What does it cost to build a villa in Dubai?
The factors that set the price of a villa, and how to get an accurate, itemised quotation.
It depends on your drawings.
Every villa is different, so a reliable price comes from pricing your approved drawings item by item. A rate per square foot without drawings is only a rough indication.
Send us your drawings and we will return an itemised, BOQ-based quotation that shows exactly what is included and what is not.
What drives the price
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Built-up area | The total floor area to be built is the biggest driver of cost. |
| Number of floors | G+1, G+2 or a basement changes the structure and the programme. |
| Structure & foundations | Soil conditions and the structural design set the foundation and frame cost. |
| Finishes | Flooring, joinery, sanitaryware and facade materials can vary widely in price. |
| MEP specification | Air conditioning, electrical, plumbing and smart-home systems. |
| External works | Boundary walls, landscaping, pools and hardscape. |
| Approvals & fees | Authority, developer and utility connection fees, usually priced separately. |
Villa cost questions
How much does it cost to build a villa in Dubai?
There is no single price: it depends on the built-up area, design, structure, finishes and MEP specification. Send us your drawings for an itemised quotation.
Can you quote without full drawings?
We can give an early indication from a brief and plot details, but an accurate quotation needs the approved drawings.
What is a BOQ?
A bill of quantities lists every item of work and material with its quantity. Pricing against a BOQ shows exactly what is included.
Are authority fees included?
Authority and developer fees are usually separate from the construction price. We list what is and is not included in every quotation.
