Working with True Build.

For contractors, suppliers and specialist trades.

Partners · Dubai

True Build is the design consultant and the client’s representative on its projects. For you, that means one coordinated source of drawings and decisions, a client whose approvals arrive in writing, and a studio that treats good trades as part of the work, not as an adversary. The relationships we keep are long ones.

From us

What you can expect.

  • Complete drawings, specifications and schedules before you are asked to price, so you price what will actually be built
  • Samples and shop drawings reviewed and approved before fabrication begins
  • Purchase orders with written conditions, not verbal instructions
  • Decisions recorded while they are current, so scope questions are settled on paper, not from memory
  • Payment terms stated before work starts: procurement is client-funded and funds precede orders
  • Variations priced and approved before execution, with the narrative recorded honestly

From you

What we expect.

  • Price from the documents, and state plainly what your quotation excludes
  • No substitutions without written approval: veneer and laminate are not interchangeable, and neither is anything else
  • Programme honesty: lead times and deposits declared up front
  • Finished work protected until handover
  • Snagging closed against the documentation, and the defects liability period honoured

On commercial arrangements: any trade incentives or discounts we hold are disclosed and must never influence what we recommend to a client. Transparent arrangements only.

“A contract should improve project delivery, not simply allocate blame.”
