Assumptions

  • Structure bands (USD/m²): single tunnel 25–50, multi-span 50–120, Venlo glass 150–350, semi-closed 300–600 — identical to the commercial greenhouse cost guide.
  • UAE climate uplift: +10% on the low end and +25% on the high end, the guide's range for hot arid Gulf sites.
  • AED uses the official fixed peg of 3.6725 AED per USD.
  • Quote requests cover commercial projects from USD 250,000; the buyer service is free.
