Fixed-price plot construction for Expo City homes — from AED 1,575,000. Expo City Dubai community approvals handled in-house. Free 3D design. 3-year warranty across 800+ Dubai projects.
Quick Answer · Expo City
Building on a plot in Expo City costs roughly AED 390/sqft for a standard build, AED 600–800/sqft for premium, and AED 1,000+/sqft for ultra-luxury — typically AED 1.5M–6M+ for a 4–6 bedroom home, excluding land. A turnkey plot build takes 12–18 months including a free feasibility study, design, a Expo City community NOC and Dubai Municipality permits. Foundation, ground-slab and roof-slab inspections are mandatory. Fixed price from a real BOQ, 3-year warranty.
After 800+ Dubai projects we see the same problems in Expo City again and again. Here's what goes wrong — and how we fix every one.
Owning land in Expo City is step one. We run a free feasibility on your exact plot — what you can build within coverage, set-back and height rules — then design and build it turnkey, so you go from title deed to keys with one team.
Per-sqft swings from ~AED 390 to AED 1,000+ by spec. We price your build line-by-line from a real BOQ — structure, MEP, finishes, external works — and fix it before you commit.
A new build on your Expo City plot needs Dubai Municipality building-permit approval plus a community NOC, with DEWA, Civil Defence and telecom NOCs alongside — run in parallel, not sequentially, so the slab isn't delayed.
A separate architect, contractor and fit-out crew leaves nobody accountable. As a single design-and-build we own the whole plot-to-handover chain.
