Our Story

About Capriole Construction

Engineering excellence since 1976 — building the UAE one landmark at a time.

Our History

Five Decades of Building the UAE

The name 'Capriole' is drawn from equestrian tradition — a high-energy leap performed with strength, confidence, and precision. It reflects exactly how we approach every project: with technical mastery, bold execution, and unwavering discipline.

Capriole Construction Co. L.L.C. was established in Dubai in 1976, formerly known as Unity Contracting Company (UNCO) under the Hamarain Group. We are a 100% national general contractor operating across UAE.

Over nearly five decades, we have delivered an extensive portfolio spanning government facilities, defence installations, residential communities, commercial developments, and industrial complexes. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capriole Transportation Company - LLC, provides in-group plant and logistics support, and our Precast factory Capriole Construction Products Factory - LLC, established in 2008, also encompasses steel structure manufacturing as well as MEP and Duct workshops and a carpentry workshop.

Our continued success is built on engineering competence and an uncompromising commitment to quality and safety.
