Contractors are disappearing from Dubai’s construction landscape — dropping from 25–30 bids per project to just 2–3. In response, major UAE developers like Emaar, Samana, Azizi, Ellington, and Arada are rapidly building their own in-house construction arms. This shift promises greater control over timelines, costs, and quality, but it also brings hidden risks. With fixed in-house capacity, developers may struggle during market slowdowns, where idle costs can erode profitability.
