— The approach

Considered from the first message
to the final snag.

01

Listen

You send us your villa details and what you'd like to change. We reply with a realistic AED range within 60 minutes. No forms, no junior callbacks, no chase-the-quote loops.

02

Survey

Our principal visits your villa with a structural engineer and interior designer. We measure, photograph, and identify what's structural, what's cosmetic, and what's worth fighting for.

03

Build

One accountable project manager. Fixed BOQ. Daily WhatsApp updates with photos. Materials sourced through our 15-year supplier network. NOC handled with your developer in-house.

04

Deliver

Snag list closed before handover. 3-year workmanship warranty on every project. We're a WhatsApp message away for the decade that follows.

Across Dubai's most
considered communities.

Forty-plus communities served, organised by tier. We work in each by appointment.

We've renovated three homes in Dubai. First Unicorn was the only team that finished on time, on budget, and without a single argument over what was promised.
