High-precision Shop Drawings, BIM Modeling, and Project Management for the world's most ambitious developments.
Headquartered in Dubai. Powered by a global technical team. Delivering since 2014.
"In the architectural world, a project often loses its soul between the Plan and the Build."
PlanBuild was founded by two architects who have spent over a decade on the front lines of the Middle East's most iconic skylines — from the high-rises of Dubai to the heritage sites of AlUla.
We realized that true success requires a bridge between high-level Strategic Management and granular Technical Precision. We combined our expertise in managing multi-disciplinary design and tender processes with the mastery of shop-drawing production and site coordination.
We chose to be a borderless studio, utilising a global team to provide 24/7 technical support. At PlanBuild, we don't just draw — we ensure your vision is technically sound, commercially viable, and ready to build.
From the first drawing to the final handover — every engagement is tailored to bridge the gap between your design intent and site-ready execution.

PlanBuild's shop drawing team delivered a level of precision we hadn't seen before. Every detail was site-workable — RFIs dropped significantly on site and the consultant approval process was seamless.
Their tender support package was exactly what we needed to win a major hospitality contract in Dubai. They managed the entire technical submission and made sure we were commercially protected before we signed.
The BIM coordination work PlanBuild delivered for our Singapore tower was outstanding. LOD 500, zero major clashes on site. Their 24/7 availability made the time zone difference completely irrelevant.
