The makan Way

In the conventional model, design happens blind.

You approve a concept without knowing what it costs. Then come the bids, the coordination and the compromises.

With makan.design, one team designs, prices and builds your office.

The conventional model

  • Design without knowing the cost
  • Painful bidding process after design
  • Hire 5+ vendors separately
  • Client manages all coordination
  • Design degrades at every handoff
  • No one stands behind the result

The makan Way

  • Design and cost engineered together
  • One team, one contract
  • Brand strategy embedded in design
  • Client approves at gates, we handle everything else
  • Same team designs and builds, zero gap
  • One team accountable for every detail

The design-build answer

One team from concept to handover.

We design, price and build your office under one contract. The people who engineer it are the people who deliver it.

One contract, one point of accountability

One team answers for design, cost, schedule and quality. No finger-pointing.

Cost known early

Design and cost are engineered together. You see the real number before you commit.

Faster delivery

No re-tendering and no handoff gaps. Your team moves in sooner.

Design intent protected

The team that designed it builds it. What you approved is what you move into.

What is makan Blueprint™?

A 2–3 week pre-project package. You see the concept and the real number at the same time, so if the number doesn't work, you find out now, not five months in.

2–3 weeksYours to keepCredited in full if you proceed
Step 01

Research

We survey and document your floor, and work through the brief: team structure, growth plan, brand.

Step 02

Plan

We develop and test layouts against how your people actually work.

Step 03

Design Concept

We set the direction: materials, palette and atmosphere, grounded in research.

Step 04

Price

Our cost team prices the design concept line by line, building a full bill of quantities from it.

Then

We present, and you decide.

We walk you and your stakeholders through everything in one session. Then the choice is yours: Design & Build, Interior Design only, or keep the Blueprint. No obligation.

Our process

Blueprint to handover. One team throughout.

You approve at clear gates. We handle everything in between: vendors, coordination, sequencing, supervision.

In their words

What our clients say.

“We have collaborated with Makan for every new office we establish.”

We started working with Engineer Amal the founder of makan.design in 2016, and since then, we have collaborated with her for every new office we establish, whether for Raed Ventures or Almajdouie Group. Amal and her team are distinguished by their innovative office designs, always aimed at creating a productive and comfortable work environment.

Common questions

Before you ask, here's the answer.

What does design-build mean?

One company designs and builds your space under a single contract. You deal with one team, and one party answers for the result, from first concept to handover.

How long does an office project take?

It depends on the scope. Our design-build timeline is typically shorter than the conventional approach, because design, procurement and fit-out overlap and there are no handoff delays. We set a realistic schedule during the Blueprint.

How does pricing work?

There's no fixed price per m². The Blueprint gives you a scoped cost plan before you commit to the project, and its fee is credited in full if you proceed.

Which cities do you serve?

The Eastern Province and Riyadh. Projects in other Saudi cities are considered case by case.

What does the Blueprint include?

A space assessment, two or three layout options, a design concept aligned to your brand, and a budget snapshot built from a real bill of quantities at ±10–20% accuracy. Delivered in 2–3 weeks, and yours to keep.

Can you work with our landlord's or developer's requirements?

Yes. The Blueprint's space assessment reads the constraints your landlord or base build imposes, and the design is developed within them from the start.
