Our dear beloved blog reader, welcome back to another interesting read…<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve noted the curiosity as to what determines design & fit-out costs in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Let us examine these cost determinants, shall we ? grab your cup of coffee or whatever you prefer as we look at these factors;<\/p>\n

First of all no two projects have exactly the same requirements.<\/em> A villa, commercial property, or retail space of a similar size can have completely different budgets depending on the overall design scope,<\/strong><\/em> level of customization, technical requirements, material selections, and complexity of execution.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u0641\u064a \u0628\u0648\u0627\u062f\u0642\u062c\u064a<\/a>, Design<\/strong> may include Architectural Design,<\/strong><\/a> \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0635\u0645\u064a\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0627\u062e\u0644\u064a<\/strong><\/a> and<\/strong> Landscape Design<\/strong>,<\/a> either individually or as an integrated design package. The overall cost therefore depends on which scope details are required.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Determinate 1: Property Size & Layout\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The size<\/strong> and complexity of the property are among the first considerations when determining design and fit-out costs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

However, square meter rage alone does not determine the price. The overall scope must also be considered, including whether the project requires architectural, interior and\/or landscape design<\/strong>, as well as the extent of the subsequent fit-out services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

A complete villa involving architectural modifications, interior design and external landscape development will naturally require a different level of design coordination than a project limited to selected interior areas.<\/p>\n\n

Determinate 2: Design Scope & Level of Detail<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The professional design fee is determined by the disciplines involved and the level of development required.<\/p>\n\n

A comprehensive design scope may include:<\/p>\n\n

2.1 Architectural & Landscape Design<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Layout Development or Modification<\/strong> – this consists of the architectural plan & design.<\/li>\n
  2. Mood Board<\/strong> – this consists of; the concept or idea behind the design. It includes: Material Mood Board & Design Mood Board.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  3. 3D Design<\/strong> – this consists of; 3D renders consisting of exterior views of the villa, and complete landscape, including walkways, outdoor seating, used plants, and showcasing colours, suggested materials, lighting elements, main entrance gate and the exterior fence.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a02D Drawings<\/strong> – this consists of; Elevations drawings of all sides of the villa with the landscape and the fences, showing all design details and lighting points, and the top plan of the villa with a description of all materials and measurements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
