Cleanroom Cost Calculator — ISO 14644 & ACPH

Q: How much does a cleanroom cost in the GCC?

As a rough guide, turnkey modular cleanrooms range from about USD 300–700/m² for ISO 8 up to USD 1,400–2,800/m² for ISO 5, before shipping and installation. The exact figure depends on area, finishes, HVAC and validation.

Q: Does the estimate include installation?

The turnkey option assumes supply with HVAC; site installation in the Gulf is available at additional cost and quoted separately by location.

Q: How accurate is this calculator?

It gives an indicative budget band from typical GCC rates and standard ISO 14644 air-change ranges for early planning. It is not a quotation; a formal quote accounts for your exact project.

How cleanroom cost is calculated

There is no single “price per square metre” for a cleanroom — the budget is driven mainly by the cleanliness class you need and the scope of supply. A higher class (ISO 5/Grade A) needs far more HEPA filtration, air changes and tighter finishes than an ISO 8/Grade D room, so the cost per m² rises steeply with class. The estimator above uses typical GCC‑market ranges to give a realistic budget band; your formal quote refines it.

The main cost drivers

ISO class / EU‑GMP grade — determines air changes, HEPA coverage and HVAC capacity.
Area & layout — total m², number of rooms, airlocks and pass‑throughs.
Scope — panels/components only, supply + fit‑out, or full turnkey with HVAC and controls.
Finishes & components — panel core, doors, windows, flooring, coving, lighting.
HVAC & filtration — AHUs, FFUs, ducting, pressure cascade and monitoring.
Shipping & installation — export freight to the Gulf and on‑site installation (available at extra cost).
Validation — IQ/OQ/PQ documentation support for your regulator.

What “ACPH” means

ACPH (air changes per hour) is how many times the full volume of air in the room is replaced each hour. It is the core HVAC number for a cleanroom: higher ISO classes require many more air changes, which sets the supply airflow and the number of HEPA fan‑filter units in the ceiling. The calculator multiplies your room volume (area × height) by the recommended ACPH band for your class to estimate airflow and FFU count.

Cleanroom cost & ACPH — FAQs

How much does a cleanroom cost in the GCC?

As a rough guide, turnkey modular cleanrooms range from roughly USD 300–700/m² for ISO 8 up to USD 1,400–2,800/m² for ISO 5, before shipping and installation. The exact figure depends on area, finishes, HVAC and validation. Use the calculator above for an instant band, then request a formal quote.

How many air changes per hour does ISO 7 or ISO 8 need?

Typical design ranges are about 10–25 ACPH for ISO 8, 30–60 ACPH for ISO 7, 90–180 ACPH for ISO 6 and 240–600 ACPH for ISO 5. The final value is confirmed by HVAC design and validation for your specific room and process.

Does the estimate include installation?

The “Full turnkey” option assumes supply with HVAC; site installation in the Gulf is available at additional cost and is quoted separately based on location. The “Panels/components” and “Supply + fit‑out” options are supply‑led. Tell us your preference and we’ll itemise it.
