Building and Construction Translation Services

In Dubai’s fast-growing construction and infrastructure sector, accurate building and construction translation is essential for safety, compliance, and project coordination. Since 1996, Communication Legal Translation Est. (CLT) has been providing professional Building and Construction Translation Services in Dubai and across the UAE, supporting construction companies, engineering firms, consultants, developers, and project stakeholders.

Construction documentation contains technical, contractual, safety, and regulatory information that must be translated with precision. At CLT, we provide both LEGAL construction translation services (only in approved language combinations) and GENERAL (non-legal) construction translation services for other languages, depending on project and authority requirements.

Why Construction Translation Is Critical in Dubai

Dubai is a global center for large-scale construction, real estate development, and infrastructure projects. Construction translation is frequently required for:

  • Authority and regulatory submissions
  • Engineering and architectural documentation
  • Project coordination and compliance
  • Contractor and subcontractor communication
  • Safety and operational manuals
 

Errors in construction translation can lead to:

  • Project delays
  • Regulatory non-compliance
  • Safety risks
  • Contractual disputes
  • Increased project costs

CLT ensures construction translations are accurate, structured, and professionally reliable.
