Hold this back even on a fixed-price contract — owner changes are the usual cause.
This is an indicative range to help you plan — not a quotation. A firm price needs a site visit and drawings.
About this calculator
The first question almost every villa owner asks is what it will cost. This gives you a realistic range in about ten seconds — enough to know whether a plot and a plan are worth taking further.
It works on built-up area, which is the total floor area across all levels, not the plot size. Choose the finish level honestly: the gap between a standard villa and a luxury one is mostly in the finishes package, and it is the single biggest swing in the number.
What it assumes
- Construction only. Consultancy fees, Dubai Municipality permits, DEWA connection and furniture are not included.
- Assumes a serviced plot with normal soil conditions and reasonable site access.
- Rates are indicative Dubai market ranges, not a Wishbone quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. It is a market range to help you plan. A real price comes from a site visit and drawings, and is issued as a written quotation with a clear scope and exclusions.
