Build & Refit Management
Build & Refit Management in Dubai
A new build or a major refit is one of the largest decisions a yacht owner makes — and one of the easiest to get wrong without someone managing it on your behalf.
At Dubriani, we manage new builds and full refits from specification through delivery, coordinating shipyards, naval architects, and suppliers so the project stays on scope, on budget, and on schedule. We represent your interests on-site, not the yard’s.
Your yacht comes out exactly as specified — not as whatever was easiest for the yard to deliver.
Our approach is built on one principle: we work for you, not the shipyard.
Instead of leaving specification decisions to whoever is easiest for the yard, we hold the project to what was actually agreed.
This includes:
- Independent specification and contract review
- On-site inspections at every project milestone
- Independent budget and timeline tracking
- Snag-list enforcement before final payment
With Dubriani, the yard answers to someone — not just to its own schedule.
A build or refit shouldn’t mean managing five contractors yourself.
We coordinate the shipyard, the designers, the suppliers, and the surveyors as a single managed project.
You get one point of contact and one accountable team — not a pile of separate invoices and excuses.
Most owners in Dubai end up piecing a project together across a shipyard, an independent designer, and a separate survey coordinator. We replace that with one accountable team, so nothing falls into the gap between contractors.
The result is a yacht delivered the way it was designed, not the way it was convenient to build.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both. We manage new-build projects from specification through delivery, and full refits from scoping through handover.
For you. We act as owner’s representative throughout the project — our role is to hold the yard to what was agreed, not to make the yard’s job easier.
Through independent cost tracking and milestone reporting, so overruns are flagged as they happen rather than discovered at the final invoice.
We enforce the snag list and hold final payment against it — the project isn’t signed off until it matches what was actually specified.
Yes. We coordinate directly with classification societies and surveyors throughout the build so compliance is built in, not retrofitted.
It depends entirely on scope — from a few weeks for cosmetic work to many months for structural refits. We provide a realistic timeline once scope is confirmed.
Request a build & refit consultation. We’ll review what you’re planning and scope the project before any commitment is made.
