Our World

Projects in the air, at sea, on land, or crafted as one-of-a-kind commissions
all carry their own complexities. What unites them is the need for clarity, structure, and informed guidance.

HELM International provides that foundation across every sector. We establish strategy, qualify suppliers, manage procurement, oversee budgets, and coordinate global logistics so each element arrives exactly as intended. By handling the non-creative demands, we give designers, makers, and client teams the freedom to focus on what defines the project - the vision, the craft, and the experience.

We navigate the environments
where luxury is built

Strategy

Generate budget, timeline, and scope to provide absolute clarity from inception to completion.

Due Diligence

Screen goods and services using our 3 qualification pillars - capability, quality, and capacity.

Procurement

Contract/order fulfillment, communicating information with consistency, speed, and accuracy.

Supply Chain 

Align the delivery schedule with the construction program, detailing the critical path to stakeholders.

Budget Management 

Report forecasts, cost comparables, percentage spends, and budget variance analysis.

Global Logistics

Coordinate land/air/sea freight, ensuring goods are quality inspected and delivered on time. 

We take the leap with you

Aviation

Aviation demands absolute precision. Every material, component, and decision must meet strict technical and aesthetic requirements. We navigate these complexities with clarity and control, ensuring each item of supply is delivered with confidence.

  • Aligning procurement, certifications, contractual compliance, and stakeholder timelines to keep the project on budget and to schedule.

  • Coordinating aviation-approved testing for flame resistance, durability, weight, design specifications, and in-flight performance.

  • Managing communication across crew, contractors, suppliers, and makers - sequencing the delivery of fit-outs, templates, mock-ups, and samples in accordance with agreed delivery schedules.

  • Weight calculations, storage demarcations, inventory lists, and shipping documentation, for contractual compliance of all FF&E and OS&E.

  • Securing controlled storage on and off the aircraft. Orchestrating precise deliveries to completion centres.

We dive right in

Yachts

Yacht interiors must withstand movement, vibration, salt exposure, and constant environmental change. Our experience with these conditions allows us to guide the final layer of the project, ensuring every detail is carefully considered.

  • Managing shipyard access, installation teams, equipment hire, customs clearance, delivery consolidation, factory, and site acceptance tests.

  • Supporting technical drawing reviews, finish sample approvals, CFA sign-off, and the coordination of mock-ups, fit-outs, templates, substrates, and base-plate deliveries.

  • Supporting the sea fastening and fit-out phase, so each piece finds its place with the precision and stability demanded by life at sea.

  • Supporting sea trials and final room commissioning to confirm that every installed piece performs as intended under real conditions at sea.

  • Coordinating upholstery treatments, stain protection, custom covers, duplicate elements, and specialist glides, bumpers, and padding to safeguard every finish, while preparing care guidance, warranties, and O&M manuals for long-term maintenance.

We keep every step controlled

Architecture

Architectural projects require coordination across contractors, suppliers, trades, and timelines. We navigate these moving parts with fluency, ensuring procurement, logistics, and installation unfold seamlessly within the wider construction program.

  • Aligning procurement with the architectural program, ensuring specifications, approvals, and long-lead items support the construction sequence without delay.

  • Bridging communication between designers, general contractors, millworkers, specialist trades, and suppliers to ensure interiors are delivered to the correct standards and with full alignment.

  • Planning access, delivery routes, installation timing, and storage requirements to accommodate site constraints, restricted locations, and occupied residences.

  • Ensuring materials, finishes, and installations meet regulatory, environmental, and safety requirements.

  • Coordinating the final layer of installation: white-glove deliveries, soft furnishings, accessories, art placement logistics, and dressing for a complete, ready-to-use residence.

We seek masters of their craft

Savoir Faire

Custom commissions demand an elevated level of oversight - from sampling and prototyping to fabrication and final delivery. We manage each stage with clarity and control, ensuring the finished piece reflects both artistic vision and exceptional craftsmanship.

  • Managing custom dimensions, prototypes, mock-ups, sampling, and refinements - ensuring every one-off piece is executed with couture-level precision.

  • Creating immersive and meaningful touchpoints such as workshop tours, gallery visits, and curated sourcing appointments that deepen client appreciation and confidence.

  • Connecting clients and designers with specialist makers - ensuring creative visions are translated clearly and respectfully.

  • Guiding development from concept through fabrication, ensuring feasibility, material integrity, and design intent remain aligned throughout.

  • Coordinating monograms, engravings, hand-finishes, and bespoke hardware that add emotional value and a personal narrative to one-of-a-kind pieces.
