a minute idea
(A practical guide “from reality” + an accurate calculation method + a checklist to prevent surprises)
If you are planning to finish a villa in Jeddah on a "turnkey" basis in 2026, you will likely want a clear answer to three questions:
How much does it cost? (An estimate close to reality)
What does the price include? (No hidden items)
How long does it take? (And when do you actually receive a ready-to-move-in house?)
This article is written to give you a complete roadmap : a quick cost estimate, a breakdown of the items that “actually change the price”, the execution time step by step, and the most important points for choosing a finishing company that protects your time and budget—especially in Jeddah where humidity, salinity, and air conditioning loads play a big role.
The closest “correct” way to calculate the cost : (Interior finishing area m² × price/m² according to level) + (Kitchen, carpentry, smart systems and external works if any) .
In the Saudi market, indicative ranges for residential fit-out costs such as 800–1,600 riyals/m² (varying according to specifications) are shown, and prices/examples of villa finishing services in Jeddah are also shown through local platforms (as market indicators).
The realistic duration is often: (2–6 weeks) preparation, pricing and approvals + (8–16 weeks) execution + (1–3 weeks) commissioning and delivery —and increases with luxury or owner changes during execution.
Important: Any “final” figure without drawings, specifications, and bills of quantities (BOQs) is an estimate. Professional pricing starts with a BOQ + Cost Estimate + Bid Analysis
Turnkey delivery means that one party assumes responsibility for the results from "preparation" to "delivery":
Finishing work (fit-out): gypsum/paints/flooring/carpentry/glass/metal
MEP works execution and commissioning: electrical + panels + lighting, plumbing + testing, air conditioning (Split/VRF/Duct) + commissioning, low current, fire protection, commissioning and testing (T&C)
Smart systems: lighting/curtain/air conditioning control, cameras, locks, multi-zone audio, Wi-Fi design
FF&E (as per contract): Supply and installation of furniture, chandeliers and decorative lighting, curtains/upholstery/carpets, kitchen appliances…
Delivery and documentation (in professional execution): Snag List + As-Built + (O&M/Training/Warranty if included in the contract)
Services
This is a crucial question because the "finishing cost" varies depending on the condition of the villa:
Your finishing here includes almost everything (MEP + full finishing + kitchen/bathrooms…).
Some items are already in place (such as extensions or flooring), so the cost will be lower… provided that what is in place is reliable and not “rework”.
This type may be more difficult than new because it involves breaking/removing/moisture treatment/re-establishment—but it is excellent for quickly increasing the value of the property (Home Staging / Renovation)
Services
Example: 420 m²
As a general indicator for the Saudi market, ranges such as 800–1,600 riyals/m² are mentioned for residential fit-out work (depending on specifications),
and price examples for villa finishing services in Jeddah are available on local platforms as a market indicator.
Estimated table for “planning” (not final pricing):
| Level | Quick description | Guidance range (riyals/m²) |
|---|---|---|
| Economical practice | Good materials without excessive luxury details | 800 – 1,100 |
| Average Excellent | Optimal balance (calculated carpentry and lighting) | 1,100 – 1,600 |
| deluxe | Superior carpentry + architectural lighting + stronger materials | 1,600 – 2,300 |
| Very luxurious/custom | Special details + Smart Extender + Exceptional materials | 2,300+ |
Kitchen (Specifications/Appliances/Counters)
Fixed carpentry (cabinets/doors/TV wall)
Air conditioning system (Split vs VRF/Duct)
Smart Home Systems
Outdoor works (seating areas/pergolas/lighting/landscapes/gates)
Quick example of a concept (420 m² / Premium Medium Level 1,100–1,600):
= 462,000 to 672,000 Riyals + Special items (Kitchen/Smart/Exterior Works…)
The actual figure is confirmed after the BOQ, specifications and approvals.
These are the sections that, if you understand them… prevent 80% of surprises.
It usually includes:
Electricity + Panels + Lighting
Plumbing and drainage + testing
Air conditioning (Split/VRF/Duct) + operation
Low current (networks/cameras/intercom)
Firefighting according to requirements
Testing & Commissioning
Why is this item sensitive?
Because any mistake here causes: malfunctions/leaks/odors/weak cooling/decoration damage… and annoying maintenance costs.
Gypsum board/ceilings/partitions
Hidden lighting + spotlights + chandeliers + scenarios (strong trend 2026)
Jeddah's advice: Don't rely on "strong lighting" without a well-thought-out distribution design... because bad lighting will show the finishing defects instead of hiding them.
Porcelain/Marble/Wood/SPC/Carpets
The difference is not just aesthetics: moisture resistance + durability + maintenance + sound .
Doors/Cabinets/Kitchens/Decor
Glass and mirrors
Metal/Stainless Steel/Handrail
Lighting/curtains/air conditioning control
Cameras and surveillance
Smart Entry/Locks
Multiple audio
Wi-Fi design
How to choose Smart without exaggeration?
Start with the basics (lighting + curtains + locks + cameras) and then expand later.
Supply and installation of furniture + chandeliers + curtains + carpets + kitchen appliances
Entrances/Passages/Seating Areas/Pergolas/Landscaping/Irrigation/Garden Lighting/Gates…
Upsizing + Range Selection
Professional Pricing: BOQ + Cost Estimate + Bid Analysis
Material approval and supply plan
MEP Installations
Partitions/Ceilings/Gypsum
Floors
Paints and coatings
Fixed carpentry
Lighting fixtures/switches/plumbing
Smart + Low Current
Testing & Commissioning
Snag List and Close Notes + As-Built
The two main reasons that prolong the duration:
Customer changes during implementation
The supply of carpentry/lighting/doors was delayed (therefore a strong supply plan is needed to "save the project").
Implementation of complete interior finishing (Fit-out)
MEP Implementation, Operation + Testing
Smart Home (if included in the contract)
Snag List + As-Built (and sometimes O&M/Training/Warranty depending on the contract)
Loose Furniture
Special devices “specific brands” (unless otherwise stated)
Large outdoor works/pool (unless expressly specified)
Value Engineering is not about "cutting corners"... it's about "smart alternatives" that give the same feeling at a better price:
Alternative materials that achieve the same shape at a better cost (highly in demand in the market)
Reduce waste by redistributing items: Concentrated luxury in (the entrance + the majlis + the master suite) and the rest of the rooms with excellent quality without exaggeration.
Fix the plans before starting (the most expensive thing is modification during implementation).
Before signing, ask:
Clear Bill of Quantities (BOQ) + Specifications + Supply Plan
Baseline timeline + reporting mechanism
Approved material samples (submittals)
Delivery documentation: Snag + As-Built + (O&M/Training/Warranty if included in the contract)
Previous works (Portfolio/Video/360) 
Prepare this data (only 5 points):
Finishing area (m²)
Number of rooms and bathrooms
Type of air conditioning required (Split / VRF / Duct)
Required level (Medium / Luxury / Ultra Luxury)

it depends on area, finishing level, HVAC system, joinery scope, smart-home features, and any outdoor works. For an accurate figure, you need specifications + a BOQ and then compare contractor/supplier quotes.
Typically yes—under MEP execution and commissioning (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, low-current systems), but the contract must clearly state what’s included vs. excluded.
Usually 2–6 weeks (design/BOQ/approvals) + 8–16 weeks (execution) + 1–3 weeks (testing, snagging, handover). Timelines increase with higher-end specs, late changes, or procurement delays.
Not mandatory, but increasingly requested because they improve comfort and property value. Start with core features (lighting, curtains, HVAC control, smart locks, CCTV) and scale later.
Request a detailed BOQ, clear specs, and a like-for-like bid comparison (Bid Analysis). Quotes without BOQ often look cheaper initially and rise through variations.
