FAQ

Common questions

How much does it cost to finish an apartment per square metre?

There is no single fixed rate, because the cost depends heavily on your choices — the grade of flooring, whether you want standard or premium kitchens and wardrobes, the type of doors, gypsum and lighting design, and the condition of the shell. We price it as an itemised quote after a site visit so you see exactly what each element costs and can adjust up or down. As a rule of thumb we can give you a rough range on the first call, then a detailed written estimate within one business day of the visit. Send us the apartment size and area on WhatsApp and we will start there.

How long does it take to finish an apartment from bare concrete?

For a typical apartment it usually ranges from about two to four months, depending on size, the complexity of the finishes, and how quickly material selections are confirmed. Delays most often come from late decisions on tiles, kitchens or colours, so we lock those choices early. At the start we give you a schedule with milestones — plaster, screed, services, flooring, joinery, paint and handover — and your site supervisor keeps you updated against it. If you have a fixed move-in date, tell us up front and we will plan the sequence around it.

Do I deal with one company or many separate contractors?

One company. That is the whole point of turnkey finishing with Forme One. We coordinate plaster, screed, flooring, electrical, plumbing, doors, painting and joinery under a single contract, and you have one site supervisor as your point of contact. Because we manufacture the carpentry and doors in our own workshop and manage the trades ourselves, there is no gap between suppliers and no confusion over who is responsible for a defect. You approve, we deliver, and there is one team accountable from the concrete to the final clean.

Does the price include materials or just labour?

We can quote either way, and we will make it clear in the estimate. Most clients prefer a supply-and-install quote where materials and workmanship are included so there are no surprises, but if you want to buy certain items yourself — say a specific imported tile or a particular kitchen appliance — we can price labour and coordination around that. Whatever the arrangement, the quote is itemised so you always see the split between materials and work. We will also advise where spending more genuinely pays off and where a mid-range choice is perfectly fine.

Can I choose my own tiles, doors, paint colours and kitchen finish?

Absolutely — it is your home and the selections are yours. We guide you through choices for flooring, wall finishes, doors, paint colours, gypsum and lighting, kitchen and wardrobe fronts, and bathroom fixtures. We will show you options, explain the trade-offs in durability, maintenance and cost, and produce the joinery to match what you pick since we make it ourselves. If you would like help pulling it all into one coherent look, our design side can prepare a concept so the finishes work together rather than clashing.

How do payments work? Is there a payment plan?

Payment is staged against progress, not all upfront. Typically there is an initial down payment to mobilise and order materials, then instalments tied to completed milestones — for example after plaster and screed, after services and flooring, and a final balance on handover once you have inspected the work. The exact schedule is written into the contract so you always know what is due and when. We are happy to discuss the split that suits your cash flow; talk to us on WhatsApp and we will structure it clearly before any work starts.

Do you handle the electrical and plumbing finishing too, or only surfaces?

We handle the full finishing, including electrical and plumbing. That means finishing the electrical points, switches, sockets, distribution board and lighting, and completing the plumbing — bathroom and kitchen fixtures, water and drainage connections, and water heaters — all tested and working. We coordinate these first-fix and second-fix stages in the right order with the plaster, flooring and joinery so nothing has to be opened up and redone later. If the shell was handed over with rough-ins already in place, we work with what exists and flag anything that needs correcting.

The apartment came with some rough-in work from the developer. Do you build on that?

Yes. On core-and-shell handovers the developer usually leaves basic wall structure and rough-in pipes and conduits. We inspect what is there first, confirm it meets the standard we need, and build the finishing on top of it. If we find something substandard or poorly positioned — a badly placed drain, insufficient electrical provision for your layout — we tell you before we cover it up, with the cost to correct it, so the decision is yours. The goal is that nothing hidden behind a finished wall or floor comes back to trouble you later.

Do you provide a warranty or after-care once the apartment is handed over?

Yes. We stand behind our work and provide a warranty on the finishing and on the joinery we manufacture. If something within the agreed scope develops a fault — a door that needs adjusting after the timber settles, a snag in paint or a fixture issue — you contact us and we come back to put it right. Because the carpentry is made in our own workshop, servicing or adjusting a wardrobe or kitchen later is straightforward. We will set out the warranty terms in the contract so the coverage and duration are clear from the start.

Do you serve areas outside Amman?

Yes, we serve homes and businesses across Jordan, not only Amman. Our workshop is in Marka Al-Shamalia and we regularly take projects in the surrounding governorates. For sites further out, there may be a small allowance for travel and logistics, which we state transparently in the quote rather than hiding it. Tell us where the apartment is when you first contact us and we will confirm we can cover it and factor any logistics into the estimate.

Can I finish only part of the apartment now and the rest later?

Yes, we can phase the work. Some clients start with the essentials — flooring, bathrooms, kitchen and painting so the apartment is livable — and add wardrobes, feature ceilings or bespoke joinery in a later phase as budget allows. We will plan the sequence so the first phase does not have to be disturbed when we return, and we keep your finish selections on record so later work matches. Just tell us your priorities and budget for now, and we will propose a sensible split.

What exactly do I need to send you to get a quote?

To start, send us on WhatsApp the apartment location, its approximate area in square metres, the number of rooms and bathrooms, and the current state — bare concrete shell, partially finished, or a renovation. Any drawings, the developer's handover plan, or even a few photos and a short video walking through the space help a lot. From that we give you an initial range quickly, then arrange a site visit and return a detailed itemised estimate within one business day. The more detail you share about the finishes you have in mind, the more accurate the first number will be.
