What is Sobha's backward integration and why does it matter?

Sobha Realty is the UAE's first fully backward-integrated developer, handling design, engineering, construction and even manufacturing of materials in-house rather than outsourcing. It introduced the model to Dubai with Sobha Hartland in 2012. Buyers value the tighter quality control, consistent premium finishing and better schedule adherence this gives, which is why Sobha is associated with strong build quality.
