Construction & Engineering
Construction & Engineering sector translation is delivered by our Kızılay, Ankara office Holland Tercüme for contractors, engineering firms and overseas projects. In this field, accurate translation requires more than language skills — it demands command of the sector’s regulations, standards and commercial jargon.
This page sets out our solutions for the Construction & Engineering sector, our terminology management, our quality process and answers to frequently asked questions.
Why Does Construction & Engineering Translation Require Expertise?
In Construction & Engineering documents a single wrong term can mean a lost tender, an invalid contract or serious costs. That is why your projects are routed to construction-and-engineering-fluent translators and pass through independent revision.
Documents We Frequently Translate in the Construction & Engineering Sector
We regularly translate and certify the following document types:
- Tender and technical specifications
- Progress-payment, quantity and survey files
- FIDIC and construction contracts
- OHS (HSE) and quality documents
In the Construction & Engineering field we work in line with FIDIC contract language and engineering units/terminology; this compliance ensures your documents are accepted smoothly both at home and abroad.
Sector-Specific Terminology and Translation Memory
Through the translation memory (TM) and term bases we build for corporate clients, a consistent language is preserved across all your documents over the years. Consistency is a quiet but powerful component of corporate reputation.
On repetitive content, translation memory both lowers cost and shortens turnaround; we offer special rates for regular needs.
Individual and Corporate Solutions in Construction & Engineering
Construction & Engineering needs are mostly corporate; we offer framework agreements, volume-based pricing, a dedicated project manager and a brand-specific translation memory. One-off requests are handled with the same care. For firms with steady paperwork we provide monthly consolidated invoicing.
Construction & Engineering Sector Confidentiality and Data Security
Construction & Engineering documents often contain trade secrets, personal data or competitively sensitive information. On every project we sign an NDA, store your documents on 256-bit encrypted infrastructure and permanently delete them at your request once complete. In this sector, data security is not negotiable for us.
In Which Languages Do We Translate Construction & Engineering?
In the Construction & Engineering field we work in more than 50 languages, led by English, German, Dutch, Flemish, French, Russian, Arabic and Chinese, using native translators matched to your target market.
Process Management for Construction & Engineering Projects
Construction & Engineering work often involves many documents, tight deadlines and several stakeholders at once. We manage such projects with a dedicated project manager, coordinating version control, term approval and the delivery schedule from a single point — so consistency and timing hold up even at high volume.
On urgent, critical Construction & Engineering documents we increase speed without lowering quality by sharing the work across expert teams while keeping term unity through a shared translation memory.
Why Professional Certified Translation?
Online machine translation may look fast, but on official, legal and technical documents it produces shifts in meaning and formatting errors. Such mistakes lead to a rejected application, an invalid contract, or costly delays.
With our professional service you receive not just a translation but correct terminology, editorial control, official approvals and confidentiality together — and that is what gives your document legal validity.
Our Construction & Engineering Translation Process, Step by Step
We follow a transparent, predictable workflow so you always know exactly where your project stands:
- Free quote: Share your document and receive a clear, no-obligation price and turnaround within minutes.
- Expert assignment: The text is matched to a specialist and, wherever possible, a native-speaker translator.
- Translation & revision: An independent reviser checks the translation against the source.
- Certification: Notarization and apostille are completed if required.
- Delivery: You receive an e-signed digital copy and/or wet-signed originals.
You are kept informed by e-mail and WhatsApp throughout, and urgent jobs are prioritised.
Our ISO 17100 Quality Approach
We believe quality depends on process, not chance. That is why Construction & Engineering translation passes through the three independent stages required by the international ISO 17100 standard:
- 1. Translation — by the subject specialist.
- 2. Revision — review by a second editor.
- 3. Final reading — readiness check before delivery.
As a result, small but costly errors are caught before delivery, and the outcome is reliably high.
The Legal Validity of Your Document
Your the translation of Construction & Engineering documents is made submission-ready through sworn certification, notarization and (for use abroad) apostille. A missing approval means a rejected document, so we plan the required level from the very beginning.
Thanks to our central location in Kızılay we work quickly with notaries, completing approvals in hours rather than days in most cases.
If the destination country is not party to the Hague Convention, a consular legalization procedure replaces the apostille; we follow that process too.
Ignoring sector terminology, expanding abbreviations incorrectly and using machine translation are the costliest errors in technical and legal documents.
Ankara-Based, Serving All of Türkiye
Our head office is in Kızılay, Ankara; with our digital workflow we meet your Construction & Engineering translation needs wherever you are in the country.
Pricing and Turnaround
The cost of Construction & Engineering translation is based on document volume (characters/pages), urgency and the type of approval (sworn, notarized or apostilled). So that you can plan your budget in advance, we keep pricing transparent. For a fair calculation, most projects are priced per 1,000 characters without spaces.
Standard documents are usually delivered in 1–2 business days, and urgent jobs the same day. Notary and apostille fees are paid to third-party authorities and shown as a separate, transparent line in the quote. For regular needs we offer volume-based corporate rates.
Your Data Is Safe
The documents you send for translation frequently carry competitively sensitive information. That is why we secure confidentiality from the outset and sign an internationally valid non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with anyone who requests one.
All files are kept on encrypted systems, accessible only to the experts assigned to the project, and deleted permanently at your request once the work is done. Your Construction & Engineering translation information is never shared with third parties.
File and Delivery Options
For your Construction & Engineering translation you can send the document in the easiest possible way — a scanned PDF, a photo or an office file. You choose delivery: fast digital (e-signed PDF) or, for official procedures, a wet-signed and stamped printed copy.
Printed copies arrive by courier; if you are in Ankara you can collect them from the office. For technical files with tables and images, we keep the original layout intact.
One Point of Contact, End to End
For your Construction & Engineering translation you handle translation, revision, notarization and apostille through a single contact. You do not run between different agencies, notaries and government offices; you leave the whole process to our team in Ankara.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle high-volume Construction & Engineering projects?
Yes; with our translation memory and expert-team capacity we deliver high-volume, repetitive projects consistently and on time.
What is the difference between Construction & Engineering translation and a notarized translation?
In short: sworn certification rests on the translator’s authority, while notarization is an official attestation. In practice most institutions require a notarized document; some accept a sworn signature alone. We clarify your need from the outset and guide you to the right approval so your document is not turned away.
Do I need to bring my document in person?
No; for most cases a clear scan or photo of your document is enough. Only for certain notary and apostille procedures that act on the original will we let you know in advance. You can run the whole process remotely from anywhere in Türkiye and receive the certified output by courier.
How fast is delivery?
Standard documents are usually ready in 1–2 business days. For urgent cases — visa, customs, health — a same-day option is available. For multi-page, high-volume projects we plan the deadline without compromising quality and confirm it clearly at the quote stage.
Do you also handle the apostille?
Of course. We handle translation, notarization and the apostille/consular steps in full; you deal with a single point of contact. We determine the correct legalization path for the destination country and deliver the document submission-ready.
How can I pay?
We offer practical payment methods, primarily bank transfer/EFT. Corporate clients can work with consolidated monthly invoicing. Whichever you choose, you see the amount you will pay — in writing and in full — before work starts.
How is the confidentiality of my documents protected?
Every project is covered by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Your documents are stored on 256-bit encrypted infrastructure, accessed only by the experts on the project, and permanently deleted at your request once complete. Nothing is shared with third parties except where legally required.
What happens if there is an error in the translation?
In such a case we review your feedback quickly and make in-scope corrections at no extra cost. Our aim is not to close the matter but to fit the document precisely to your and the institution’s expectations.
Will an institution abroad accept your translation?
Yes. Documents prepared with a sworn translator’s certification, notarization and apostille carry international validity. Based on whether the destination country is party to the Hague Convention, we determine the correct approval chain from the start and deliver the document in the format the relevant institution expects.
