Blockwork &
Concrete Works.

Every villa extension, boundary wall or structural alteration starts below the finishes — with blockwork and concreting that has to be right before anything else can be built on top of it. Davies Group UAE carries out blockwork and concreting as part of villa renovations, extensions and standalone structural works across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

What's included.

Completed JVT villa rear facade and pool terrace built by Davies Group UAE

We carry out blockwork for villa extensions, internal wall alterations, boundary and garden walls, and structural openings — built to the loads and tolerances the project's structural drawings call for, not laid as a generic finish. Block sizes, mortar mix and reinforcement are specified per element, whether that's a full-height external wall or a low garden boundary wall.

Concreting covers foundations, slabs, columns and beams for extensions and structural alterations, along with external concrete works such as driveway bases, footings for pergolas and boundary walls, and floor screeds ahead of tiling or flooring. Where a project needs structural engineer sign-off, we work directly from the approved structural drawings and coordinate inspection at the correct pour stages.

Materials & Specification

Block, concrete &
reinforcement.

Blockwork is specified in standard or thermal-block concrete masonry units sized to the structural requirement, laid in accordance with the approved drawings and local authority standards. Concrete is supplied as ready-mix to the specified grade for foundations, slabs and structural elements, with steel reinforcement detailed and fixed to the structural engineer's schedule before any pour. All structural concreting on projects requiring authority approval is coordinated with the appointed structural consultant and inspected at each stage.

Frequently Asked

Common questions.

How much does blockwork and concreting cost in Dubai?
Cost depends heavily on scope — a garden boundary wall costs far less than a structural room extension. As a general guide, blockwork and concreting work typically starts from AED 15,000 for smaller garden walls and scales up based on structural requirements and approved drawings.
Do I need a structural engineer for blockwork or concreting?
For load-bearing walls, extensions, or anything requiring authority approval, yes — we work from the structural engineer's drawings and coordinate inspections. For non-structural garden or boundary walls, engineer sign-off usually isn't required.
Can you handle blockwork and concreting as part of a wider renovation?
Yes — this is most commonly carried out as part of a larger villa extension or renovation project, sequenced alongside our other trades rather than as an isolated job.
How long does a concrete pour need to cure before building on it?
It depends on the element and load, but as a general rule we allow concrete to reach sufficient strength before loading — typically several days for initial set and up to 28 days for full design strength on structural elements.
