Design and build in Dubai — one studio, one contract
Design, joinery, FF&E, on-site delivery.
Turnkey delivery for clients who want a single point of accountability. We hold the budget, the programme, and the quality from concept to handover.
This is one of twelve services held in-house by Montaigne Design. We do not subcontract the parts of the room that matter most — drawings are produced by our designers, joinery by our workshop, lighting by our team, and procurement is held by us. The contractor builds. We design and supervise.
Engagements typically begin with a private conversation in Dubai or Shanghai. Our minimum project fee is AED 400,000, and we respond within one business day.

Common questions
Frequently asked
What does design and build mean?
One studio holds the design, the procurement, the on-site delivery, and the aftercare under a single contract. The client deals with one team, not three.
Do you manage the contractor?
We appoint and manage the contractor. Our site team supervises weekly. The principal designer stays involved through completion.
What is included in the aftercare?
A twelve-month aftercare programme — care manual, supplier contacts, warranty documents, and visits at three months and twelve months post-handover.
