Quick Answer · Dubai Science Park
Building a warehouse in Dubai Science Park costs roughly AED 180–250 per sqft of GFA for a standard pre-engineered (PEB) steel shed, more for insulated logistics or cold-store facilities — typically AED 0.8M–7M depending on size. A warehouse build takes 6–16 months including design, the Dubai Science Park zone NOC, Dubai Municipality permits and a Civil Defence fire approval. PEB steel frame, engineered heavy-duty slab, fixed price from a real BOQ, 3-year warranty.
After 800+ UAE projects we see the same problems in Dubai Science Park again and again. Here's what goes wrong — and how we fix every one.
Warehouse cost lives in the steel tonnage, slab spec and cladding. We price your shed line-by-line — PEB frame, slab, envelope, MEP — and fix it, so you can compare like for like, not vague rates.
An industrial build in Dubai Science Park needs Dubai Municipality approval plus the zone/free-zone NOC, DEWA and a Civil Defence fire-system sign-off (heavier for high-pile storage). We run them in parallel so occupation isn't delayed.
An under-designed floor fails fast under point loads. We design the slab to the racking and forklift loading, with the right joints and power-floated finish.
PEB steel and insulated panels carry real lead times. We engineer and order early, and sequence erection so the programme holds.

Warehouse in Dubai Science Park projects usually fall into one of two types. One is building a new shell. The other is fitting out an existing warehouse or light-industrial unit for a life-sciences, lab-supply or logistics tenant. This section covers fit-out, which is priced by floor area rather than by room count. Indicative fit-out rates are AED 80-150 per sqft for basic work, AED 150-300 per sqft for mid-spec work and AED 300-500 per sqft for luxury or highly specified interiors. By size, a unit of up to 500 sqft is indicatively AED 60,000-130,000. A unit of 500-1,500 sqft is AED 130,000-300,000, and a unit of 1,500-5,000 sqft is AED 300,000-700,000. Dubai Science Park is a TECOM Group free-zone community. That means plans normally go to the free-zone authority, the Dubai Development Authority (DDA), rather than to Dubai Municipality, after the community has consented to the works. Dubai Civil Defence fire and life-safety approval typically takes 5-10 working days. A DEWA connection or load modification typically takes 7-14 working days. These steps run partly in parallel, so the durations should not be added together. First Unicorn Interiors handles the whole approval chain in-house, from the community NOC to final Civil Defence inspection. All figures are indicative ranges only. Final cost depends on finish level, materials sourcing, structural complexity and the approval cycle, and is confirmed only after an on-site survey.
Most warehouse fit-outs in Dubai Science Park start with consent from TECOM Group community management. Drawings then go to the free-zone authority, the Dubai Development Authority, which reviews them in place of Dubai Municipality in most free-zone cases. Where a plot or scope does fall under Dubai Municipality, building or fit-out plan approval typically takes 10-15 working days. Dubai Civil Defence must approve the fire and life-safety design, which typically takes 5-10 working days. That covers sprinklers, fire alarm, emergency lighting, exit routes and any high-piled racking. If you are adding cold rooms, heavy HVAC or new production equipment, DEWA must approve the connection or load change, typically within 7-14 working days. Several of these reviews overlap, so the total is shorter than the sum of the individual steps. Overall approval risk for this scope is medium. It rises when a tenant changes the unit's use, for example from dry storage to chemical storage or lab use. That change triggers a fuller fire-safety review.
Programme length depends mainly on floor area. Indicative fit-out timelines are 4-6 weeks for a small unit up to 500 sqft and 6-10 weeks for a 500-1,500 sqft unit. A larger 1,500-5,000 sqft facility takes 10-16 weeks. These timelines cover the build. They assume approvals have been secured, or are moving in parallel with procurement. On the approvals side, the bottlenecks are usually Dubai Civil Defence comments on fire-fighting layouts and DEWA scheduling for load upgrades, which take 5-10 and 7-14 working days respectively. Free-zone authority review and the TECOM community NOC add to this, depending on how complete the submission is. Long-lead items also move the dates. These include insulated panels, rapid-roll doors, mezzanine steel and specialist ventilation, because they cannot be fabricated until drawings are approved. The most reliable way to protect your handover date is to fix the racking layout and equipment schedule before design is frozen, because a late change to either reopens the Civil Defence and DEWA submissions.
The headline range runs from AED 80 to AED 500 per sqft, and three things decide where a project falls within it. The first is specification tier. Basic work, at AED 80-150 per sqft, covers lighting, power, partitioning and a simple office pod. Mid-spec work, at AED 150-300 per sqft, adds air-conditioned office or pick zones, better flooring and upgraded fire systems. Luxury or high-spec work, at AED 300-500 per sqft, suits temperature-controlled, clean or lab-grade spaces of the kind common among Dubai Science Park's life-sciences occupiers. The second is finish level and community tier. Both increase cost proportionally across the whole scope rather than as a fixed add-on. The third is structural complexity: mezzanines, floor strengthening for racking loads, new openings and roof penetrations for extraction all push costs towards the upper end of the range. Fit-out is a different scope from building a new pre-engineered steel shell, and the two are priced separately. Every figure is indicative and is confirmed only after an on-site survey.
An industrial unit in Dubai Science Park sits inside a TECOM Group free zone, so fitting it out follows a different approval route from a mainland warehouse. In most cases your drawings are reviewed by the free-zone authority, the Dubai Development Authority (DDA), rather than Dubai Municipality. That changes who approves your drawings, who inspects the work and how the timeline runs. You will also need Civil Defence approval for fire and life safety, which typically takes 5-10 working days, and a DEWA connection or modification, which typically takes 7-14 working days. These steps run partly in parallel, so don't add their durations together. Units in the park are used for laboratories, light manufacturing, life-science storage and research logistics. Each use changes the specification: floor loading, HVAC capacity, clean or controlled zones, racking layout and fire suppression. Commercial fit-out is priced by floor area, not by rooms. Indicative rates are AED 80-150 per sqft for a basic fit-out, AED 150-300 per sqft for mid-spec and AED 300-500 per sqft for high-specification finishes. For a large unit of 1,500-5,000 sqft, the indicative range is AED 300,000-700,000, delivered over 10-16 weeks. On the mainland, DLD and RERA rules govern lease registration. Science Park tenancies are run through the free zone instead, so get your landlord's fit-out guidelines before design starts. First Unicorn Interiors prepares the full submission package in-house and backs its work with a 3-year warranty. All figures are indicative and are confirmed only after an on-site survey.
Fit-out cost depends on floor area and specification, not on how many rooms you need. Indicative per-sqft rates fall into three bands: AED 80-150 for a basic fit-out, AED 150-300 for mid-spec, and AED 300-500 for luxury or high-specification work. By unit size, the indicative totals are AED 60,000-130,000 for units up to 500 sqft, AED 130,000-300,000 for 500-1,500 sqft, and AED 300,000-700,000 for 1,500-5,000 sqft. Where your project lands within a band depends on a few things. Sealed or easy-clean surfaces for lab and life-science tenants cost more than plain storage finishes. Upgraded HVAC or extra electrical load can add DEWA modification work. Fire suppression must match what you plan to store. Mezzanine or partition structures add structural complexity. Sourcing materials locally rather than importing them also affects price. These are indicative ranges only. The final figure depends on finish level, materials sourcing, structural complexity and the approval cycle, and is confirmed only after an on-site survey of your unit.
Dubai Science Park is a free zone, so for most fit-outs the free-zone authority, the Dubai Development Authority (DDA), handles plan approval in place of Dubai Municipality. Where a Dubai Municipality building or fit-out plan approval does apply, allow 10-15 working days. Every unit needs Civil Defence approval for fire and life safety, which typically takes 5-10 working days. This approval covers sprinklers, alarms, emergency lighting and escape routes, and it gets stricter for chemical or hazardous storage. If you add power, change the load or reconfigure the supply, you need a DEWA connection or modification, which typically takes 7-14 working days. DHA approval, at 15-25 working days, applies only if the unit includes aesthetic or medical treatment rooms. Standard labs and storage do not trigger it. These approvals run partly in parallel, so don't add their durations together. Overall approval risk for this type of project is medium. The most common cause of delay is drawings that don't match the landlord's fit-out guidelines, so check those guidelines before you submit.
Indicative build timelines depend on unit size. Units up to 500 sqft typically take 4-6 weeks, units of 500-1,500 sqft take 6-10 weeks, and units of 1,500-5,000 sqft take 10-16 weeks. These periods cover work on site. The approval stage comes before them and partly overlaps with design. Civil Defence (5-10 working days) and DEWA (7-14 working days) usually run alongside the free-zone authority review, so the approval stage is shorter than the sum of its parts. Three things decide whether you hit the lower or upper end of each range. First, lead times on specialist equipment such as cleanroom panels, industrial HVAC or racking. Second, whether the unit's existing services can take your planned load without a DEWA modification. Third, how many rounds of comments your drawings get from the authorities. Submitting a complete, guideline-compliant package first time is the best way to protect your schedule. First Unicorn Interiors handles approvals in-house and runs design and permit work in parallel wherever the authorities allow it.
