Homes designed around how you live

From apartments to villas, one accountable team takes your home from first concept to turnkey handover — design, joinery, finishes and aftercare, on a transparent budget.

Quick answer: As a 2026 guide, a residential fit-out or interior design project in the UAE costs AED 150–280 per sq ft for basic specifications, AED 280–550 mid-range and AED 600–1,100+ premium. A full apartment or villa fit-out typically runs 8–16 weeks depending on joinery, material lead times and approvals. V Square provides a transparent line-item quote after a site visit.

What's included

Design to delivery, under one roof

Design

Concept & space planning

Mood boards, layouts and photorealistic 3D visuals — designed around your family's routines, storage needs and style, and validated against building and community rules before anything is ordered.

Craft

Bespoke joinery

Wardrobes, dressing rooms, TV walls, kitchen cabinetry and study units manufactured in our partner workshops — critical in UAE homes where every square metre carries a premium.

Build

Renovation & MEP

Partitions, ceilings, flooring, painting, lighting, electrical and plumbing — sequenced so trades land in the right order and finished rooms are protected as work moves through the home.

Care

Furnishing & handover

FF&E specification, curtains and styling, deep clean, snagging and a defect-liability period — you receive a home that is ready to live in, not a site to manage.

Process

How a residential project runs

1. Consultation & site survey

We walk the home, listen to how you live, and capture measurements and baseline conditions. You receive a scope outline and budget range within days.

2. Design & approvals

Concept, 3D visuals and technical drawings, followed by community, developer or authority approvals where structural or MEP changes are involved.

3. Fixed quotation

A line-item quotation covering materials, joinery, finishes and a milestone programme — approved by you before work begins.

4. Construction & fit-out

Weekly photo reporting and milestone inspections; variations are documented and approved before any extra cost is incurred.

5. Handover & aftercare

Snagging, deep clean, handover documentation and a defect-liability period — we stay accountable after you move back in.

Timelines & cost drivers

What moves a residential fit-out budget and timeline

As a general guide, UAE fit-out finishes range from around AED 150–280 per sq ft for basic specifications to AED 280–550 mid-range and AED 600–1,100+ premium — the spread reflects material selection, joinery scope and how much of the home is being changed. The real cost drivers in a home project are the joinery package, kitchen and bathroom works, MEP changes, and material lead times; the programme drivers are joinery fabrication and community or developer approval cycles. Our villa and apartment cost guides break the numbers down in detail. A site visit and line-item quote is the honest way to budget.

AED 150–280 per sq ft — basic specifications
AED 600–1,100+ per sq ft — premium tier
8–16 weeks — full apartment or villa fit-out

Bottom line: budget AED 150–280/sq ft for basic finishes and 8–16 weeks for a full home fit-out, then confirm with a line-item quote after a site visit.
