Villa Construction in Dubai — FAQ
How much does it cost to build a villa in Dubai?
Roughly AED 390/sq ft for a standard build, AED 600-800/sq ft premium and AED 1,000+/sq ft ultra-luxury — typically AED 1.5M-6M+ for a 4-6 bedroom villa, excluding land. Fixed price from a real BOQ.
How long does it take to build a villa?
12-18 months including design, NOCs and the building permit. We give a written programme with the handover date before breaking ground.
Do you get the building permit and approvals?
Yes. The building permit, structural approvals and community/Dubai Municipality sign-offs are all handled in-house.
Do you provide the design too?
Yes — we're a single design-and-build team, so architecture, structural, MEP and build come under one fixed-price contract.
What licence do you need to build a villa in Dubai?
Villa construction requires a Grade-1 building contractor licence for structural works — a fit-out or renovation permit alone is not enough. First Unicorn builds under a Grade-1 DM-licensed contracting entity.
Can you build on my plot in Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills or Emirates Hills?
Yes. We survey community guidelines, setbacks and NOC requirements for major Dubai villa communities, then price and programme the build accordingly.
Do you only construct, or also renovate villas?
Both. New villa construction is led from this page; full villa renovation and extension have dedicated service pages if your scope is remodelling rather than a new build.
