The Problem
Why Most Dubai Renovation Projects Go Wrong
80% of renovation complaints in Dubai come down to the same issues. Here is what you risk with the wrong company — and how we solve each one.
❌ Common Contractor Problems
✗Unlicensed handymen posing as "renovation companies" — no DED licence, no recourse
✗Subcontracted labour that changes every week — no consistency, no accountability
✗No written contract or vague scope — costs balloon 30-60% midway through
✗Zero warranty — problems appear after 6 months and the company has vanished
✗No insurance — one accident and the homeowner is liable
✅ The First Unicorn Difference
✓Full DED trade licence for contracting, fit-out and renovation — verifiable online
✓100% in-house team — every worker is our employee, not a freelancer
✓Fixed-price contracts with itemised BOQ — the price you sign is the price you pay
✓3-year craftsmanship warranty backed by a company with 15 years in the market
✓Full contractor all-risk insurance — property, liability, and worker coverage

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know when vetting renovation companies in Dubai.
Yes. First Unicorn Interiors holds a valid Dubai DED trade licence for building contracting, interior fit-out, and renovation works. We have been operating in the UAE since 2010 and have completed 800+ projects across Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates. Our licence number is available upon request and verifiable through the DED portal.
100% in-house. Every tradesperson — tilers, plumbers, electricians, painters, carpenters, and MEP engineers — is a full-time First Unicorn employee. This means consistent quality, direct accountability, and faster turnaround compared to companies that subcontract. You will see the same faces from day one to handover.
We provide a 3-year craftsmanship warranty covering all works — structural, finishing, plumbing, and electrical. This is in addition to manufacturer warranties on materials and appliances we install. Our warranty is backed by a company that has been in the UAE for 15+ years — we are not going anywhere.
A full 3-bedroom villa renovation typically takes 8-12 weeks. Larger 5BR+ villas may take 14-20 weeks depending on scope. Kitchen-only renovations average 3-5 weeks, and bathroom renovations 2-4 weeks. We provide a fixed timeline in every contract with penalty clauses for delays on our side.
We use a 50/40/5/5 milestone structure: 50% on contract signing, 40% across project milestones (tied to specific deliverables), 5% at pre-handover inspection, and 5% at final handover after punch-list completion. This protects both parties and ensures accountability at every stage.
Yes. We handle all NOC applications, community approvals (Emaar, Nakheel, DAMAC, Meraas, etc.), and Dubai Municipality permits as part of our turnkey service. Permit costs are included in the quoted price unless otherwise specified. We have established relationships with all major community management offices.
Yes. We carry comprehensive contractor all-risk insurance covering property damage, third-party liability, and worker compensation. Insurance certificates are provided upon request and are required for community access in most Dubai developments. This protects you as the homeowner from any liability during construction.
15+ years in the UAE market. Our team has completed 800+ projects across premium communities including Emirates Hills, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, JBR, Downtown Dubai, and Business Bay. We specialise in villa, apartment, kitchen, bathroom, pool, and commercial fit-out renovations.
