Budgeting

The Real Fitout Cost Guide for Dubai & the UAE

Back to the Journal

Interior design pricing in Dubai varies more than most homeowners expect — here is what actually drives the number on your quote.

Three things move a Dubai fitout budget more than any other factor: the amount of bespoke joinery specified, the finish level of surfaces and fixtures, and whether MEP or structural work is required. A villa refresh that keeps the existing layout costs a fraction of a full turnkey renovation with new wiring, plumbing and joinery throughout.

As a general guide, a full apartment fitout in Dubai runs AED 150 to 280 per square foot, a villa renovation AED 200 to 350 per square foot, and a premium office fitout AED 220 to 380 per square foot — see our full pricing guide for a detailed breakdown by project type.

The only way to get an accurate number for your specific project is a site visit — square footage, existing condition and your finish preferences all change the calculation. We provide that visit and a first itemised proposal free, anywhere in the UAE.
