Turnkey architecture in Dubai at a glance
Turnkey means one contract for design, approvals and construction. You agree the brief and the budget with one team, and that team delivers the finished building, with no gap between the designer and the builder.
In short
- What we deliver turnkey: villas, renovations and extensions, and fit-outs
- Who it suits: owners who want one contract and one point of responsibility
- Approvals: Dubai Municipality, DDA or Trakhees, and the community NOC, all handled by us
- Handover: snag list, completion certificate and a defects liability period
Turnkey, or design first and then tender?
Turnkey with Al Mujassam
- You want one contract and one team responsible for everything
- You do not have time to coordinate designers and contractors
- You want the design and the build priced together, early
Design with us, then tender
- You want to compare several contractors' prices
- You already have a contractor you trust
- You want an independent supervisor checking the builder
Not sure which suits your project? We will recommend one at the first meeting.

Our Process
How a turnkey project runs
-
Brief and budget
We agree what you want built, the budget and the timeline, and check the plot and the approval route.
-
Design and approvals
Architecture, interiors, structure and MEP are designed together, and we take the drawings through every approval.
-
Construction
Our project managers run the site, check quality at each stage and send you regular progress updates.
-
Handover
Final inspections, the snag list, the completion certificate and the handover documents, followed by the defects liability period.
Thank God, the engineer worked on a modern design for me that I liked, and the implementation was done without any problems to mention. Thank God, the pictures are attached. I recommend this consultant, his price is affordable for everyone, but the work and attention are excellent.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a turnkey project cost in Dubai?
It depends on the size, the specification and the scope. We price it once the brief is agreed. For typical villa construction costs, see our guide on the cost to build a villa in Dubai.
Is turnkey more expensive than hiring a designer and a contractor separately?
Not necessarily. The difference is who carries the coordination between design and construction. Compare proposals on the same scope and specification.
Do you do turnkey renovations?
Yes. Villa renovations, extensions and fit-outs can be delivered turnkey, from the survey of the existing building to handover.
Can I make changes during construction?
Yes. Every change is priced and its effect on the programme explained before you approve it.
Who is responsible for defects after handover?
We are, for the defects liability period set in the contract.
