The Budget Studio.

Build your renovation budget the way a studio would: space by space, with the trade-offs visible. The band updates as you work. It is a plan to think with, not a quote.

The property.

Where it is and how old it is moves the number as much as what you do inside it.

The scope, space by space.

Most projects are not “everything.” Switch on the spaces you are touching and set each one’s level. Considered is disciplined and careful. Elevated is the full studio specification. Bespoke is joinery-led and made for you.

The bones.

The invisible work that decides whether the visible work survives.

Layout changes Removing or moving walls, new openings, reconfigured rooms. Brings authority approvals and engineering into the programme. Renew what’s behind the walls Full electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning renewal. In older properties this is where budgets are honestly won or lost. Furniture & styling Loose furniture, lighting, rugs, art and the final layer. Typically arrives through its own procurement programme.

The programme.

Time is a budget line. Compression is paid for.

Your planning band

Bring this plan to a consultation

Or keep the plan. We’ll send it as a document you can share, with every assumption stated.

Indicative planning band in AED, excluding VAT, calibrated to current Dubai market rates. The design fee is scoped per project (a share of works cost that scales with size and complexity) and confirmed in any formal proposal. Bands are superseded by any formal proposal and are a reasonable reference for about sixty days. Not a quote.

Numbers are half the brief.

The other half is what the rooms should feel like. Start your design brief. Ten minutes, and it makes this plan considerably smarter.

A plan is better with a second opinion.

Bring your band to a working consultation: forty-five minutes with a principal, a written brief, and your numbers pressure-tested against the property itself.
