Our Story

Founded in 2010, Carter Hones Associates began with a clear objective: to provide structured, professional construction project consultancy grounded in trust, integrity and long-term relationships.

Established in Dubai and now operating across the UAE and the wider GCC, we have grown into a multi-disciplinary consultancy delivering Project Management, Design Management, Cost Management and Secondment services across hospitality, leisure, masterplanning, residential, mixed-use, infrastructure and specialist and complex developments.

Our leadership team brings architectural, engineering, commercial and development backgrounds, which allows us to engage early across the construction lifecycle, shaping project strategy, testing feasibility, aligning design ambition with budget and establishing delivery frameworks that create certainty from the outset.

Today, we continue to focus on bigger, more complex and design-led projects, bringing clarity, structure and commercial discipline to every stage of the lifecycle.

“Being regulated by RICS reflects the high professional standards we uphold and gives our clients confidence that they are working with a capable, accountable and quality-led consultancy.’’
