ARX Unit Finishing Standards: Full Finishing and Clear Specifications From Contract to Handover

Finishing is the first thing you see in your unit and the last thing built into it, and it also decides your costs after handover and how quickly you can move in or rent out. That is why this guide sets out ARX unit finishing standards clearly: what full finishing means, which specifications to check, and how they differ across residential, commercial and office units.

ARX delivers all its units fully finished and explains the finishing specifications to the buyer at contract. At the end, you will find what sets each of our projects apart and how to inspect the finishing yourself at handover.

Unit Finishing Standards

Unit finishing standards are the specifications that define a unit's quality at handover: flooring and paint, doors and windows, electrical and plumbing works, air conditioning and smart systems. At ARX, every unit is delivered fully finished, and its specifications are explained at contract so buyers know exactly what they will receive.

• Floors and walls: the material type and its quality grade.

• Doors and windows: material, insulation and sealing.

• Electrical and plumbing: quality of switches, fixtures and installations.

• AC and systems: central or split, security and internet systems.

The ARX Real Estate Development Company applies unified quality standards from site selection to handover.

Property Finishing Specifications

In short, property finishing specifications are the detailed written description of each finishing item: the material, its brand or grade, and where it is used in the unit. What matters most is that these specifications are written in the contract or an annex to it, not only in the brochure, so they protect you at handover.

General phrases such as "luxury finishing" are not enough; you need a clear list of materials in every room.

To learn which clauses your contract should include, see our legal tips when buying property.

Full Finishing of Units

Full finishing means receiving the unit ready to use: final flooring and paint, interior and exterior doors, windows, sanitary fixtures, switches and lighting, and complete installations. Its advantage is that you need no contractors or extra months after handover, so you can move in, rent out or start your business right away.

Full finishing also saves you from searching for apartment finishing companies, negotiating with them and supervising the work yourself.

ARX explains the finishing level as part of the booking and buying steps with ARX before you sign.

Property Finishing Quality

Real property finishing quality is not measured by how a unit looks on handover day, but by how well it lasts for years: scratch-resistant floors, washable paint, thermal and sound insulation, and sound installations that do not cause leaks or faults. That is why ARX focuses on both materials and workmanship, not appearance alone.

1. Materials of known origin, with their grade stated in the specifications.

2. Precise workmanship in corners, joints and alignment.

3. Good insulation for roofs, bathrooms and windows.

Workmanship quality is part of protecting your investment's value, as we explain in real estate investment guarantees in Egypt.

Residential Unit Finishing

Residential unit finishing focuses on everyday comfort: comfortable, easy-to-clean floors, bathrooms and kitchens with complete installations, windows that block heat and noise, and energy-saving lighting. ARX delivers its apartments fully finished, so you do not need to look for modern apartment finishing after handover; you can start furnishing right away.

Many buyers look specifically for super lux finished apartments, since they combine quality materials and modern design with no extra cost.

Commercial Unit Finishing

Commercial unit finishing differs from residential: it focuses on a glass frontage that draws customers, floors that handle heavy foot traffic, electrical capacity for equipment and retail lighting, and easy access from the street. A fully finished shop lets you start your business or rent it out quickly without delay.

One example is the commercial units in Kéntro Tower on the ground and first floors, delivered fully finished.

The commercial tenant then adds their own business décor on top of the base finishing.

In New Damietta, there are commercial shops for sale in New Damietta in a range of sizes.

Administrative Unit Finishing

Office unit finishing focuses on the working environment: air conditioning suited to long working hours, fast internet, power and network installations for equipment, sound insulation and comfortable lighting. A fully finished office saves companies setup time and attracts tenants faster than an unfinished one, which improves your rental return.

The administrative offices in Kéntro Tower are delivered fully finished with central air conditioning and a fiber-optic network.

ARX Unit Finishing Standards in Every Project

ARX unit finishing standards follow one rule across all projects: every unit is delivered fully finished, with its specifications explained at contract. What sets each project apart depends on its nature, from central air conditioning and smart systems in Kéntro Tower to ultra super lux finishing in Asl.

Asl Compound

Asl compound apartments in the Sixth Settlement are delivered with ultra super lux finishing, the highest level of full finishing. The project offers apartments from studios to three bedrooms in buildings of ground plus six floors only, with a smart compound management system, combining finishing quality with low population density.

The project plan states handover within four years, with finishing specifications set in the contract.

What Is the Difference Between Full Finishing, Super Lux and Semi-Finished?

Semi-finished means receiving the unit with plaster and basic installations but no final floors or paint, so you complete the rest. Full finishing means a ready-to-use unit. Super lux finishing and ultra super lux are higher levels of full finishing, with finer materials and more detailed floors, lighting and ceilings.

 

The finishing level directly affects how fast you rent and how much rent you get, which belongs in any feasibility study for buying a unit.

Should You Finish the Unit Yourself or Buy It Finished?

Buying a finished unit saves you time, contractor risk and swings in material prices, and ensures uniform finishing across the building. Finishing it yourself gives freedom of taste, but it takes months of supervision and an extra, uncertain budget. That is why ARX delivers its units fully finished, sparing you this stage.

The finishing cost is also part of the unit price itself, so it is paid with your installments instead of looking for apartment finishing in installments elsewhere.

After handover, maintenance and property management services from ARX keep your finishing in good condition for years.

How Do You Inspect the Finishing at Handover?

Inspect the finishing at handover with a copy of the written specifications: check that floors are level and free of cracks, test every switch and socket, open every tap and check drainage, try the doors and windows, and run the air conditioning. Record any issue in the handover report so it is fixed before final signing.

1. Compare each item with the written specifications in the contract.

2. Test electricity, plumbing and air conditioning in practice.

3. Record notes in writing in the handover report.

4. Do not sign final handover until the issues are fixed.

ARX's move-in coordination team helps you complete handover and record any notes easily; see the construction stages up to handover in the Bariq units delivery date guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Finishing Specifications Written in the ARX Contract?

Yes, ARX explains the finishing level and its specifications to the buyer at contract, so you know exactly what you will receive before you pay. We always recommend asking for a written copy of the specifications and keeping it until handover, so you can check every item against it when you inspect your unit.

What Does Ultra Super Lux Finishing Mean?

Ultra super lux is the highest grade of full finishing in the Egyptian market, with finer materials for floors, walls and sanitary fixtures, plus extra details such as suspended ceilings and concealed lighting. It is the finishing level adopted for the apartments in Asl compound in the Sixth Settlement by ARX.

Does Full Finishing Include Air Conditioning?

It varies from project to project depending on the unit type. In Kéntro Tower, for example, units are delivered with central air conditioning and smart temperature control in every room. For the other projects, review the specifications annex at contract to see exactly which appliances and fittings the finishing includes.

Do Finishing Standards Cover Shared Areas?

Yes, project quality is not limited to the inside of the unit; it also covers entrances, corridors, elevators, facades, garages and security systems. In Kéntro Tower, for example, the facades use aluminum composite and glass, with fast elevators and a central building management system that runs shared services.

How Do I Maintain My Unit's Finishing After Handover?

Use cleaning products suited to your floors and paint, check plumbing and insulation regularly, and deal with any leak as soon as it appears. If you rent out your unit or live outside the city, you can rely on ARX's periodic and emergency maintenance services to keep the finishing in good condition.

In the end, ARX unit finishing standards are clear: full finishing in every unit, written specifications at contract and careful inspection at handover. To learn the finishing specifications for the unit you are interested in, contact the ARX Development team to send you the full details.
