand and compacting the ground? This is necessary if you plan to build something new immediately.
  3. “Utility Capping”: Verify if they are responsible for safely sealing the water and sewage lines at the boundary wall.
