| Item | Assumption |
|---|---|
| Built-up area | Plot area × 70% ground coverage × number of floors |
| Concrete | ≈ 0.40 m³ per m² of built-up area |
| Cement | ≈ 8 bags per m³ of concrete |
| Steel | ≈ 85 kg per m³ of concrete |
| Blockwork | ≈ 1.2 blocks per sq.ft of built-up area |
| Paint area | ≈ 3.1 × built-up area (walls + ceilings, two coats) |
| Rates | Standard from AED 380, premium from AED 480, luxury from AED 650 per sq.ft |
It is a planning tool, accurate to roughly 10–15% for a normal Dubai villa plot. It is designed to help you sanity-check a budget before commissioning drawings.
70% is a typical ground coverage ratio in UAE villa communities. If your plot has a different permitted coverage, adjust your expectation accordingly — the BOQ stage will confirm with your actual drawings.
Yes, the per-square-foot rate covers structure, MEP, finishing and standard joinery. Extras such as swimming pools, landscapes, extensive automation and bespoke furniture are added as add-ons.
Not from the calculator alone — but we will issue a free itemised BOQ within five working days of a site survey, which is the binding document.
