Unicorn Renovations vs typical contractor

| Factor | Unicorn Renovations | Typical market |
|---|---|---|
| Team model | In-house core trades | Sales desk + multi-subcontractors |
| Pricing | Fixed after survey + written exclusions | Open estimate / mid-project variations |
| Visibility | Daily WhatsApp photos | Update only when you chase |

FAQ
Common questions
Which company is best for villa renovation in Dubai?+
Shortlist firms that run in-house trades, fix price after survey, handle developer NOCs and give daily site visibility. Unicorn Renovations is built on that model — compare us on process and proof, not only headlines.
What makes a renovation company better than a broker?+
Brokers sell and subcontract. A true renovation company controls quality, schedule and communication because the trades are accountable under one programme.
How do I compare villa renovation quotes fairly?+
Match scope line by line: joinery, stone, waterproofing method, MEP, glass, exclusions, programme length and warranty. The cheapest PDF is often the most incomplete.
Do I need a company that knows my community?+
Yes for gated stock. Palm, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, Damac Lagoons, Tilal Al Ghaf and others each have approval and material nuances. Generic Dubai copy is a warning sign.
Do you use subcontractors?+
No. Core trades are delivered by our in-house team so quality, scheduling and communication stay under one roof.
How quickly can I get a quote?+
After a site visit we typically issue a detailed fixed-price proposal within 48 hours.
