This page sets out architectural model making cost Dubai ranges by model type, states what sits inside our quotations, and tells you what to send to get an architectural model making quote UAE project teams can put in front of a finance team.
To start, send your site plan and required delivery date. We will normally return an indicative figure within one working day, free of charge.
Choose the right quotation stage
You do not need a complete tender package to contact us. At an early stage we can issue an indicative budget range from limited information. Once the drawings and display requirements are confirmed, we prepare a fixed, itemised quotation for approval.
Architectural model prices in Dubai by model type
Every model is built to order, so the ranges below are planning guidance rather than a price list. The final figure is confirmed after we review the drawings, the model dimensions, the presentation finish and the delivery requirements.
| Model type | Typical size | Indicative range (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Study or concept model | Up to 0.5 m | 10,000 – 25,000 |
| Villa or individual building | 0.5 m to 1.0 m | 25,000 – 40,000 |
| Tower or high-rise model | 1.0 m to 2.0 m | 60,000 – 150,000 |
| Exhibition or display model | Varies by stand | 40,000 – 450,000 |
| Masterplan or community model | 5.0 m – 8.0 m | 500,000 – 1,000,000 |
| Large masterplan model | 8.0 m and above | 1,000,000 and above |
Exhibition and masterplan models carry the widest ranges because size, detail level, lighting, moving parts and interactive features vary enormously between projects. A project that sits between two of these bands — a small community model, or a single phase of a larger development — is quoted individually.
If you already know which type your project is, the relevant service page explains how we build it and what it is normally used for.
For large developments and community schemes, see our master plan models. For sales centres and launch displays, see our work as real estate model builders Dubai developers rely on. For exhibitions and stands, see our trade show display models.
What you receive in our quotation
Our quotations separate the main scope items so your team can review the offer clearly and compare it against the project requirements. Depending on the agreed scope, the quotation will identify:
- Drawing review, design preparation and CAD file work
- Model production at the confirmed scale, size and presentation level
- Display base and acrylic cover, where requested
- Lighting system and controls, where requested
- Delivery and on-site installation requirements for larger models
Any exclusion or optional item is stated in the offer. That makes it easier to approve the correct scope before production begins, and it makes our quotation directly comparable with anybody else's.
What to send for an architectural model making quote UAE
For an initial budget range, send the latest site plan and your required completion date. If available, also include the preferred model size or scale and a reference image showing the finish you expect.
For a fixed quotation, provide the available plans, elevations and 3D files, together with the display location, maximum overall dimensions, lighting requirements and any areas that must show interior detail. If some information is still pending, mark it clearly and we can quote the confirmed scope first.
What happens after you enquire
We review the submitted files, confirm any missing details, recommend a suitable model size and then issue either the budget range or the fixed quotation. Once the scope is approved, the quotation becomes the reference for production, delivery and any later requested changes.

Request your project quotation
The most reliable way to confirm architectural model making cost Dubai figures for your own scheme is to review the actual project information. Send your site plan and deadline for an early budget range, or send the full drawing set for a fixed, itemised quotation. If the brief is still developing, we can help you define a practical model size and scope before you commit.
Indicative figure in one working day
Send a site plan and your required date. We normally return a budget range within one working day, before a full tender package exists.
Free, itemised quotation
There is no charge for an indicative range or a formal quotation. The offer separates scope items so your team can compare it clearly.
Base, cover, and lighting stated
Display base, acrylic cover, and lighting controls are identified where they are part of the agreed scope, and exclusions are written into the offer.

Frequently asked questions
Normally within one working day after we receive a site plan and your required date. A fixed quotation may require the complete drawing package and confirmation of the display requirements.
Yes. There is no charge for requesting an indicative range or a formal quotation.
Because two models of the same physical size can differ several times over in price depending on detail level, lighting and interior work. A site plan and a deadline are enough for us to narrow the range to something you can actually budget against.
Yes. We can revise the scope before approval. Minor changes during production are usually absorbed, while a substantial change that requires completed sections to be rebuilt will be priced and approved before we proceed.
Yes. These items are shown separately where applicable. Larger models are transported in sections and assembled at the final location.
